Honoring her predecessor. As Queen Consort Camilla is coronated with King Charles III on Saturday, May 6, she’ll wear a tiara that pays tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The 75-year-old royal (formerly known as Camilla Shand and Camilla Parker-Bowles) will wear Queen Mary’s Crown. After her modifications, the headpiece will include the Cullinan III, IV and V diamonds. The stones were part of Queen Elizabeth II’s personal jewelry collection.
“The choice of Queen Mary’s crown by her majesty is the first time in recent history that an existing crown will be used for the coronation of a consort instead of a new commission being made, in the interests of sustainability and efficiency,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement earlier this year.
The Queen Mary crown was created by Garrard & Co. for the June 1911 coronation of her husband, King George V. She later wore it without the arches as a circlet tiara for the 1937 coronation of her son, King George VI.
This isn’t the first time the Queen Mary crown has been altered. Just a few years after it was commissioned, the diamonds were replaced with quartz crystal replicas so the gems could be used elsewhere.
The centerpiece was the controversial Koh-i-Nûr diamond, which many activists have called to be returned to India. It was obtained as part of a peace treaty and presented to Queen Victoria in 1850 after the Anglo-Sikh wars. It is considered a reminder of Britain’s colonization of India (which left the Commonwealth in 1947). The Koh-i-Nûr was moved to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother crown in 1937. It is currently on display as part of the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London.
Meanwhile, the Cullinan III and IV were set in a brooch for Queen Mary, later worn by Queen Elizabeth.
