The Royal Necklace Nobody Recognized — Inside the Oman State Banquet

I had a few predictions for the state banquet honouring the Sultan of Oman. I thought we might see some magnificent emeralds, and I was quietly hoping that Catherine would surprise us with the sapphire jewels once presented to Princess Diana by the Sultan of Oman.
Well, none of my predictions came true.
Instead, Queen Camilla appeared wearing an extraordinary amethyst necklace that even experienced royal jewellery watchers couldn't identify. And that was only one of the jewels worth examining during this remarkable visit — the first by a Sultan of Oman to Britain in forty-four years.
So, let’s take a closer look at what the royal ladies wore, and the fascinating history behind their choices.
