Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Last week, the anniversary of an important link between Sweden and Denmark was celebrated by both royal families, with Queen Silvia and Queen Mary wearing elegant jewels for the occasion.
Tomorrow marks the anniversary of one of the most consequential royal weddings of the last two centuries: the nuptials of the Duke of York (later King George V) and Princess May of Teck. As bonus reading today, I’ve got a selection of articles about the weddings of the children of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra: an aristocratic marriage, the marriage of a future monarch, and the wedding of a man who had no clue he’d eventually be a king.
Today, the Queen of Norway celebrates her birthday. To mark the occasion, I’ve got a fascinating survey of the tiaras that she has worn since marrying into the royal family in the 1960s, from the grandest diadems to petite jewels and modern tiaras.
