In an event that recalled the days of splendor of the British monarchy, Queen Camilla shone with her own light during the reception at Buckingham Palace dedicated to the members of the diplomatic corps of the country.
The 77-year-old consort was accompanied by King Charles and Prince William at this glamorous event which, unfortunately, could not be attended by Princess Kate Middleton.

For the occasion, Queen Camilla chose one of her favorite colors: an elegant blue that even matched her jewelry.
She opted for a stunning printed dress in shades of blue and black by Fiona Clare, complemented by a bright blue sash.
And we must mention the five-aquamarine tiara she wore tonight; this stunning jewel previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth II.

Curiously, this tiara had been lent to Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, by Elizabeth II herself, but it has returned to the royal jewelry box and it is now Camilla who displays it with great pride.
The Queen also added a personal touch to her look with an aquamarine and diamond necklace and earrings that further enhanced her elegance.
On her sash, she wore the insignia of the Order of the King’s Family, a symbolic tribute given to the women of the Royal Family, underlining their status and commitment.
This year’s reception was a showcase of the pivotal role the monarchy plays in British diplomacy, with more than 500 members of the diplomatic corps in attendance, including ambassadors, high commissioners, former prime ministers, along with the archbishops of Canterbury and York, among other relevant figures.
This was a great opportunity for Camilla, who had recently returned to her royal engagements after recovering from a chest infection that kept her away from some important events, such as Remembrance Day.
Undoubtedly, her presence and style at this reception reflected not only her stamina, but also her undeniable charisma and commitment to royal duty.
