Camilla Wears Queen Elizabeth’s Jewelry at Royal Ascot as Couple Celebrates First Win
Camilla, the newly crowned queen, was in luck when she wore something from Queen Elizabeth’s jewelry box on the third day of the Royal Ascot.
The event was made even more special for her and King Charles as they saw their racehorse, Desert Hero, gallop past the competition to win the King George V stakes.
The couple eagerly cheered from the Royal Box during the event, where Camilla sparkled in a brooch that previously belonged to her late mother-in-law.
Though not much was mentioned about the provenance of the rectangular diamond pin, the Royal Ascot confirmed the connection earlier in the day.
The glittering clip was fortuitous for the newly crowned queen on the third day of the Royal Ascot.

She and King Charles beamed as they accepted the silver trophy for the King George V stakes from Queen Elizabeth’s cousin, the Duke of Kent, and went to see Desert Hero after the win.
The lucky brooch Camilla wore on Thursday was her second heirloom jewel restatement this week.
On Tuesday, the Queen poignantly pinned on the Courtauld Thompson scallop shell brooch for the first day of the Royal Ascot.
The pin previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and she passed it down to her daughter Queen Elizabeth.
The Queen Mother memorably wore the seashell-inspired brooch for her 100th birthday in 2000, and Queen Elizabeth would go on to sport it for special occasions, from an unveiling of a statue of her mother in 2009 to granddaughter Zara Tindall’s wedding in 2011.
Queen Elizabeth also wore the scallop shell brooch to the Royal Ascot in 2019, where her horse Sextant won two events, per Racing Post.
Queen Elizabeth owned and bred many racehorses throughout her royal reign and had an impressive 24 horses win at Ascot through the years.
Following her death in September, her horse racing operation was passed down to King Charles.
On Thursday, Camilla wore a pale green dress by Anna Valentine and a feathered hat by Philip Treacy.
The Ascot tweeted about the details of Camilla’s outfit, which included the diamond brooch that belonged to Queen Elizabeth II.
Jockey Frankie Detry was joyful after winning a stride courage march to the top of the Ascot stride courage monamie, and the Royals shared his smile.
The couple also had the honor of presenting the prize for the Gold Cup, the oldest and most prestigious race of the Royal Ascot week.
The victory was especially sweet for the couple as it marked their first win at the first Royal Ascot of their royal reign.
