Camilla stuns in white silk dress and striking diamond brooch that belonged to late Queen | Royal | News
Queen Camilla looked elegant in a white crepe silk dress by Anna Valentine as the royal couple stepped out for the first day of their royal tour in Kenya.
Known for her simple yet classic style, the Queen opted for a three-quarter sleeve knee-length dress.
The dress had stunning stitching details down the middle and an open V neck at the top.
Camilla accessorised the dress with a diamond oyster brooch that belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth.
It’s a sweet addition by Her Majesty to wear the brooch, as Kenya steeped in links to the former monarch.
Queen Elizabeth was visiting a game preserve in Kenya when she learned that she had become monarch in 1952.
The King and Queen arrived in Kenya on Monday, ready to embark on a four-day state visit.
Today marks their first public appearance in the Commonwealth nation, where they received a ceremonial welcome at the official residence in Nairobi.
They were greeted by Kenya’s President William Ruto and his wife First Lady Rachel Ruto and they each held bilateral meetings following the military pomp.
Charles and Camilla were invited by the President to celebrate the 60th anniversary of its independence from Britain.
The King is having to tread a careful line as he acknowledges the “more painful” aspected of Britain’s colonial relationship with Kenya, particularly the the atrocities perpetuated during the Mau Mau rebellion.
