All The Times Queen Camilla Has Sported Queen Elizabeth's Favorite Tiaras
Although Queen Camilla has been wearing some of Queen Elizabeth's favorite tiaras, Camilla's tiara of choice is frequently the Greville tiara, which was beloved by the Queen Mother. Also called the Boucheron Honeycomb Tiara, Camilla first wore it at a state dinner in 2006. Between April 2013 and March 2023, Camilla wore this scintillating tiara six times, including during events like the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, the 2019 State Opening of Parliament, and during King Charles' overseas tour of Germany.
Queen Elizabeth inherited the Greville tiara from the Queen Mother when she died in 2002, but she was never seen wearing it. The Queen Mother herself inherited the tiara, along with a sizable jewelry collection, from Dame Margaret Greville in 1942. Greville had a close relationship with the Queen Mother, and considered her a surrogate daughter.
Created in 1921, the Greville tiara features an eye-catching design of interlocking hexagons that enhance the piece's beauty and makes it less heavy for the wearer. The platinum setting for the stones is also lightweight. The Queen Mother first started wearing the piece in 1947, and she wore it to numerous events for the next 50-plus years. She also contributed some diamonds from her own collection and had them added to the top of the tiara.
