The Evolution of Camilla's Royal Style
Queen Camilla has carved out her own unique corner of the royal style pantheon.
From royal weddings and black tie events to international tours of the Commonwealth, Queen Camilla carries out a number of official duties. Unlike the late Queen Elizabeth—and her step-daughter-in-law Kate—Camilla usually steers clear of bright colors, favoring neutrals, pastels, and navy—with the occasional pop of bright blue. But when it comes to hats and brooches, she's not afraid to make a bold statement.
Here, her top looks.
