Just when you thought every possible royal fashion connection has been explored, Princess Charlotte and Queen Camilla have served up an unexpected matching moment. Royal Ascot is still a few months off, but Queen Camilla headed to the famed racecourse on Feb. 15 for The Ascot Chase Raceday—and she wore a gorgeous piece of jewelry that brings back memories of the first brooch Charlotte, 9, wore in 2022.
The Queen wore a glittering horseshoe-shaped pin that’s steeped in royal history for her equine outing, sporting King Edward VII’s Minoru Brooch. Per The Court Jeweller, the diamond, sapphire and ruby piece actually spells out the name of the late King’s horse, Minoru, who was a champion at the 1909 Epsom Derby.
The late monarch commissioned several brooches to commemorate the victory, like the one Camilla wore over the weekend, making it an extremely meaningful design to wear to the races.
