Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Our look back at the jewels worn for the royal wedding celebrations of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands continues with two events held 20 years ago today: a pair of concert celebrations in Amsterdam.
We’re quickly approaching a very important royal milestone for Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. On Sunday, she’ll mark the 70th anniversary of her reign. This week, we’re looking back at all seven decades in a special, expanded Sparkling Spotlight series. Today, we begin with a tiara debut that took place shortly after her coronation.
Twenty years ago today, the eyes of the world were on Amsterdam. The Prince of Orange, heir to the throne of the Netherlands, was preparing to marry his Argentine fiancée, Máxima Zorreguieta Cerruti, in a lavish three-day celebration. We’re looking back at all three days of glittering events this week, beginning with a sparkling royal dinner at the Royal Palace on January 31.
We can’t let January go by without paying tribute to the glittering tiaras of a woman who celebrated a milestone birthday this month! To mark the recent 85th birthday of Princess Birgitta of Sweden and Hohenzollern, sister of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, we’ve got a look at some of the many tiaras she’s worn throughout her royal life.
