For the historic occasion to mark the State Opening of Parliament, Queen Camilla favoured her go-to designer, Fiona Clare, and donned an elegant white long-sleeve gown.

The dress featured slightly exaggerated shoulders and ornate embroidered detailing on the hemline. Along with the white gown, Queen Camilla fashioned a pair of silver leather pumps courtesy of Eliot Zed, a brand the queen consort has worn in the past.

However, people noted Camilla had one thing missing from her attire - her ankle bandage had disappeared. The Queen had previously worn the bandage on her right ankle during her two-day visit to the Channel Islands.

It is understood that the bandage on her right foot was supporting her after an ankle sprain on July 15.

Royal reporters had noted there was "no ankle bandage" for the Queen during today's Parliament outing. Despite this, many fans were quick to comment on her previous injury. One fan said on platform X: "Poor Queen Camilla must be in pain with her sprained ankle."

Another commenting on her appearance today said: "Hope Queen Camilla's sprained ankle gets better!"

User, @g3mmava1entin3, wrote at the start of the proceedings: "Despite having a sprained ankle. She’s still going ahead with the planned engagement for today."

Another royal fan commented on how she was "carrying on like a trooper" as she supported her husband, King Charles.

The royal who is also celebrating her 77th birthday today got to wear her finery, including the royal collection's Diamond Diadem tiara for today's event. She also wore the late Queen Elizabeth's 28-diamond Coronation Necklace, estimated to be worth around £72,000.

The royal finished the look with a co-ordinating silver clutch bag and matching low-heeled shoes because she was still nursing her ankle injury. Later, Camilla also wore a crimson Robe of State, which was made for the late Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953.

The King and Queen entered the House of Lords for the historic day following a horse-drawn procession down the Mall. The King gave a historic speech as the country welcomed a new government, and King Charles revealed Sir Keir Starmer's plans for Britain in the coming years.

The Royal Family official account also posted a picture of Camilla recently taken on her Channel Islands tour this week with the following caption: "Wishing Her Majesty The Queen a very Happy Birthday today!" Sporting a royal blue dress, the image was also shared to the Royal Family's Instagram story.

As well as the new birthday picture being released by the Royal Family's X account, the Prince and Princess of Wales also took to social media to wish the Queen a wonderful birthday. Alongside the photograph, the royal couple wrote: "Wishing Her Majesty a very Happy Birthday!"

Both posts gained a lot of attention from royal fans, with many also wishing the royal a "very happy birthday".
