Since becoming the wife of HRH The Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall has become a major figure within the Royal Family. HRH has undertaken many engagements, both with her husband and also alone. Many charities have asked HRH to be their patron and has proved herself a tireless champion for any causes.
As wife to the Heir to the Throne, HRH has to attend many State functions and when she does so, she has access to one of the most magnificent jewel collections in the World.
The Duchess wears some of the jewels previously worn by Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth and they look as magnificent on the Duchess as they did on the late Queen.
Apart from the diamond jewellery worn by the Duchess, HRH is also wearing The Queen's Family Order, this is in the gift of The Queen and only given to the ladies of the Royal Family. Each monarch has their own Family Order and The Queen normally wears her Fathers Order and her Grandfathers Order. In time, HRH will also wear the Order of her husband when he becomes King.
The above tiara worn by HRH had not been seen or used for many years until loaned to the Duchess by The Queen. It is now worn on many occasions and was first worn by the person who commissioned it for the Delhi Durbar in 1911, Queen Mary.
HRH The Duchess of Cornwall has shown that she will be an asset not only to the Royal Family, but also the country when she eventually becomes Queen.
