Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Today, Princess Benedikte, an aunt of the King of Denmark, celebrates her 80th birthday in Copenhagen. Benedikte’s jewelry box is brimming with beautiful heirlooms, but today we’re looking at a tiara that was created especially for her as a birthday present back in the 1960s.
On this date, more than a century ago, a future King and Queen of Denmark were married in a French villa during a heavy downpour of rain. Today, let’s look back at the wedding of King Christian X and Queen Alexandrine–and one of the heirloom Romanov tiaras she inherited.
We were treated to a bejeweled surprise from Denmark today: a new set of glittering gala portraits of King Frederik X and Queen Mary, featuring Mary wearing pieces from the crown jewel collection for the very first time in public!
