Sixty-five years ago today, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were in Paris for a state visit—a trip that included a very glamorous, tiara-filled night at the opera.

Yesterday, we discussed several of the Queen Mother’s brooches that are now worn by Queen Elizabeth II. Today, as we wrap up our series on the Queen Mother’s bejeweled legacy, we’ve got a closer look at several more of her brooches, all of which are now worn by the Duchess of Cornwall.
