Queen Camilla dazzled in a green coat dress and hat as she put her best foot forward at the races this afternoon.<\/p>\n
The Queen, 76, paired the stunning ensemble with a pair of knee-length boots with a mid, block heel, and she paid tribute to the late Queen in her outfit.<\/p>\n
On her left lapel, Camilla donned a horse racing brooch, which features a diamond-encrusted steed being mounted by a jockey.<\/p>\n
The brooch was gifted to Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth for her 90th birthday, and passed on to fellow horse-racing enthusiast Queen Camilla following her death.<\/p>\n
As she arrived at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire for\u00a0QIPCO British Champions Day, the Queen smiled in a photo with world-famous retired jockey, Frankie Dettori.<\/p>\n

Queen Camilla dazzled in an emerald coat dress and matching hat as she arrived at Ascot Racecourse this afternoon<\/p>\n
Keeping her late mother-in-law close with the sweet tribute in her outfit, the Queen smiled as she walked into the racecourse to meet Mr Dettori and other racing officials.<\/p>\n
The brooch, commissioned by the Racing Post newspaper and made by Birmingham-based jewellers Alabaster & Wilson Ltd, marks a touching handover from one Queen to the other.<\/p>\n
The dazzling one-of-a-kind piece was made with three shades of gold, white for the horse, gold for the jockey and red gold for the reins and bridle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Queen, 76, met with world famous retired jockey upon arrival at the Berkshire racecourse ahead of\u00a0QIPCO British Champions Day\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Queen Camilla sported the late Queen Elizabeth II’s jockey brooch, which was commissioned by the Racing Post for her 90th birthday<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Queen looked elegant as she arrived at the racecourse, but was wary of the chilly weather in knee length suede boots<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Camilla and Frankie shared a joke at the beginning of the day<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Queen’s suede boots featured zip detailing and a block mid heel\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Camilla, who is renowned for her love of horse racing, beamed as she arrived at the Berkshire course<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Queen, who is known by those close to her to have a rip-roaring sense of humour, appeared to leave Frankie Dettori in stitches<\/p>\n
It is not the first time this week Camilla has made a nod to the late Queen, as she debuted one of Her late Majesty’s favourite ever headpieces to attend a banquet with King Charles on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n
The Queen, 76, accompanied King Charles, 74, to Mansion House in the City of London, where the monarch took part in a ceremony steeped in history and dined with business leaders.<\/p>\n
As she arrived at the venue wearing a shimmering Bruce Oldfield gown, Camilla wore the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara for the first time since the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022.<\/p>\n
The stunning diadem was first gifted to Princess Victoria Mary of Teck to mark her wedding to George V in 1893.<\/p>\n
Her late Majesty was known to be incredibly fond of the headpiece, and affectionately called it ‘Granny’s Tiara’.<\/p>\n
She wore the diadem during one of her first public appearances following the funeral of her father George VI, not long after she ascended the throne.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
It was recently revealed that Queen Camilla does her own make-up – and today she produced another showstopping look<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Upon meeting the Queen, Dettori took her hand and bowed<\/p>\n
It takes its name from the committee of women who raised money to create it.<\/p>\n
Made of diamonds set in silver and gold, it was topped by 14 pearls but they were replaced with 13 brilliant-cut diamonds .<\/p>\n
It is thought to have been one of Her Majesty\u2019s favourites, as she was often seen wearing it, and is even pictured wearing it on some bank notes.<\/p>\n
Camilla is the third queen to have worn the tiara, which was a wedding present in 1893 for Queen Mary, who passed it on to her granddaughter, the future Queen Elizabeth II, when she married in 1947.<\/p>\n
As the Queen proudly donned the sparkling headpiece for the first time this week, she chose a poignant occasion to wear it for the first time.<\/p>\n
Charles and Camilla took part in a Presentation of the Pearl Sword upon arrival at Mansion House, which is a tradition carried out by monarchs in the year of their Coronation since the 17th Century.<\/p>\n
The Pearl Sword, thought to have been given to the City of London by Queen Elizabeth I in 1571, has approximately 2,500 pearls on its scabbard.<\/p>\n
After receiving the sword from the Lord Mayor, the King returned it, signalling the authority of the Lord Mayor in the Square Mile when the King is not present.<\/p>\n
The ceremony was carried out by Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth in 1953, the year of her Coronation, and also in the years of her Silver and Golden Jubilees; 1977 and 2002.<\/p>\n
