As for her accessories, Queen Camilla styled her three-strand pearl necklace with a diamond clasp at the center and the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada brooch, which holds a significant symbolic meaning, per Steven Stone jewelry expert Maxwell Stone.
"The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada brooch is a meaningful and distinguished piece of royal jewelery, symbolizing her deep and enduring association with the regiment," Stone said in a statement to WWD, via email.

"Crafted in silver and embellished with diamonds, it's adorned with the regiment's iconic bugle horn cap badge. The brooch was presented to her in 2012 by General Sir Patrick Sanders, then Colonel Commandant of The Rifles, to mark her appointment as colonel-in-chief," Stone said.
"Since then, Queen Camilla has worn it on numerous ceremonial occasions, including during official visits to Canada. I'd estimate it to be worth around £100,000." (100,000 pounds equals roughly $135,095.) Queen Camilla has an extensive jewelry collection, often wearing brooches for particular public royal engagements.

Along with her own collection of jewels, the queen consort inherited several pieces from the late Queen Elizabeth II's collection, following the monarch's death in September 2022. In April 2024, Queen Camilla wore Queen Elizabeth II's regimental brooch , featuring the skull and crossbones symbol.
