Queen Elizabethcontinued to wear the set throughout her reign, for various special occasions like state dinners.

Although King Charles, 74, became monarch immediately uponQueen Elizabeth’s death in September and named Queen Camilla, 75, as his Queen Consort the following day, the historic service — including the crowning — was carried out at Westminster Abbey on May 6.

The coronation did not take place immediately to respect a period of mourning as well as to allow time for preparations for the ceremony.

For her crowning moment, Camilla wore theQueen Mary’s Crown. The spectacular sparkler is set with 2,200 diamonds and was made for King Charles' great-grandmother for the coronation of her husband, King George V, in 1911.
