Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Today in York, King Charles III and Queen Camilla attended the first Royal Maundy service of his reign, and Camilla brought along a piece of jewelry linked to the late Queen Mother.
With the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla only five weeks away, it’s time to begin a series on the fabulous jewels worn by Britain’s kings and queens at their coronations. We begin today with Queen Victoria, whose coronation jewels included a scaled-down crown and a too-small ring.
Not an April Fool’s joke, sadly—there are stirrings that the Princess of Wales will not wear a tiara for the upcoming coronation, breaking long-standing tradition.
