It’s been a long year for the royal family, with health crises and security concerns. Queen Camilla recently came out of her recuperation after missing several royal engagements due to a chest infection to welcome the Amir and Sheikha Jawaher of the State of Qatar. King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted a state banquet at Buckingham Palace which saw an impressive turn up of very influential people. The event boasted about 150 guests, including former England national football team captain and ambassador of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, David Beckham and his wife Victoria.
According to the royal family’s Instagram page, the guests invited to the event were selected based on their cultural, economic and diplomatic link to the country being hosted. However, amid all the fanfare of the ceremony, Queen Camilla ended up in the headlines and not because of anything she’d said or done – but because of the dazzling tiara she chose to wear to the event.
Queen Camilla’s recent appearance at the Buckingham Palace state banquet, adorned with a historic tiara, ignited discussions across social media platforms. She chose a velvet red evening gown by Fiona Clare and wore the diamond Kokoshnik tiara that she inherited from her late mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II and which originally belonged to Queen Alexandra . She completed the look with a necklace which was procured from the royal collection and Family Orders representing both King Charles III and Queen Elizabeth II.
