Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Last weekend’s major announcement about the future title of the Duchess of Cornwall has naturally led to questions about the eventual coronation and the jewels she’ll wear. Today, we’re looking at the crowns of British queens consort—and talking about which one Camilla may wear in the future.
In 1947, just before Princess Elizabeth announced her engagement to Prince Philip, the royal family embarked on a lengthy tour of southern Africa, visiting South Africa, Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), and Bechuanaland (Botswana).

Last week, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of the Belgians made an official visit to the Middle East, making stops in Oman and the United Arab Emirates. Today, I’ve got a rundown of the lovely jewels that Mathilde wore for the multi-day visit.
