Camilla’s Mourning Outfit Included A Small Detail Gifted To Her By The Queen

King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort, were photographed at St. Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh as they honored the late Queen Elizabeth II with a prayer service, as noted by People. Again, the queen consort wore a black dress and strings of pearls, and she appeared to pay subtle tribute to the late monarch with her choice of brooch. Camilla had a stunning diamond thistle brooch pinned to her shoulder during the service, and many fans recognized the piece of jewelry as having belonged to Queen Elizabeth’s mother. The queen mother would often don the brooch by pinning it to her hat when she attended formal events. When she passed away in 2002, Elizabeth took possession of the pin. The queen later gifted it to her daughter-in-law, Camilla.

The brooch in question features two stems of thistle, which is the Scottish national flower. Camilla has been seen wearing the pin multiple times in the past and seems to be a favorite of hers to wear during her visits to Scotland.

It appears that Camilla is looking to honor the late queen now that Charles has ascended the throne. As queen consort, Camilla will be in the spotlight more than ever, and it will be interesting to see how she helps to keep Queen Elizabeth’s memory alive in the coming years.
