Queen Camilla sending 'hidden message' with subtle choice of feathers in hat
But it was the details in the Queen’s cap badge that carried a significant message.
King Charle’s wife chose to wear two feathers in yellow and blue – the colours of the Ukrainian flag – in a symbolic show of solidarity and support for Ukraine as the nation battles against Vladimir Putin‘s Russian invasion.
Elsewhere, Camilla donned the Royal Lancer’s brooch on her dress, which was the late Queen Elizabeth’s brooch, who was previously Colonel-in-Chief.
Today’s engagement was very special for the Queen as her father, Major Bruce Shand, served in the 12th Lancers and won a Military Cross for gallantry during the battle, and she wrote the foreword to Their Greatest Hour.
The Royal Lancers is an armoured reconnaissance regiment formed in 2015 when the 9th/12th Royal Lancers and The Queen’s Royal Lancers were amalgamated.
The words “(Queen Elizabeths’ Own)” were later added to reflect the regiment’s association with the late Queen and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
Over the past 12 months The Royal Lancers have been deployed in Poland as part of Nato’s Enhanced Forward Presence and Nato’s Kosovo Force, Buckingham Palace said.
