Very regfal look. I only wished she had opted

for another necklace this time. And i wonder why does not sue the King's Family Order? Or ist that not worn at the State Opening? And when yes why

Great look. That necklace is spectacular.

I was expecting Camilla to wear her RFO at the State opening of Parliament today.

Maybe not the best comparison but QEII also didn't wear her RFOs as well, maybe because of the robes?

In Guernsey today, the Queen appears to be wearing sapphire and diamond earrings, probably the ones she wore at QE2's funeral. I haven't seen great pictures yet.

The King and Queen, who celebrates her 77th birthday tomorrow, arrived on Guernsey this morning - with crowds lining the streets to see them - for day two of their royal tour.

And the earrings have stirred some debate

Did Queen Camilla Wear Diana's Sapphires in Guernsey?

King Charles and Queen Camilla continued their visit to the Channel Islands on Tuesday, and Queen Camilla wore an interesting pair of sapphire and diamond earrings that echoed another famous suite of royal jewels. King

I wonder are they Diana's sapphire and diamond earrings?

We would have to look back to Queen Elizabeth (QEQM) and Queen Mary. But then they also wore the Garter Sash which Camilla doesn't.

I wonder are they Diana's sapphire and diamond earrings?

Unlikely, IMO.

Firstly, I think Camilla has not (barring the historic brooch with the Prince of Wales feathers), and is unlikely to wear jewellery personal to Diana. The reactions that might elicit are not worth it. Camilla also has access to one of the world's largest jewellery collections, so really has no need.

Secondly, the demi-parure is likely to be with the sons of Diana, and not in the royal vault. Camilla is, therefore, unlikely to have access to it even if she wanted to.

Thirdly, lovely as the design might be, they are not unique. Queen Mary did not like wearing pendant earrings, preferring studs, and may well have acquired this pair to match her sunray sapphire tiara.

I was thinking it was rather unlikely to see Camilla wearing them.

At the State Opening of Parliament 2024 today:

Given the relatively simple gown this might have been a good opportunity for the Queen to wear a devant-de-corsage. Perhaps Queen Victoria's Fringe brooch or Queen Mary / QE2's stomacher couuld have been pressed into service.
