Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Today in 1997, Queen Elizabeth II attended a state banquet during one of the most challenging diplomatic trips of her reign, wearing bejeweled mementos from her beloved father and grandmother during the dinner.
Today at Hidden Gems, I wrote the second in a series of articles on the last will and testament of Grand Duchess Augusta of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and the jewels that she bequeathed (and didn’t) to her niece, Queen Mary. As a bonus here today, I’ve got an interesting selection of my earlier articles showcasing just a fraction of Mary’s incredible jewelry collection. Enjoy!
Queen Camilla headed to Westminster Abbey to tour a special new project on Thursday, and she wore a gorgeous little brooch for the visit.
