Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge continued their Platinum Jubilee tour of the Caribbean this week with a visit to Jamaica, and Kate wore emeralds from the Queen for the first time! Here’s a look at all the jewelry she wore during the Jamaican leg of the trip.
On this date in 1953, Queen Mary of the United Kingdom passed away at Marlborough House in London. She had lived through a remarkable six royal reigns—Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, King George V, King Edward VIII, King George VI, and Queen Elizabeth II—and significantly helped to shape the modern monarchy. She also left behind a major collection of royal jewels, most of which ended up with her granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth II. Today, we’re looking at five tiaras worn by the Queen that come from Queen Mary’s collection.
