Queen Camilla Dazzles in Historic Amethyst and Diamond Jewelry at U.S. State Dinner
Queen Camilla attended a state dinner in Washington, D.C., wearing a fuchsia gown by British designer Fiona Clare Aldridge, complemented by a suite of amethyst and diamond jewelry with deep historical significance. The jewelry, known as the Kent Amethyst Demi Parure, includes a necklace and earrings that once belonged to Queen Victoria's mother, the Duchess of Kent. These jewels were inherited by Queen Victoria and later passed down through the British monarchy, eventually worn by Queen Elizabeth II. Queen Camilla's choice of jewelry highlights the continuity of royal traditions and the deep history of the British monarchy.
