Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Last week, the King and Queen of the Belgians headed to Bruges for an event connected to the late King Baudouin, and Queen Mathilde wore sentimental earrings from the late Queen Fabiola’s collection for the occasion.
Sotheby’s announced this week that they’ll soon be auctioning off a remarkable diamond necklace from the Georgian period–and they’ve hinted that there are possible connections to the doomed French queen, Marie Antoinette, and the famous Affair of the Diamond Necklace.
Today, the eldest daughter of the last King and Queen of Italy celebrates a major milestone: her 90th birthday. We’re joining in the celebrations of Princess Maria Pia of Savoy’s birthday today with a look at a special jewel from her past: the diamond tiara that she wore on her wedding day in 1955.
This weekend, we were treated to another glimpse of the Princess of Wales glowing in a favorite pair of earrings–that she’s owned for more than a decade!–as she attended a church service near Balmoral.
This Saturday, we’ll finally get a glimpse of a royal bride we’ve been waiting to see for several years. Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark will marry her American fiancé in Athens, and to begin the celebrations, we’ve got a look today at the royal tiaras she’s worn in public so far–and the one I think she may wear this weekend on her wedding day.
