During a State Banquet at Buckingham Palace, Queen Camilla donned the late Queen Elizabeth II’s iconic crown—a gesture steeped in royal tradition. While it symbolized continuity in the monarchy, the choice drew mixed reactions online.

The banquet, held on December 3, honored the Amir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad bin Suhaim Al Thani. Around 150 guests attended, celebrating the strong ties between the United Kingdom and Qatar in diplomacy, culture, and trade.

Camilla’s look was completed with a diamond necklace from the royal collection and the Family Orders of both Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III.

Someone else harshly remarked, “I’m sure Queen Elizabeth is screaming from her grave to take off her jewels I don’t think she was a fan of Camilla’s.” A fourth bluntly stated, “This is an utter disgrace.”

Conversely, an admirer praised her overall appearance, emphasizing how beautiful Camilla looked in her dress and how striking the tiara appeared.

Amid these conflicting opinions, one commenter adopted a more balanced stance, defending Camilla by highlighting her steadfast dedication to Charles and her central role in supporting him, regardless of public sentiment.

Despite mixed opinions from netizens, Queen Camilla continues the tradition of wearing royal jewels, reflecting the monarchy’s adherence to its historical customs in the modern era.
