Queen Camilla Posts New Portrait in Honor of Her Birthday — PureWow

It’s also a piece with history for Camilla herself. As The Court Jeweller—who refers to the brooch as a bejeweled moth—notes, the queen last wore it to bid farewell to Empress Masako at the conclusion of Britain’s State Visit with Japan in 2024. She even paired it with the same dress she wears in her new birthday portraits.

It’s clearly a meaningful piece in Queen Camilla’s collection and one that provides a touching link to Queen Elizabeth II. The fact that it also carries a Birmingham connection is especially timely, coming just days after Prince Harry’s visit to the city for the “One Year to Go” celebrations ahead of the 2027 Invictus Games. Whether that connection is an intentional nod to that (and the family reunion that followed) or simply coincidental, the historic brooch has found itself back in the spotlight.

Either way, we’re wishing the monarch a very happy birthday—and looking forward to seeing which royal jewel she reaches for next.
