Catherine can wear the jewels that are either hers or in her possession without any questions asked.Does Kate have to ask Camilla or Charles for permission to wear any of the jewels? Or can Kate wear certain jewels at her ow digression when she needs to? I just had the impressions the Camilla rules on wearing of jewels, that Camilla is stingy on what is worn. Thanks in advance.
For jewels from the vault, my guess is that she is lent pieces with the consent of Camilla (or Charles). I don't think Camilla is stingy. In the few gala events in this reign that Catherine has attended, new to her jewellery has included some pretty historic pieces including the Festoon necklace (Coronation pictures, May 2023), the Greville chandelier earrings (Jordan 2023 and Diplomatic Reception 2023) and the Strathmore Rose tiara (S Korea state banquet, 2023). She did not wear new to her jewellery for the 2 gala events in 2022 (South Africa state banquet and the Diplomatic Reception) as they were held in the initial weeks of the new reign, and she probably wanted the focus to be on Queen Camilla. Catherine has also worn the historic Queen Alexandra Prince of Wales feather brooch on at least two occassions.
