Anna Valentine is among Queen Camilla’s go-to designers. She recently repurposed a dress by the designer during another hosting occasion. The queen consort hosted the “Maiden” Yachting Crew after their Global Ocean Race win at Clarence House on Monday. For the intimate occasion, Queen Camilla wore a navy dress with stitched detailing along the shoulders, bodice and neckline.

She previously wore the look during her visit to a maternity unit at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London in October 2022. Among other designers Queen Camilla favors, she often wears designs by Fiona Clare. For King Charles III’s first public outing since his cancer diagnosis last February, the royal wore a leopard-print look by Fiona Clare.

Queen Camilla launched the Wash Bags Project in 2013. At the time, she was the Duchess of Cornwall. The initiative provides wash bags full of toiletry items, which are donated by Boots UK and assembled by In Kind Direct to survivors of sexual assault. Sexual assault referral centers offer the bags to survivors following forensic examinations.
