Queen Camilla continued her sapphire style streak in a Fiona Clare gown with a sentimental tiara during U.S. President Donald Trump’s and First Lady Melania Trump’s visit to the U.K. during the state banquet at Windsor Castle on Wednesday night.

Britain’s queen consort augmented her sapphire gown with special pieces of sapphire and diamond jewelry, including a tiara that paid homage to Queen Elizabeth II — the Belgian sapphire tiara.

The Belgian sapphire tiara has a long history that dates back to the early years of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. The piece was added to the long-reigning monarch’s jewelry collection roughly 10 years after she ascended the throne. She wore the piece on several occasions, including state banquets. Following her death in 2022, the tiara was bequeathed to Queen Camilla.

The British royal’s sapphire streak kicked off upon the Trumps’ arrival at Windsor Castle on Wednesday.

The Belgian sapphire tiara has seen many state banquets hosted by British royal family. Queen Elizabeth II memorably wore the jewelry piece in October 2015 for the state visit of President of China Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan. Following suit, Queen Camilla wore the tiara to the state banquet in honor of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, at Buckingham Palace in November 2022.
