Another Orleans Braganca tiara.
It has been a wedding gift to Princess D. Maria Amelia of Portugal. There was a matching necklace also. The tiara is now the property of HRH The Duke of Braganca. Here it is worn by his wife Dona Isabel on her wedding day in 1995:

Camilla wore a beautiful purple outfit and a pair of flower brooches:


Is Camilla's dress put together with staples? This look terrible.

I always read your postings, Danny.  I had to go looking for the picture of Camilla to which you were referring!  Of course it turned out that I had already seen it and just not noticed that the buttons looked like staples (you are much more observant than I am).   I had to comment on your having sent me scurrying back through the thread, though!  You add a lot of joie de vivre to Pricescope!

Hugs,

Hi Danny,

Do you really think Camilla's dress looks terrible? I think it's a nice one (beautiful is much stronger, I know) and it suits her well. I know it looks a bit strange that it's put together with staples, but terrible I think it's not.
Also - would you still find it terrible if she wore simple buttons instead of those staples?

Hi, Laurens!

I've posted a couple of pictures when we were discuding Camilla's jewels, but I don't remember the number of the page.

Here is a picture of The Ruby Breastplate, that hasn't been posted before:

Hi Bobby,

Yes, I really do, but I think small buttons would be fine. Thank you for posting the picture.

I hope I didn't come across as not enjoying the picture. I enjoy everything you post.

Yes I would love to see the jewels camilla is wearing.  even though she is not my favorite royal, i am curious about the pieces,the history behind them or if they are new pieces added to the collection.

Hi Danny,

It's nice to hear that you enjoy my posts. I also enjoy yours, but in recent times you haven't posted much here.
One last think I'd like to say about the purple dress - At first I didn't even notice the strange buttons/staples. In fact I saw them just after your remark.

Here you go:

Day one - Queen Elizabeth(Later Queen EII)'s Maple Leaf Brooch. It was given to QEQM in 1939 during a visit to Canada. Her daughter, Princess Elizabeth, has worn it during her 1951 tour of Canada.

From The Royal Collection - Queen & Commonwealth >Gifts > Maple leaf brooch

3th November - diamond and cabochon sapphire brooch, possibly a diamond jubilee gift to Queen Victoria.

There is a worth seing discusion about the piece on RJWMB. There is also a nice close up of the brooch.

When earlier I said that Camilla wore the Maple leaf brooch during day one I lied a little. The brooch was worn indeed, but the picture is from another occasion (also in Canada).

I reccomaned to all of you to visit The Royal Channel on YouTube, where you can see some very nice fotage from the visit to Canada and a glittering video from the Gala dinner for The President of India.

Here is a photo from the Welcoming ceremony (Day one)

A while back there was a discussion about the Russian Tsarist Jewels. I found this quite beautiful picture of the last Tsaritsa, Alexandra, nee Alix of Hesse, covered in diamonds and pearls.
I especially like the choker.

WOW....such a beautiful lady!!!

Hi Laurensmama,

The House of Grimaldi doesn't have/own the jewels from the collection of The House of Hanver. These jewels are used by Princess Caroline as the wife of HRH The Prince of Hanover, Ernest August V, thus Titular Queen Consort of Hanover.

Since their marriage I've been able to find photos of two tiaras from the Hanoverian collection, that have adorned The Princess' head - The Brunswick Tiara and a floral motif tiara.



Here is a photo of Princess Caroline wearing The Brunswick Tiara and her garndmother's sapphires at the Danish wedding in 2008, I think:

And the spray brooch and the royal flesh:
BTW this brooch was worn at Monaco's National day a few years ago. I'll try to find a picture.

That's all I have. Hopefully someone else can help too.

thank you for the photos.  i do realize that caroline only wears these because she is married to ernst, prince of hanover and if they were to separate or divorce she would no longer be entitled to wear them.  i was curious tho since so little has been shown for the house of grimaldi or the house of hanover.  if anyone has any more information or photos especially the floral tiara (it is very pretty) i would appreciate it.

You're welcome, laurensmama!
I know that you know, but the question didn't sound corect to me hence my remark.

So, lets pray that they'll never separate or divorce and Caroline will continue shining it these (and more) splendit jewels:)

I'm almost 100% sure that Ernest August V's first wife is wearing the floral tiara HERÅ.
And
here you can see Princess Caroline wearing Das Blüten Diadem/ The Flower tiara.
Ther is information about the jewels and if someone knows german it'd be very much appriciated if s/he translates the article and post here.

Thanks in advance,

Bobby

Who said there won't be a tiara event:D Even if it's not a dazzling tiara, but a Coast Salish First Nation cedar headband, we can count it in the list of headgears worn by The Duchess of Cornwall. HRH also wore the pink topaz and pearl choker:
