It's already been modified to add the order circlet.
Elizabeth II honors Camilla in her seventh wedding anniversary with Charles
This is another large statement by The Queen that she does approve of Camilla. The first statement was the day they married with the huge flag put up over Windsor Castle instead of the normal flag. The the Durbar Tiara - the one that Queen Mary wore for the Delhi Durbar in 1911, which Camilla has been allowed to wear. There can be no doubt that The Queen supports Charles' choice of second wife and sees her as a valuable asset to the family, probably because she has made her eldest son and heir so happy.

I more or less saw it as an indication of the Queen welcoming the eyes of the world into her home and really quite unrelated to Camilla, personally.
The spectacle of the performance is afterall what the monarchy provides the masses.
You may see it that way but imo everything about that wedding was about Camilla personally.
If you think it isn't then perhaps your understanding of how monarchy functions, as a visual presence, is not as well considered as you may like (?) to believe.
Am I alone in thinking that the Royals making awards like this to each other makes the monarchy seem self-obsessed and out of touch? I am not a republican, I want to see the UK monarchy continue but the sight of them covered in medals and awards, from each other, does not sit comfortably with me.

Thank you; so no special honor was accorded the newly married couple then.
