In terms of jewellery, Camilla sported her favourite string of pearls, some pearl stud earrings, a blue and gold Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet and a black leather watch. Now that she is the Queen Consort, she will have access to the Queen's stunning collection of precious jewels, part of which are housed at the Tower of London. The rest of the glittering collection are part of a private collection, with pieces expected to be passed down through the Windsor family.

Camilla also wore black as she arrived at Buckingham Palace on Friday

The 75-year-old royal was simply dressed for the sombre yet moving occasion, elevating her black mourning dress with her favourite three-strand pearl necklace. Met with cries of 'God Save the King', Charles and Camilla shook hands with emotional royal fans as they made their way into Buckingham Palace following an emotionally fraught 24 hours at Balmoral in Scotland.

The Queen Consort, whose new title is purely ceremonial, was smartly clad in a fit-and-flare dress with a subtle V-neck slit. She complemented the attire with simple black heels, tights and a bouffant blow-dry.
