Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom

There are some that are reserved for certain people/ranks especially the monarch/wife of monarch. There are those that are associated with certain people and some that are allegedly "loaned out". There as those that have their own (Sophie most often wears her wedding tiara which was a gift from Edward), Anne has two of her own. There are stories that Kate doesn't really like tiaras and wears one(s) she feels most comfortable with - often the Cambridge Lover's Knot when she was DOC. It wouldn't surprise me if she mostly picks a couple she's comfortable with an wears them as POW and then theoretically Queen.

Then there are ones like the one that Eugenie wore for her wedding that no one even knew for sure was in the vaults although it was rumoured. Plenty of ones whose provenance is unknown or dodgy or very undiplomatic.

Meghan would probably have been leant her wedding tiara any time there was a state occasion that the Sussexes were part of and maybe a few others.

I think Camilla is less interested in tiara protocol than HLM but there are going to be a lot of people making sure that everyone is diplomatically and personally appropriate as with any State Visit in the world.

Sadly, the Queen's rescue dog Beth has passed away. Queen Camilla adopted Beth from the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in 2011. She is also their patron.

What a tough year this has been! It's so sad to lose a pet, but hopefully there is comfort in knowing you gave them a good life.

She was a faithful companion.

There’s nothing like the love of a dog. Very sad for her.

Queen Camilla was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of London, in recognition of her efforts to promote literacy and literature. And Princess Anne presented it to her in her role as Chancellor!
