Queen Camilla was a picture of elegance on Wednesday as she stepped out alongside King Charles for the State Opening of Parliament.
The royal, 78, wore a beautiful embroidered white dress by Fiona Clare featuring a Queen Anne neckline, full-length sleeves and a beautiful train. She added a modern touch with her silver heels, but it wouldn't be a State Opening of Parliament outfit without an heirloom jewel.

Camilla opted for the glorious George IV State Diadem, a crown dating back to 1820 when the eponymous king commissioned it from jeweller Rundell, Bridge & Rundell.

Elevating her jewellery suite to the next level on this occasion, Camilla paired the diadem with the late Queen Elizabeth's 28-diamond Coronation Necklace.
