Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
A decade ago, a royal wedding was held in Germany that united members of the Houses of Hohenzollern and Isenburg. Today, we’ve got a closer look at the gown and jewels worn by Princess Sophie for the ceremony.
One hundred years ago today, the streets of London were filled with well-wishers who had gathered to catch a glimpse of a royal bride. Princess Mary, the only daughter of King George V and Queen Mary of the United Kingdom, married Viscount Lascelles in a glittering ceremony at Westminster Abbey, one of the first major royal weddings held after the end of World War I. Today, to celebrate the centenary of the event, we’ve got a closer look at the wedding day—plus some of the magnificent bejeweled gifts that the royal bride received.
This week, our Sparkling Spotlight posts pay tribute to five of the royal ladies celebrating birthdays in February. First up: Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, and a lovely appearance from the second setting of her wedding tiara.
