As Queen Camilla watched the Remembrance Sunday service from the
balcony, her own military connections were on full display with her
choice in jewellery.
The Queen, who serves as Colonel-in-Chief of The Rifles, wore the Silver
Bugle Horn brooch presented to her by the regiment in 2020. Queen
Camilla assumed the role from her father-in-law, Prince Philip,
Duke of Edinburgh, that summer.
The Silver Bugle Horn brooch mimics the cap badge worn by The
Rifles and features 206 diamonds and three emeralds in a silver
bugle horn design resting below a St. Edward’s Crown.

Queen Camilla
has been very active in
her support of The Rifles over the past five years, and has
worn the Silver Bugle Horn brooch previously at Remembrance Sunday
and at the VJ Day commemorations over the summer.
The Queen is Colonel-in-Chief of The Rifles, the 4th Battalion,
Ranger Regiment, the Special Reconnaissance Regiment, the Grenadier
Guards, and The Royal Lancers (Queen Elizabeths’ Own). She is also
Commodore-in-Chief of The Royal Navy Medical Service and the Royal
Navy Chaplaincy Service; Lady Sponsor of HMS Astute, MS Queen
Victoria, and HRM Prince of Wales; and Honorary Air Commodore of
RAF Halton and RAF Leeming; and Vice-Admiral of the United
Kingdom.
Her Commonwealth military honours include Colonel-in-Chief, The
Royal Australian Corps of Military Police and Colonel-in-Chief, The
Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada.
A wreath laid on behalf of Queen Camilla at the Remembrance
Sunday service closely resembled the wreathes once created for
Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. The Queen’s wreath was designed
with 95 closed-style fabric poppy petals mounted on black leaves
with the ribbon using the colours of Queen Camilla’s racing silk:
brown, red and yellow.
