Queen Camilla Revives Serpent Necklace for A King’s Trust Celebration

Queen Camilla revived one of her rarely seen necklaces for A King’s Trust Celebration in London on Monday night alongside King Charles III.

The United Kingdom’s queen consort wore her diamond serpent necklace, a piece that’s been part of Queen Camilla’s personal collection for several years but rarely makes the rounds for public events and engagements.

The necklace is completely encrusted with diamonds and features ruby-set eyes for a subtle pop of color. The piece is a family heirloom, crafted by Van Cleef & Arpels, according to a November 2025 report from InStyle.

Serpents have been a symbolic motif embraced by members of the British royal family on rare occasions. Queen Victoria wore a snake-shaped engagement ring cast in gold with an emerald, while Queen Alexandra was the owner of a gold serpent bracelet.

As far as symbolism, a serpent is a transformative symbol, often cited for the way the snake sheds its skin. As such, the necklace serves as a symbolic piece for Queen Camilla — one of renewal and movement into the future.

Along with the statement necklace, Queen Camilla wore a royal blue lace midi dress with allover floral embroidery throughout. She added a purple cape atop for added textural contrast and some layering for London’s brisk temperatures.

Final touches included statement earrings, black tights and a pair of black pumps.

King Charles III founded The King’s Trust in 1976, when he was then-Prince Charles. Over the course of the last 50 years, the organization has served young people between the ages of 11 to 30 in the U.K. and internationally to build confidence and gain access to training programs in an effort to find employment. Monday’s fete at the Royal Albert Hall in London included start-studded guests like George and Amal Clooney, Lily Collins and more.
