Did Queen Camilla just send a silent message of support to Princess Eugenie? As a royal expert, I think so

A composite of two pictures of Queen Camilla and Princess Eugenie wearing the same emerald tiara on separate occasions.

It wouldn’t have mattered what magnificent gown Queen Camilla wore to this year’s Diplomatic Corps Reception on 18th November, her tiara was always going to steal the show. As soon as I saw her glimmering emerald-studded headpiece it struck me what a significant choice it was.

We’ve all seen the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara before - when Princess Eugenie wore it on her wedding day. This was the first time it had been glimpsed in years and no-one had publicly worn it since until Queen Camilla. The tiara is still strongly associated with Eugenie and I think Her Majesty and her team would have known this.
