Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Queen Camilla celebrated the second anniversary of her coronation on Tuesday with visits to the National Gallery and the Tower of London, unveiling portraits and planting ceramic poppies while wearing a special antique brooch.
Today in London, the British royal family began a week-long commemoration of the 80th anniversary of VE Day, honoring veterans with a military procession, fly past, and tea party at Buckingham Palace.
Today over at Hidden Gems, I shared the first article in a multi-part series travel diary about my recent jewelry-focused trip to London. The article covers my experience seeing Cartier, the new exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum. As a bonus today, I’ve got a roundup of earlier articles about several of the royal and noble tiaras featured in the exhibition. Enjoy!
Yesterday, a pair of royal couples gathered at Windsor for a great royal tradition—a ceremonial tree planting—that celebrated a coronation anniversary and remembered shared family members of the past.
We recently learned that the President of France will be making a state visit to the United Kingdom at the end of May. Few details about the visit, including the precise date, have been made public, but we can expect that the program will include official welcome ceremonies and a state banquet. With that in mind, I’ve got a survey today of some of the French-made jewels in the royal vaults, should Queen Camilla and Princess Catherine need any suggestions for pieces to wear!
