Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
An impressive assemblage of royals gathered in Athens earlier this month to celebrate the life of the last King of Greece. Today, we’ve got a look at the royal jewels worn for the funeral of King Constantine II.
Over the next few weeks, as royals gather for the gala celebrations of the Golden Jubilee of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, we’re going to be revisiting some of the most sparkling tiaras in the Danish royal family’s collections. Today, on Queen Anne-Marie’s birthday, we begin with her first major Danish royal jewel, the Antique Corsage Tiara.
On Saturday in Athens, a descendant of the former Greek royal family was married in the city’s Metropolitan Cathedral for the first time since the end of the monarchy. Today, I’m bringing you all the royal jewels worn at the wedding of Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark and Nina Flohr.
Today in Athens, the world will witness something it hasn’t seen in quite a while: the wedding of a member of Greek’s former royal family, taking place in the city’s Metropolitan Cathedral. Ahead of today’s festivities, I’ve got a look at some royal wedding jewels worn over the years by members of the family. (This isn’t a comprehensive list, but rather a survey of a range of jewels.) Fingers crossed we get to add another tiara to the list today!
Our retrospective of the jewels and history of Greece’s royal weddings continues today with the 1964 nuptials of the country’s last king, Constantine II, and his Danish-born wife, Princess Anne-Marie.
