Headlines about Prince Andrew's latest scandals are dominating the royal news cycle, but King Charles and Queen Camilla have been quietly carrying out their duties. The King visited Manchester on October 20 to meet community members impacted by a recent synagogue attack, while The Queen and Zara Tindall attended Champions’ Day at Ascot racecourse over the weekend. Dressed in an elegant pale blue skirt suit, Queen Camilla accessorized with a stunning moonstone brooch—and the gem is said to possess a special "healing" power.
The brooch features a diamond-ringed "blue cabochon gemstone, believed to be moonstone," per jewelry expert Maxwell Stone of U.K.-based Steven Stone jewelers. The origin of the piece is unclear, but she debuted the brooch at Ascot in July 2022, going on to wear it at several royal events since—most recently Easter Sunday 2025. Stone estimates the piece to be worth £30,000, roughly $40,000.
