Queen Camilla joined King Charles to mark Holocaust Memorial Day at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, January 27, attending a reception with Holocaust survivors and their families. The Queen, wearing a navy dress, accessorized with a piece of jewelry that hasn't been seen since Queen Elizabeth II's funeral: Queen Victoria's Hesse Diamond Jubilee Brooch.
The heart-shaped diamond brooch with sapphire accents was gifted to Queen Victoria in 1897 to commemorate her Diamond Jubilee, marking 60 years on the throne. While Queen Camilla has worn the piece on several occasions, including the late Queen's 2022 funeral, jewelry expert Nilesh Rakholia says Camilla's decision to wear it on Tuesday was a deliberate and meaningful one.
