The story behind the crown Camilla will wear at Charles’ coronation

Yesterday marked an impressive 70 years since The Queen ascended to the throne.

To celebrate, the Palace released Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee portrait, and also announced that Camilla Parker-Bowles would be known as Queen Consort when Prince Charles is crowned King.

In a length address, Her Majesty wrote, 'And when, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service.'

Palace sources have now revealed that on Prince Charles' coronation day, Camilla will receive the Queen Mother's crown - who was also known as Queen Consort.

The stunning piece features 2,800 diamonds, as well as the centrepiece: the 105-carat Koh-i-Noor Indian diamond.

She wore it for King George VI’s coronation in 1937, though it originally belonged to Queen Victoria, who was gifted it in in 1856 by the Sultan of Turkey to show his support during the Crimean War

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
