I hope everyone has enjoyed the first annual Royal Pricescope Ball - otherwise known as my fantasy parade of Royal bling.

Happy New Year to all!

DiaGem... actually that IS a serious question and I don''t think its anything to roll your eyes at. I didn''t know if he was celebrating with Jewish friends or if it was an English tradition to celebrate both Hanukah and Christmas as some religions do or if it was another reason. Thanks for your informative reply LadyA.

Queen Margrethe of Denmark arriving for the New Years Reception at the Amalienborg in Copenhagen. She is positively dripping in Royal Orders!

 

[LadyAmythyst69]

The white elephant is a symbol of the Danish Royal House. Mary received this order too when she married Frederik.

Mary and Frederik arriving for the reception. Mary is wearing her ruby parure.

Mary and Frederik. You can just see the necklace poking out underneath Mary''s cape.

The necklace she has on looks terribly uncomfortable!

I do not know if "Margrethe" has the same etymon as "Marguerite", "Margarita", "Margarida", and "Margherita", but all of the former mean "daisy" in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian.

Things have been a bit slow on the royal jewelry front. The royals generally take a long break after Christmas and are only now getting back into the "big jewelry events". Here is a recent shot of Princess Victoria of Sweden wearing a beautiful russian fringe style tiara, diamond and ruby brooch and the family order.

 

[LadyAmythyst69]

Victoria at the same event with her brother Prince Carl Philip.

A recent photo of Maxima of the Netherlands displaying her typical bold jewelry style.

Princess Maxima and her earrings again. I''m wondering if she was given them on her recent trip to Nepal?

 

[LadyAmythyst69]

Close up of Maxima''s earrings - although I''m sure you can see them from across a room!

Poor Mabel - apparently the wedding cake exploded all over her dress and she was fored to walk down the aisle in that confection. Eeeeeewwwwww!

I''ll never be able to figure out how she landed the best looking of the Orange brothers. Everyone thought he was a confirmed bachelor before this....

It would have been a very smart dress with out all those hideous bows! What a shame...you know the thing cost a fortune!

I like the fact that the ring is a historic family ring. Prince Charles is a bit obsessed with this aspect of his relationship with Camilla since she is the great grand-daughter of Alice Keppel who was the mistress of Edward VII. Prince Charles has been buying up any of Alicce Keppel''s jewels that come on the market in order to give them to Camilla.

Family or not, just the idea of comparing the Rottweiler with Miss Keppel is disgusting! Why oh why did Camilla have to get that rock???...and all the other jewels! *tears clothes,throws ashes*
