King Charles III has given his Family Order to Queen Camilla. She was spotted wearing it tonight at the State Banquet for the Emperor and Empress of Japan.
The Queen wore the Order with Queen Elizabeth II's Family Order. It is not a surprise that Camilla is the first to receive Charles' Family Order, which is given solely to distaff members of the Royal Family.
Neither the Duchess of Edinburgh nor the Duchess of Gloucester have received the King's Family Order. The next opportunity will be in December when the King hosts the Diplomatic Reception at Buckingham Palace.
It is only a matter of time before the other royal women - the Princess of Wales, the Princess Royal, Princess Alexandra, and the Duchesses of Edinburgh and Gloucester are given the Order.
The portrait is by Elizabeth Meek and painted in oil on polymin. It is based on a 2023 photograph by Hugo Burnand. The Order is mounted in a diamond-set white and yellow gold frame.
