There Queen Camilla she is, notoriously, a true lover of brooches. It is truly rare, in fact, to see her appear in public without a precious jewel pinned to the collar of her coat, or to the left of her colorful midi dresses.
Counting the pieces she owns is practically impossible, and yet, among the many precious ones that make up her collection there is one that often appears during equestrian competitions, the favorite hobby and sport of English royalty.
The pair looked more united and coordinated than ever at the Cheltenham Festival. A chromatic and stylistic complicity that has now become their fashion signature
Yet another testimony to this habit has arrived in the last few hours. The wife of King Charles III has indeed arrived in Cheltenham for the usual event of the horse races wrapped in a forest green coat with a belt on which a necklace in the shape of a Horseshoe – certainly not a casual tribute to the occasion – covered in diamonds, rubies and sapphires.
In addition to the shape, what makes the colorful brooch special is the series of letters that make up the word «Minoru», none other than the name of King Edward VII's most successful thoroughbred. The steed competed between 1908 and 1910, boasting a decent career that made him one of the best colts of the time, but among his most striking victories was the race at Epsom, in 1909, which allowed to then King Edward to become the first reigning monarch to win the Derby. Even the colors of the stones, red and blue, are not random. As reported thecourtjeweller.com they were the racing colors of Edward VII.
A Barbie reveals Queen Camilla's favorite look
Mattel has created a doll in the image and likeness of the sovereign characterized by a very recognizable style. The outfit consisting of a blue dress and a cape was chosen by the royal herself, perhaps thinking of more carefree moments
The real reason why is unknown the jewel, today, is in the hands of Queen Camilla, but it seems that King Edward VII at the time had several brooches created to celebrate his horse's victories. Regardless of its origin, the necklace is undoubtedly a true lucky charm, which Camilla does not shy away from adding to her looks during the most important equestrian events.
Before Cheltenham, we saw her with the same precious one in November, on the occasion of the weekend of races at Ascot, and again at Aintree and during other competitions.
Will it bring you luck like it did for King Edward VII?
