Look who's back! Yes, it's the Queen Mother's grape brooch!

 

[SparklieBug]

I thought it's ears of wheat?

It probably is wheat. That makes more sense than a feather. It just looked like a feather at first glance. Either way, it’s lovely!

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

It's confirmed who the maker is

So do we think its a loaner ?
I kust imangine her licking out her outfit and looking at our poppy and just being aghast at the ugly stem and then rummaging through all her little soarkly bits and bobs till she found this one ... or remembered that Pippa had one that would be perfect
And it was absolutly perfect for the job at hand
well done Kate
and thank you Pippa

They will marry next month in the private chapel in Schloss Berleburg. Great news for them, but it's unlikely we'll see a big wedding with major jewels.

IT ARRIVED!!!!!

Oh she is lovely
and she arrived quite fast

i read the Queen gave her one to Charlotte
do you think she will be allowed to take it out of the packet?

Are we allowed to take yours out of the packet ?

It was all smiles and heirloom jewels at Princess Isabella of Denmark's Confirmation in Fredensborg Palace Church over the weekend!



The Princess of the day wore a lovely pearl, conch pearl and diamond brooch/pendant with long family history. It belonged to Queen Alexandrine, who gave it to her granddaughter Margrethe (II) as a christening gift. Many years later, the story was repeated when the Queen prevented the brooch to her granddaughter Isabella for her christening.


The proud mother debuted a pair of earrings with turquoise and diamonds. They are part of the legacy from the Duchess of Connaught and have been passed down in the family until The Queen decided to give them (and a large pendant brooch) to Crown Princess Mary for her 50th birthday.


Speakijgnof Granny Queen, she opted for some lovey sapphires, including an Edwardian brooch, which may have come from the Duchess of Connaught as well.



Aunt Marie and cousin Athena were also present at the joyous occasion. Princess Marie wore a modern diamond brooch with her delicate cluster pendant and earrings.

Nope. She stays in the box. If the prices on eBay are any indication, my children will be able to sell it one day to fund their retirement!

Isabella also had a cool modern toi-et-moi ring. Or are they two?

So off on a tanget ever so slightly
But Cam is a woman after my own heart

Camilla Has a Collection of Royal Jubilee Mugs

The Duchess of Cornwall loves commemorative mugs.

Im yet to see a picture of Princess Ann but her and Prince William were doing the awarding in the throne room (first time its been used for such since 1900 and something)
Im not sure how they choose the dates of the actual ceremony - but the governer general was doing the same thing here yesterday

Princess Isabella's conch pearl brooch

and the hand-written note from Queen Margrethe II


My translation:
To Isabella from Grandmother
Christening day 1st July 2007
This jewel was given to me on 14th May 1940 by my grandmother Queen Alexandrine

 

[prince.of.preslav]

The Danish royals have been active on the jewlery front these days! Queen Margrethe II hosted a formal dinner for the visiting Prime Minister of India. While the ladies didn't wear tiaras, they still had a few nice jewels for the occasion on display.


The Queen wore her wedding earrings and 4 row pearl necklace with amethyst clasp. She also pinned the sapphire cluster brooch at the center of her midnight blue gown.


Crown Princess Mary wore her modern chandelier earrings, first seen in Oslo in 2017.

Is there no wife of the Indian PM ?
An opportunity lost to wear some of her wedding day jewlery

 

[lucida818]

Wow! Crown Princess Mary looks like a goddess, so beautiful & elegant. I love her everything in this photo - the hairstyle, the dress, the chandelier earrings etc

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

So the big platinum jubilee weekend is getting closer
And (not wanting to bring controversy to the tread) im focusing on who is going to be on tbe balacony hopefully with HM
excuse my familiarity but im making a point of not writting Duke or Dutchess

Prince Charles and Cam
Princess Ann and Tim
Prince Edward and Sophie plus Louise and James
Prince William and Kate, George, Charlotte and Louie (my apologies young man if i spent you wrong)

And the Queen's cousins who are working royals
Princess Alexandra
Prince Richard and Birgitte
Prince Edward - i am really looking forward to his book

I will miss Prince Micheal but the Queen's rules are the Queen's rules

I did read today the Queen is going to include Bea and Eugenie in all the other jubliee weekend royal activities - (but its really just speculation from the gutter press)
Im sure we will see all the others at the races

Just a few shots from today's State Opening of Parliament. As many of you know already, the speech was read by the Prince of Wales, who stood in for his mother. The Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke of Cambridge were also in attendance.

Lovelly
Thank you

I can't quite work out Camila's expression
Her mouth looks smiliy in an almost cheeky sort of way but her eyes look sad

Did you purposely crop out Camila's smart watch ?

Im hoping she had her golden kiwi on
i enjoy the layered look on her wrist
I think she would have done very well with the layered looks typical of Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Kate wasn't at parliament because she spent the whole day in Manchester with the families of victims of the terrorist attacks
Prince William joined her for the opening of the menorial

Here is the article with some close ups
i dodnt like to post more because it is a menorial and Kate was crying

Prince William and Kate remember Manchester terror attack victims during emotional visit

The royals attended the opening of the memorial

HRH has a saphire pendent and very nice gold earings

yellow gold and lapis lazuli pendant necklace from Astley Clarke

I was so focused on her EC, I didn't even notice the smart watch!
Agreed - Cams would've given Queens Alexandra and Mary a run for their money in the jewelry stakes.

So...we've had scaled back Openings of Parliament for a couple of years now... when Charles becomes king do you think he will go back to the full splendor with crowns and robes?

I hope so
As a major tiara event like it used to be
Hopefully his first one as King anyway
