The Royal Family brought the glamour to Windsor Castle on Wednesday, December 3 as they welcomed Germany’s president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and first lady Elke Büdenbender for an official state visit. While Princess Kate sent jaws dropping in Queen Victoria’s diamond-and-ruby circlet tiara, Queen Camilla also wore a dazzling diamond headpiece steeped in royal history for their formal state banquet.
In mid-November, the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara—a favorite of the late Queen Elizabeth—was removed from the Edwardians: Age of Elegance exhibition at The King’s Gallery in London. While many fans assumed that it was taken from display for Queen Camilla to wear at the Diplomatic Corps reception on November 18, The Queen opted for a surprising choice instead, wearing the same emerald kokoshnik tiara Princess Eugenie chose for her 2018 wedding.
