Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Last week, the King of Thailand’s daughter, Princess Sirivannavari, was honored in Paris for her contributions to the fashion industry—as an exhibition dedicated to her grandmother’s iconic wardrobe opened across the city.
Today in Thailand, the royal family is marking the birthday of the King’s mother, Queen Sirikit. In her honor, we’ve got a look back today at a sparkling appearance of one of her most enduring royal tiaras, from her late husband’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations back in 2006.
Queen Sirikit of Thailand marks her 91st birthday today. We’re celebrating with a look at one of her most sparkling royal tiara appearances, at a gala in the Netherlands six decades ago.
How’s this for a recipe for bejeweled splendor? A young, beautiful Queen Consort, a cache of sparkling jewels, a custom-made couture wardrobe, and a six-month world tour—all the ingredients for timeless royal elegance came together as Queen Sirikit of Thailand (who celebrates her 90th birthday today!) traveled across the globe in style in 1960.
