The brooch, estimated to be at least 40 carats and worth around $10.1 million, has similarities to Middleton's engagement ring, originally given to Princess Diana by Prince Charles. The queen wore the brooch during a visit to the Isle of Man, sparking speculation about its significance amidst recent controversies surrounding the royal family.
Camilla paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II by wearing a glittering horse brooch gifted to her for her 90th birthday at Cheltenham Festival's Ladies Day.

The event has unveiled a new 'inclusive' dress code this year, which organisers hope will make spectators feel 'confident and at-ease' for their visit.
