Happy birthday, Duchess Camilla! See her best throwback style moments

By Heather Cichowski
Duchess Camilla has impeccable style. The duchess, who celebrates her 73rd birthday on July 17, has been in the public eye for decades and has always shown an innate sense for sophisticated silhouettes, beautiful jewels and striking colours.
Like Duchess Kate and Duchess Meghan, Prince Charles's wife is a style icon, and her older outfits remain as striking today as they did when she first wore them.
