The Queen has granted a Royal Warrant to one of her favourite designers.
Anna Valentine regularly designs clothes for Queen Camilla. Among her most famous creations are the two outfits worn by Her Majesty at her marriage to King Charles.
Queen Camilla wore a cream dress and coat for her civil wedding, at the Guildhall in Windsor, and a blue and gold coat dress for the blessing which followed at St. George’s Chapel. Both were from the studio of Anna Valentine.
Since then, the designer has gone on to create many outfits for The Queen. One of her most high profile recent creations was a pale green coat dress worn for the start of the historic tour of Australia by The King and Queen in October 2024.

The Queen has granted Anna Valentine a Royal Warrant – one of seven that Her Majesty has given out in the latest distribution.
Buckingham Palace has announced that almost 400 companies have received Royal Warrants in this latest list of appointments which concludes the review begun when Charles III became Monarch.
Royal Warrants have been granted since the 15th century as a mark of recognition for the ongoing supply of services to senior members of the Royal Family. They are highly sought after.
As the announcement was made, Anna Valentine said ‘‘it is a wonderful recognition for the team of 16 highly skilled artisans employed at the Anna Valentine atelier in Marylebone, and a testament to Her Majesty’s loyalty, which is greatly appreciated.”
Other famous names on the list include Maldon Crystal Salt Company, Moet and Chandon Champagne and John Lewis.
