But what really caught eagle-eyed fans’ attention? A royal accessory she’s never worn in public before: the Royal Family Order of King Charles III. The badge, featuring a miniature portrait of King Charles on a pale blue ribbon, was pinned above her Royal Family Order of Queen Elizabeth II, marking a significant milestone in her royal journey.
Queen Camilla was the first to debut the new Family Order, wearing it at the Japan state visit in June 2024 and again at this very event in France.
In case you need a refresher, the Royal Family Order is a personal honor bestowed by the monarch to female royals, usually after several years of official service. It’s a deeply symbolic gesture and one that dates back over 200 years to King George IV.
