Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
This summer, Christie’s will offer buyers a chance to own a special piece of one of the most sparkling events of the last century: the 1947 royal wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Lt. Philip Mountbatten. Today, we’ve got a closer look at the bridesmaid dress that belonged to one of the princess’s close childhood friends, Lady Elizabeth Lambart.
The last major sale of dresses from the collection of Diana, Princess of Wales was such a hit that Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills has decided to do it all over again. They’re offering several of Diana’s dresses in a sale that also includes other items of royal clothing and memorabilia next month in Los Angeles. Ahead of the sale, I’ve got an overview of the way that Diana paired these clothes with pieces from her jewelry collection.
I’m popping back in earlier than planned to share some more gorgeous preview images from this summer’s Royal Collection Trust exhibition at Buckingham Palace. The show traces the evolution of royal photography over the last century, and there are images of some gorgeous royal jewels included in the exhibition.
