Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
The new Queen Consort wasn’t the only royal lady adjusting to a new role in the wake of Queen Elizabeth II’s death. The Duchess of Cambridge became the Princess of Wales on September 9, when King Charles III elevated Prince William to the Wales title. Here’s a look at the jewels that Kate wore during the official mourning events for the late Queen.
For the past week and a half, the former Duchess of Cornwall—now the Queen Consort—has found herself mourning for her mother-in-law and monarch while also adjusting to the role of spouse to the King. Wearing brooches belonging to the likes of the Romanovs and the Queen Mother, Camilla has worn jewels that reinforce royal history while stepping up to the new challenge.
The Windsors weren’t alone in royal mourning on Monday. Royal cousins and friends from around the world joined the British royal family at the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, some wearing jewels with sentimental links to their British counterparts.
