King Charles III and Camilla have arrived at Berlin Brandenburg Airport in Schoenefeld for their state visit to Germany.
The King and Queen Consort will undertake official engagements in Berlin and in Brandenburg before heading to Hamburg during the three-day tour.
Looking chic in all-blue, Camilla stepped off the plane wearing her Bruce Oldfield dress and a matching hat by designer Philip Treacy. She also accesorised with a very special piece of jewellery.
Diamond experts at Steven Stone have taken a close look at the diamond and turquoise brooch, revealing everything you need to know.
The Queen Consort accesorised her all-blue outfit with a diamond and turquoise brooch in the shape of a flower.
The brooch belonged to Queen Elizabeth II, who received it as a gift from Queen Mary on her confirmation in 1942, making it both a historic and sentimental piece.
Queen Mary’s jewels tend to only be spotted on special occasions.
It’s not just Camilla’s jewellery choice that appears to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II either – her outfit and hat are similar to an outfit and hat that the late monarch wore during her last visit to Germany in 2015.
“The King and Queen Consort have arrived in Germany for the first State Visit of their reign – and Camilla is a vision in blue.
The Queen Consort has accesorised her all-blue outfit with a diamond and turquoise brooch in the shape of a flower, that belonged to Queen Elizabeth II. The special brooch was reportedly given to the late monarch by her grandmother Queen Mary on her confirmation in 1942.
It’s not just her jewellery that the Queen Consort is paying tribute to Queen Elizabeth II through either – the late monarch wore a similar outfit and hat during her last visit to Germany in 2015.
Though oozing with sentiment, Camilla’s brooch is quite a simple piece – thus, I’d estimate it to be worth no more than £20,000.”
