Queen Camilla is a vision in white as she attends D-Day event in Normandy | Royal | News

Queen Camilla epitomised style and elegance today as she joined her husband, King Charles for a major event in France to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-day landings in Normandy.

The Queen looked stunning in an all-white ensemble featuring cream accents. Camilla donned a white dress coat which featured intricate metallic studs around the neckline, as well as the sleeves.

She paired the look with a matching white leather handbag, a cream scarf and a pair of sensible pointy heels in an oatmeal hue.

King Charles’s wife accessorised her look with a cream wide-brimmed hat and her beloved Cornelia James leather gloves in biscuit.

White clothing is steeped in symbolism, and typically represents innocence and purity.

For jewellery, Camilla opted for a pair of pearl drop earrings, her signature Kiki McDonough Apollo mini blue topaz and diamond pendant in yellow gold (£2,300), as well as a diamond and pearl brooch and a poppy badge pinned on her coat dress.

The Queen’s brooch had a scallop-shell shape and featured pave set diamonds around a single pearl.

The stunning piece is said to have been made in 1919 and was originally given to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother by Courtauld Thomsen’s sister, Winifred Hope Thomsen, before being passed to to her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II and now Queen Camilla.

Diamond experts at Steven Stone estimate the brooch to be worth £30,000.

Royal fans immediately jumped on the hype wagon and praised the Queen for her latest style choice in Normandy.

One user wrote on X: “Elegant charming lady love her outfits for these D Day events the super veterans will be at ease with her and will enjoy her company well done Camilla(sic)”

Another one added: “White Queen [hearts emoji]”.

A third one commented: “Just look at the love and happiness between these two Charles and Camilla you do is proud.”

Today’s commemorative event at the British Normandy Memorial in Ver-sur-Mer was also attended by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and France’s President, Emmanuel Macron as well as war veterans.

It also marks a significant first for the 75-year-old monarch, as it is his first overseas trip since his cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
