The object is the traditional ivory scepter which has been used by every Queen Consort since 1685. The magazine reported that Camilla may not use it because of Prince William’s love of elephants and his stand against poaching. Prince William has long been a critic of ivory trade. In 2022, Prince William praised the sentencing of Moazu Kromah who was given 63 months in prison for trafficking rhino horns and ivory from elephants.

“Today’s sentencing demonstrates both what is possible when a coordinated international response is brought to bear against the illegal wildlife trade, and why it is essential. This is a significant victory and a landmark case. For over a decade, its complexity has been skilfully met by a global alliance of international law enforcement agencies, governments, NGOs, and private sector organizations, including a number of brilliant United for Wildlife partners,” Prince William had then said.
In addition to this, it was earlier reported that Camilla will also not wear the controversial Kohinoor diamond but will instead wear Queen Mary’s headpiece.
