Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Next year’s Royal Collection Trust exhibition at the King’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace has officially been announced, and it’s a doozy: a landmark display of clothing, jewelry, and accessories worn by Queen Elizabeth II, in celebration of the centenary of her birth.
Today is National Day in Belgium, a patriotic celebration commemorating the start of the reign of the first King of the Belgians almost two centuries ago. We’re joining in the festivities today with a look at the small but magnificent collection of tiaras worn by the Queens and Princesses of Belgium, including jewels that have endured for a century and new additions to the royal collection.
Our celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of Crown Princess Victoria’s tiara-wearing career continues today with bonus reading: a look at the astonishing selection of family tiaras that she has worn over the past three decades.
