Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
All week, we’ve been looking at some of the tiaras that the young Princesses of the Netherlands have worn over the years. Today, we’ve got a sparkling early tiara appearance from Princess Margriet—complete with a surprise guest from another royal family!
Even after losing their thrones, exiled royals from around the world have made extraordinary efforts to maintain family ties. From charitable ventures to genealogical organizations, they use these connections to hold on to something of the past. Last week in Paris, a group of descendants of these former royals and nobles gathered for a dinner—complete with sparkling jewels.
We’re surveying tiaras worn by Dutch princesses this week, and there’s one we can’t fail to highlight: the Ruby Peacock Tiara, worn early and often in the 1950s by Princess Irene of the Netherlands.
