Also accompanied by Prince William and Princess Kate, Camilla was the picture of elegance in a royal blue wool crepe dress and coat by her go-to designer, Fiona Clare. The smart, button-down number boasted a structured collar and was perfectly offset by a leather bag and matching gloves, ensuring all eyes were on her as she greeted President Cyril Ramaphosa in style.

The royal's silhouette-skimming coat was crafted from rich burgundy wool, which she paired perfectly with sleek pointed-toe heels and the Princess of Wales' feather brooch - a royal heirloom gifted to the late Princess Diana when she married the then-Prince Charles in 1981.
The event state visit is the first for King Charles as monarch as he welcomes the president of South Africa to the UK.
