Camilla's touching tribute to Queen by copying her clever umbrella trick at airport

In a touching tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, an emotional Queen Camilla has adopted one of her style tips as she travels to Buckingham Palace. The longest reigning monarch has been noted as a style icon in various fashion magazines over the years and was even named one of the top five shopping influencers in the UK by eBay.

No matter the weather, Queen Elizabeth II was always prepared with accessories - such as umbrellas - which would either match or compliment her chosen outfit. She would always match the edging of her umbrella to her clothing - and ensure the dome was clear so she could greet her public without her view being disrupted.

Before boarding a plane from Aberdeen Airport with King Charles, Queen Camilla was spotted holding a clear umbrella with black edging to match her black clothing.

According to Bored Panda, the Queen had been using a specific style of umbrella since 1993 called the Fulton birdcage dome umbrella. She had them custom made by the brand to match her coats, hats and dresses.

Queen Camilla looked tearful while travelling back to London with her husband King Charles after spending the night at Balmoral along with other members of the royal family, including Princes William and Harry.

The statement announcing the Queen's death named Camilla as Queen Consort, in line with the Queen's wishes.

King Charles III will address the nation at 6pm tonight in a televised speech as the country's new monarch.

This will be followed by an Accession Council – the formal proclamation of Charles as King – which will take place at St James’s Palace, in London, tomorrow morning.

The speaker of the House of Commons confirmed this afternoon that the house would sit until approximately 10pm this evening to give MPs a chance to pay tribute to her late Majesty.

"I would like to inform the House that we will sit today until approximately 10 p.m. for tributes (to Queen Elizabeth)," Lindsay Hoyle told lawmakers in parliament.

"At approximately 6 o'clock, the House will be suspended while His Majesty the King makes his broadcast the nation."
