Queen Camilla opted for a subdued springtime ensemble for the commemorative D-Day 80th anniversary in Portsmouth, England, on Wednesday. The queen consort joined husband King Charles III and Prince William, both of whom shared remarks, for the occasion.
For the event, Queen Camilla fashioned an ensemble by one of her favorite, go-to designers: Fiona Clare. The British royal family member wore a soft pink dress with coordinated coat for the occasion. Queen Camilla paired the ensemble with a hat by Philip Treacy in the same shade of pink, which complemented the monochrome ensemble.

When it came to the pieces of jewelry Queen Camilla chose to wear, the gemstone she favored may have been a nod to the resilience of World War II veterans and the British royal family.
