Overview
- King Charles and Queen Camilla, joined by Prince William, hosted the annual Reception for the Diplomatic Corps at Windsor Castle.
- The Queen wore the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik tiara, the Boucheron piece Princess Eugenie borrowed for her 2018 wedding.
- Created in 1919 for Margaret Greville and later inherited by the Queen Mother and Queen Elizabeth II, the tiara resurfaced publicly for the first time since Eugenie’s nuptials.
- The Princess of Wales did not attend the evening event after delivering a daytime speech at the Future Workforce Summit, her first major public address in two years.
- Reports described a large turnout of diplomats—several outlets cited more than 900 guests—and noted Camilla’s Fiona Clare gown with diamond serpent necklace and earrings, with some commentators reading her tiara choice as a supportive nod to Eugenie.
