It seems that Camilla chose to wear a traditional item presented to Charles during one of his visits to Saudi Arabia. It was created by acclaimed Saudi designer Yahya Al Bishri and is made from wool and cashmere.

Camilla's impeccable style has come to the forefront in recent years. She has become a picture of elegant restraint – never overdone and always carefully considered.

One of her favourite designers is Fiona Clare, often her first port of call for official events.

Dressing royalty is a true pinnacle moment in any designer's career, and Fiona couldn't be happier. She previously told HELLO!: "At the stage I am in my career, there have been many highlights, but the day I received a call from Jacqui Meakin - HRH The Duchess of Cornwall's dresser - was a jewel in the crown!"

She added: "I feel very proud to be one of her team and absolutely love creating for her, it is a wonderful feeling to see her in a photograph looking amazing."

Camilla has also earned praise from another top British designer, Christopher Kane, who has said: "I think it is no coincidence that since the Duchess of Cornwall's public persona has changed, so too has her personal style.

"She looks more confident, and her choice of clothes and colour palette reflects that."
