As well as a ruby and diamond bracelet, Camilla paid special tribute to Charles by wearing the King’s Family Order for the first time.
A Family Order is a badge worn by female members of the Royal Family personally bestowed by the Sovereign.
The tradition was first established by King George IV over 200 years ago.
Family Orders have since been instituted by Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, King George V, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II.

The badge normally features a portrait of the Sovereign surrounded by diamonds and is suspended from a silk bow.
Family Orders are worn pinned to the left shoulder on formal evening occasions when other orders and decorations are worn.
The portrait miniaturist Elizabeth Meek, MBE, was commissioned to paint the King’s Family Order.
The miniature is based on a photographic portrait by Hugo Burnand, taken in 2023.

It depicts the King wearing the uniform of Admiral of the Fleet, the Sash of the Royal Victorian Order, The Garter Star and Thistle Star and the Garter Collar and Neck Orders of the Order of the Bath and the Royal Victorian Order.
The miniature is painted in oil on polymin.
Following the tradition of previous Family Orders, the portrait has been mounted in a diamond-set white and yellow gold frame.
The reverse, in yellow gold, has an engine-turned ground engraved with a sunray pattern, over which the King’s crowned cypher is superimposed.
