King Charles III and Queen Camilla were joined by numerous family members at St. James\u2019s Palace for the presentation of education prizes on Tuesday, and there were some fascinating pieces of royal jewelry worn for the occasion.<\/p>\n

The King and Queen presented the Queen Elizabeth Prizes for Education on Tuesday at St. James\u2019s Palace, recognizing outstanding work by British colleges and universities that, per the official prize description, \u201cshows quality and innovation and delivers real benefit to the wider world and public through education and training.\u201d The prizes, originally launched to celebrate the late Queen\u2019s Ruby Jubilee, have been awarded biennially since 1994.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Appropriately, she accessorized with jewelry pieces that belonged to the late Queen: a pair of diamond clip brooches from Cartier<\/a>. These ivy leaf clips come from the Greville Bequest. They were made for Dame Margaret Greville in stages, with the first brooch made in the 1920s and the second in 1937.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Elizabeth became Queen just a few months later. (The clips, in fact, were the last pieces of jewelry<\/a> she was photographed wearing before her accession.) She kept the brooches in her collection and wore them regularly for the 70 years that followed. We even saw her wear them more than once<\/a> during the last year of her life, including an appearance in a portrait released to mark the 70th anniversary<\/a> of her accession.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Queen Camilla has worn the brooches several times in recent years. She wore them for the first time in public for a memorial service<\/a> in honor of the late King Constantine II of Greece in February 2024, and she also brought them out for Christmas at Sandringham<\/a> that year. For this week\u2019s reception, she wore the brooches together on one side of her neckline, while on previous occasions she has pinned them on either side of her collars<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The King and Queen were joined for the reception by the Princess Royal and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. (The Duke of Edinburgh was scheduled to be present but had to cancel after coming down with a cold; his Duchess is currently in Africa.) For the occasion, Princess Anne wore a navy and cream skirt suit with a bright red shawl.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
