On Thursday, the King and Queen of the Belgians headed to London to take part in a traditional royal event at the Royal Hospital Chelsea: the Founder’s Day Parade.

While many of the world’s royals were celebrating in Jordan on Thursday, Queen Mathilde of the Belgians was in Brussels attending an important music competition. Here’s a look at the diamonds she wore for two appearances at the finals of this year’s Queen Elisabeth Voice Competition.

Seventy years ago this month, a future sovereign married a beautiful princess in a glamorous celebration that featured not one but two dazzling diamond wedding tiaras. But the royal wedding also came with a fair amount of drama, thanks to the complicated family of the princess bride.

Queen Mathilde celebrated the legacy of Egyptology in Belgium last week, wearing an outfit and jewelry that recalled depictions of the ancient world.

The King and Queen of the Belgians embarked on a state visit to South Africa at the end of last week, and Mathilde wore a lovely pair of diamond earrings for Thursday’s state dinner.
