Queen Camilla Coordinates Antique Enamel Wartski Brooch With Deep Green Ensemble

Queen Camilla, clad in a Roy Allen ensemble and Wartski brooch, joined King Charles III on Wednesday for a special outing in London at BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir (known as the “Neasden Temple”).

The queen consort favored a deep green tone, wearing a coordinated jacket and midi skirt set with a white blouse. Queen Camilla paired the ensemble with sheer black tights. During the visit, Queen Camilla and King Charles III went barefoot, honoring the traditions of the Neasden Temple.

Queen Camilla accentuated her ensemble with a special brooch. The queen consort donned the antique enamel and diamond-set brooch at the base of her blouse’s neckline, augmenting the green color scheme of her overall attire.

The brooch hails from London-based antique jewelry specialty firm Wartski, which was established in 1865. Previously worn by Queen Camilla at the National Harvest Festival Service on Oct. 16, the brooch dates back to 1890, per The Court Jeweller.

Wartski’s official selection of brooches, featured on their website, includes a bevy of selections from the late 19th century and early to mid-20th century. For both recent occasions at which Queen Camilla wore the brooch, her sartorial selection featured a deep green colorscape. The queen consort wore an Anna Valentine emerald-green dress for the National Harvest Festival Service, for example.

Queen Camilla’s brooch collection is extensive. The queen consort, who ascended the throne in September 2022 alongside her husband King Charles III, often gravitates to brooches as a signature accessory for her attire, holding both sentimental meaning and historic significance.

Among her own collection, Queen Camilla owns several Van Cleef & Arpels brooches. Following the death of long-reigning monarch Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Camilla inherited a trove of pieces from the late royal’s collection. Along with brooches, Queen Camilla has worn tiaras and necklaces that once belonged to Queen Elizabeth II.

As part of their visit to BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir (known as the “Neasden Temple”) on Wednesday, Queen Camilla and King Charles III observed spiritual ceremonies, met members from the community and social impact initiatives and socialized with members of the congregation.
