Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Today marks the 100th birthday of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The late Duke passed away only a few months ago, and tributes to him have been extensive and have continued in the weeks since his death. But today, to celebrate his birthday, I thought we’d take another at one of the most sentimental jewels: the diamond bracelet he offered Queen Elizabeth II as a wedding present.
At the big Danish royal wedding in 2004, royals from around the world were on the guest list—even royals that no longer have thrones. Today, our pearly Sparkling Spotlight shines on Princess Marina of Savoy, the wife of one of the pretenders to the Italian throne.
Yesterday, the Queen brought out a royal brooch that we’ve only seen on rare occasions. Let’s have a closer look at the history of the Onslow Butterfly Brooch.
