Queen Camilla paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II with her coronation crown

• Queen Camilla was crowned alongside King Charles at his coronation on Saturday.
• Camilla was crowned with Queen Mary's Crown, which was created in 1911.

Queen Camilla was proclaimed queen with a crown that paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II at King Charles' coronation on Saturday.

The traditional ceremony took place at Westminster Abbey in London and was attended by more than 2,200 people, according to a Buckingham Palace press release.

Charles was crowned with the St. Edward's Crown, the same one that was used at Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, according to Historic Royal Palaces, while Camilla was crowned with the Queen Mary's Crown.

The Queen Mary's Crown was created in 1911 for Queen Mary, the consort of King George V, according to a press release on the royal family website. Camilla is the first consort in recent history to reuse a crown from a previous coronation instead of having a new crown designed, which she chose to do in the efforts of sustainability, the press release stated.

The new queen had the crown adjusted with some personal touches to reflect her personal style as well as to pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth. The crown was reset with Cullinan III, IV, and V diamonds which belonged to Queen Elizabeth and were often worn by her as brooches, the press release added.

Additionally, Camilla wore a long-sleeved Bruce Oldfield coatdress embroidered with flowers including daisy chains, forget-me-nots, celandine, and scarlet pimpernel, which are meant to represent the king and queen's love of nature, Harper's Bazaar reports.

She also wore two robes at the coronation: one that Queen Elizabeth wore during her 1953 coronation, and a second custom robe that was designed by Ede and Ravenscroft with Queen Camilla's cypher, according to the royal family's website. The custom robe was embroidered with bees and a beetle feature to reflect Her Majesty's love of nature and the environment, as well as a number of flowers including the Lily of the Valley, which was featured in Camilla's wedding bouquet and was also one of Queen Elizabeth's favorite flowers, the website added.

Queen Elizabeth died at her Balmoral Castle estate on September 8, 2022. She was 96. Charles acceded to the throne immediately upon her death.

Before her death, the former monarch expressed her wish for Camilla to be titled Queen Consort after Charles became king.

"When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when the time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service," the Queen wrote in a statement for her Platinum Jubilee in February 2022.

However, Buckingham Palace previously confirmed that "consort" would be dropped from Camilla's title after the coronation. The initiations for the coronations referred to the royal as "Queen Camilla," and she will use the title in an official capacity after the coronation.
