Queen Camilla wore a very rare brooch passed to her by her mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth, during the Easter Sunday service at St. George’s Chapel.
The royal, 76, arrived at Windsor Castle wearing the brooch pinned to her black cape, which was elegantly draped over her shoulders.
This dazzling accessory is made of emeralds, diamonds and sapphires and was passed down to him by Queen Elizabeth.
But some of the brooches in the collection have barely seen the light of day, with the late Queen only displaying them in public on a few occasions.
This particular brooch is believed to have originally belonged to Queen Mary of Teck, who was photographed wearing it in the early 1900s, according to royal fan account British Royal Jewels stated on Instagram.

Queen Elizabeth rarely wore the brooch. Here she is pictured wearing it in 1997 at the Royal Windsor Horse Show.
This elegant brooch contains sapphires, diamonds and emeralds.
Queen Mary is believed to have worn it on several occasions, including in 1909, after the royal family was joined by Tsar Nicholas II and his family for the Cowes Regatta, Tatler reported.
Less than a decade later, in 1918, the Bolsheviks assassinated Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra, and their five children, effectively ending the Russian monarchy.
The brooch paired well with Queen Camilla’s emerald green ensemble that she wore to the annual Easter Morning service on Sunday.
She showed sartorial solidarity with Sarah Ferguson and Princess Anne, as they all wore shades of traditional Easter green.
The royal looked elegant in her elegant dress which she teamed with a matching hat, black suede knee-high boots and a classic Chanel clutch.
Queen Camilla wore a number of brooches, with deep meanings behind them as she put on a brave face and carried out her royal duties in the absence of Kate and Charles last week.

Last Wednesday she made a royal visit to Shrewsbury, where she donned a brooch that had never been seen in public before.
Camilla was dressed in a brown leopard print blouse by Fiona Clare, a brown suede skirt and a camel topstitched coat by Anna Valentine.
It features two bumblebee brooches, one of hers and the other belonging to her mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth.
According to The Queen’s Jewels by Leslie Field, one of Elizabeth’s first brooches was a set of diamond bee brooches.
