Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
The Qatari state visit to Britain has officially begun, with the Princess of Wales paying a jewelry tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II as she helped to welcome the royal couple to London.
Tonight, King Charles III and Queen Camilla will host a sparkling state banquet at Buckingham Palace for the Emir of Qatar. As we anticipate the gala jewelry we’ll see at the event, I think it’s fair to say that we might get a glimpse of one of the suites presented to the late Queen by one of the previous Qatari rulers.
Queen Mary of Denmark stepped out in Copenhagen last week to honor Countess Danner, a little-remembered—and, in her day, quite controversial—member of the Danish royal family, wearing a brooch that came from her personal collection.
The holiday season is upon us, and we’ve been blessed with a truly spectacular roster of tiara events for the start of December. Today, here’s a look at some of the sparkle we can anticipate over the next two weeks!
Ninety years ago today, the British and Greek royal families gathered in London for the wedding of a prince and a princess. The Duke of Kent, the youngest surviving son of King George V and Queen Mary, wed Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark in a pair of sparkling ceremonies on November 29, 1934. In honor of the anniversary, I’ve got a closer look at some of Marina’s gorgeous wedding gift jewels—including a discussion of where some of the pieces are today.
