Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Visitors to the Cartier exhibition running now at the V&A in London have the chance to marvel at a special pair of enormous sapphires, once owned by two very interesting royal sisters: Queen Marie of Romania and Grand Duchess Victoria Feodorovna of Russia.
On Friday, Queen Letizia of Spain attended the opening of the Madrid Book Fair, wearing a summery dress and pearls for the occasion.
Today, the Swedish royal family celebrates the birthday of Princess Désirée, the third of the four older sisters of King Carl XVI Gustaf. Although she married a commoner and lost her royal style as a result, Désirée has continued over the years to attend gala functions in Sweden, often wearing a petite diamond tiara with links to a fascinating royal lady from two generations earlier.
