Camilla made a touching tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II during her latest visit.
On Monday, Queen Camilla made her first official visit to the Royal Lancers as its Colonel-in-Chief.
This position was formerly held by Queen Elizabeth II, following the Regiment’s formation in 2015.
In tribute to her former mother-in-law, Camilla accessorised her outfit with a brooch which once belonged to Elizabeth.

The glittering brooch featured the regiment’s skull and crossbones symbol and was also worn by the late Queen to visit the Royal Lancers.
Camilla also wore a blue dress by designer Fiona Clare paired with black leather gloves and the Queen’s classic knee-high boots.
Camilla’s outing was also a sweet nod to her late father, Major Bruce Shand, who died in 2006.
Commissioned in 1937, Major Shand served with the 12th Lancers during World War Two.

During her visit, the Queen made a speech stating: “The Lancers have always struck me for their family spirit, whose comfort and support I experienced as a daughter of the Regiment, and I’m delighted to see so many families and members of the Old Comrades Association here today.
“Particularly now, as so many of your loved ones look to deploy overseas.”
Camilla has made many touching tributes to the late Queen Elizabeth through her clothing.
At the Maundy Thursday Service at Worcester Cathedral last month, Camilla wore a pair of brooches that once belonged to the Queen.
