THE royal watchers they had been waiting for it for a long time. At the banquet in honor of Emperor Naruhito of Japan, the Queen Camilla finally debuts with a very particular “brooch”. It’s about the Royal Family Order and it is the most prestigious recognition that a woman of the royal family can receive from the person who sits on the throne, much more than a jewel.
After having seen for many years only the portrait of Queen Elizabeth pinned to the dress or sash in the small diamond frame, the effigy of King Charles has finally arrived and it could only be his wife who presents it to the world.
«The tradition of commissioning a Family Order, a badge worn by women of the royal family conferred personally by the sovereign, was established by King George IV over two hundred years ago» specifies a statement from Buckingham Palace «since then the Family Orders have been established by Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, King George V, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II.”

Other women of the royal family were present at the banquet but only her Queen Camilla she had this honor displayed alongside the one that Queen Elizabeth awarded her in 2007.

The colors of the flag of Japan are in fact white and red: what better tiara than the Burmese for the occasion? The piece much loved by Queen Elizabeth is in fact characterized by diamonds and rubies, the colors of Tudor pink. Judging by some photos of the evening, the tiara must have caused the queen some headaches, in the literal sense of the term.
