Favorite Grandma’s Brooch: How Charles chose a decoration for Camilla

Beloved grandmother’s brooch: how Charles chose a piece of jewelry for Camilla

For over thirty years, Prince of Wales Charles has loved Camilla Parker-Bowles, and when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, gave permission for their marriage, he without hesitation presented his future wife with a precious piece from the family treasure trove — a brooch with a huge diamond.

Why this particular brooch?

Among the vast selection of jewelry, Charles chose a piece that belonged to his grandmother, Queen Mother Elizabeth. This choice reflected his special relationship with his grandmother, who supported him in all matters, including his love for Camilla.
