Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
The last weeks of March are packed with royal birthdays. Yesterday, Princess Eugenie celebrated her day, and in her honor, we’re taking a closer look at one of her recent bejeweled appearances at Cheltenham.
Last week, British royals flocked to Gloucestershire for the annual Cheltenham Festival. During her appearance at the races on Wednesday, Queen Camilla wore a pair of gorgeous pansy brooches that she’s treasured for decades.
