The second day of King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s American state visit wrapped up with a state banquet at the White House—and Camilla surprised us all by wearing a very rarely seen suite of heirloom amethyst jewels.

Queen Camilla did a quick change before arriving at the US Capitol for the King’s address to Congress on Tuesday, adding one of the Queen Mother’s beloved brooches to her ensemble.

The official welcome ceremony for King Charles III and Queen Camilla was held at the White House this morning, with Camilla wearing one of the grand diamonds she sported during their coronation three years ago.

The British state visit to America has officially begun, and Queen Camilla landed on US soil wearing a little-seen patriotic brooch with links to Queen Elizabeth II’s 1957 state visit to the United States.
