Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Our Sparkling Spotlight on the spectacular spinel continues today with a look at an unusual tiara worn by a British duchess with major imperial history. Here’s more on the Bagration Tiara worn by Natalia, Duchess of Westminster.
The British royal family celebrates several birthdays each August: the Princess Royal, the Duchess of Sussex, Princess Beatrice of York, the Duke of Gloucester, and Lady Amelia Windsor. But one of the most famous royal August birthdays of all belonged to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, who was born on August 4, 1900. Today, we’re celebrating the Queen Mum’s birth month with a survey of her sparkling royal tiaras, worn during a remarkable life in which she held the titles of Duchess of York, Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom, and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
The Princess Royal has been happily married to Sir Tim Laurence for nearly 30 years, but before that, she was married to Captain Mark Phillips. Today, we’ve got a look back at the official portraits from their royal engagement back in 1973.
