King Charles and Queen Camilla have successfully wrapped up their official tour of Australia and Samoa.
Throughout this royal visit, Camilla’s wardrobe has held special significance, featuring pieces from her favoured designers, Fiona Clare and Anna Valentine.
Much of her attire was recycled from previous engagements and tours, with only three new dresses introduced – striking the perfect balance.
The thoughtfully curated outfits and accessories showcase Camilla’s commitment to sustainability and her fondness for reusing pieces.
Celebrity stylist Rachel Fanconi tells MailOnline: ‘Queen Camilla has sensibly and seamlessly continued to use pieces from her spring/summer wardrobe for the Australian tour.
‘It feels like sustainability is a requirement for her outfits and the quality of the pieces and their timeless style means that they can be used for years.
‘She’s such a champion of English designers and it’s wonderful to see her showcase these pieces again around the world.’
Each look not only reflects Camilla’s personal style but also pays homage to royal traditions, blending elegance with practicality, as we explore below.
