Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World

Wearing gold and pearls, the Princess of Wales headed to Leeds on Tuesday for a visit to a textile mill with deep connections to her father’s family.

Last week’s state dinner at the Palace of Versailles brought us glamorous gowns and glittering jewels, but one thing was missing that irked a large number of royal watchers: a tiara! Let’s look more closely at the reasons why Queen Camilla likely chose not to wear a tiara, with a look back at the way that other royals have dressed for state banquets in France.

The British state visit to France wrapped up in Bordeaux today, and Queen Camilla offered us a final bejeweled treat: antique turquoises and diamonds!

The British state visit to France continued today with engagements in Paris—and a sartorial nod to one of the most famous royal visits from the past.

We may not have gotten a royal tiara at tonight’s British state dinner in France, but we did get to see an important set of royal sapphires come out of the vaults yet again!
