Its five strands of diamonds covered her decolletage and made the Queen's jewels look quite modest as they attended the Queen's banquet for the Commonwealth Heads of Government in Kampala, Uganda, on Friday.
But Camilla didn't deliberately set out to overshadow her mother-in-law - the Queen gave her permission to borrow it from the royal collection.
Camilla's favourite couturier, Anna Valentine, designed her a simple duck-egg blue dress and matching stole to set off the necklace, estimated to be worth tens of millions of dollars.
The Duchess added the Queen Mother's Boucheron tiara, a set of diamond earrings and the Queen Elizabeth II Family Order, given to female members of the royal family.

The comments here are revealing. Clearly Freeper men care only about looks and not the quality of the person. No wonder so many of them will be all alone tonight posting on the Lonely Hearts thread.
Flame away. I’m wearing my asbestos bikini.
She should spend a bit less on diamonds and a bit more on dentistry.
It would appear so.

HAHA! Who knew???
Thank you.
I think it is “the quality of [that] person” which draws our mocking. I would never call hillary ugly unless the ugliness came from within. Same here.
Enjoy your superior, fantastically-full life, bikini and all!

You are right. Camilla deCornwall has aged dramatically and looks very estrogen-deprived now.
That necklace is truly awful... She should have opted for a Diana-style choker (covering her chicken-skin neck wrinkles) in a classic style with a center jewel.
The dress is also artless... looks like something my late mother might have buzzed up on her old Singer sewing machine!
I wonder if some “fashion consultant” sabotaged her...
OH please, the barely out of teenage years Diana knew what she was agreeing to, HA, it was NOT until she agreed to marry her pretend Prince she got what she was agreeing to. Short of actually ending her life just how was she going to get out of her agreement. Once she had those boys she kept as much as she could, and sadly she was toooo shortsighted for her own safety.
Probably the divorce threads, but point taken. ;)
Hillary would wear a crown like that if she thought she could get away with it.
From what little I’ve read, she knew before the wedding that Charles still loved Camilla instead of her but she went thru with it anyway.
Inasmuch as she probably wouldn’t have married *me* anyway, I don’t care all that much. She played up the “poor abused princess” role and got as much out of it as she could. If she hadn’t been attractive no one would have cared.
“I still have not understood the purpose, value or the public’s facination with those people.”
I’m with you. Thank God for the Republic.
Possibly he didn’t get into Di and Fergie snorting lines of coke from one another’s butt crack.
I think she looks good for 87.
