Duchess Camilla looked regal in the floral maxi dress from the celebrity and royal-approved brand.

A silver pendant adorned her neck, adding a metallic glimmer to her timeless ensemble.
She wore her blonde hair down in her signature blow-dry look and opted for a natural makeup blend. For the special occasion, the royal was joined by beloved British actress Joanna Lumley who looked gorgeous in an emerald green shirt dress with black, purple and pale green polka dots layered under a black blazer.
