Queen Camilla Opens School Library in London, Wearing Van Cleef Dog Brooch

The engagement highlighted her role in the National Year of Reading.

Overview

  • Camilla visited Christ Church Primary School on Feb. 4 to open a new library as part of literacy efforts in London.
  • Outlets reported the stop as the National Literacy Trust’s 2,000th coronation library, a milestone attributed to the charity with limited independent corroboration.
  • She pinned a Van Cleef & Arpels Lucky Animals dog brooch to her coat, a design in 18-karat yellow gold with mother-of-pearl and onyx from a collection introduced in 2017.
  • Her look featured an Anna Valentine coat with suede boots and a black leather handbag, emphasizing a restrained, winter palette.
  • The canine motif echoed her Battersea Dogs & Cats Home patronage and her recently revealed adoption of a puppy named Moley.
