The Dutchess of Gloucester with Princess Micheal and Prince Richard Duke of Gloucester

Prince Micheal looking like an elderly King George V but loving that wastecoat
Its kinda breaking my heart seeing the Kent cousins getting old

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Would have been polite to put the PoW and Cam first i surpose
That's Peter Philips in the carrage facing them

With Sophie Wessex

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Sophie and Charles

Mrs Middleton
(Kate's Dad is somewhere ?)

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Princess Ann

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

No sign of HM
hope she might turn up for ladies day ? I guess it's hard getting in and out of a carrage
Im sure i saw this thing last year ? Where the press can't see them getting into the carrages

Anyway the Queen's racing manager - the Mrs has nice pearls

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Looking forward to tomorrow already

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

From Sunday and Garter day
overload
Because this is a huge honour for Cam
I don't think any heir's wife has ever been given it until they were Queen
I can't find any pictures of Tom or Laura but im sure they were there
So i included Tony Blair's family to make up for it
See the Queen did like him after all

Poor old Queenie does look frail here even i have to admit it
i hope she is drinking lots of milk

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

All those badges and gold chains and other offical insignia on the blokes certainly count as jewlery for me and the 'rules' of this thread
Lets get the Blair's out of the way
Not getting political but Tony walked beside a very big burley solider for protection durring the parade
I hadn't Cherrie Blair for a long long time. I read the family are all doing very well for them selves with little Leo in university

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

A focus on the support acts
Sorry im all over the place
Kate wearing her Tanzanite , Sophie with a brooch

Charles & Camilla, Wills and Kate rode together - the real fab 4 !

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Princess Ann is a knight companion of the Garter not a lady companign of the Garter so she can be the same as her brothers
Well no - actually we totally get that Ann
Oh boy my spelling is dreadful
I hope im not getting too much mixed up
I can't help but think that blue hat might belong to the Dutchess of Gloucester ?
Its hard getting pictures of the Queen's cousins and Prince Richard Duke of Gloucester, Prince Edward Duke of Kent and his sister Princess Alexandra are all members of the order

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Not to forget (2nd from bottom) Dame Valerie Amos who did read the memo - please wear pretty jewlery for the peeps at home

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Incase we were wondering why Wills and Kate wern't having fun at the races with the family they had something more important to do
The 5 year anniversary of the Grenfelll tower block fire
I wont post a photo but here is a link to the story

I might be in the minority (based on comments online), but I actually like the ring. Maybe not the ideal ering, but still a nice enough design. One think I would've changed is the (rose?) gold setting to platinum/wg for the diamond part and less metal, more cluster-like design.

I appreciate the effort of trying to create an unique engagement ring, but the result is not my taste...I totally agree with you about the suggestions.

Yes, Tom and Laura (Mrs. Harry Lopes) were there supporting their mother. Laura wore Art Deco fringe earrings and a Garter blue dress.

I totally missed that brooch on Sophie

That necklace is intriguing
Is it from Queen Mary?
Im sure Queen Mary would be happy her granddaughter in law loves to wear jewlery

Yes, the necklace comes from Queen Mary. Originally it was a larger piece in the Indian style and was a wedding present to Queen Alexandra.

Tiara news from Norway!
New portraits of Princess Ingrid-Alexandra have been released prior to a gala dinner tonight celebrating her 18th birthday.
The Princess is wearing an heirloom tiara dating back to 1900 when her great-great-grandfather bought it in Paris for his wife, Princess Ingeborg. The pearls are later addictions.



More photos and background information on the tiara, including comments from Princess Astrid can be found here - https://www.kongehuset.no/nyhet.html?tid=212476&sek=26939

That looks an appropriate and useful tiara for a young heir
And its pretty
and it has pearls

 

[DutchJackie]

Anyone who knows more about the tiara the Duchess of Brabant was wearing?

 

[KaeKae]

May I ask a question about tiaras?
My understanding is that a tiara isn't worn until a woman's wedding day. Is that strictly a British tradition, or is it different for those born into royalty verses those who marry a royal?

I like it too but I would have removed the top and bottom excess gold parts kind of like you said.

It used to be the rule, but is now only observed by the Windsors. The Swedish King's sisters started wearing tiaras around their 18th birthdays and got their own as wedding gifts. Queen Ingrid and King Frederik gave each of their daughters a tiara for their 18th birthdays and they started wearing them immediately (Anne Marie married shortly after her majority, so she combined both rules). Now everybody wears tiaras past 18.

i think this rule was concocted by the press on a slow news day

aided in that we have a generation where the heir to the throne has no daughters and tiara events in GB become few and far between

Princess Margete wore one before she was married and im sure Ann did but the British gutter press are so volatile these days, i think the BRF are choosing to be very careful about showing wealth, even as (some) the celebrities of the day often flaunt it in a grotesque way


i don't really get the 18th birthday thing
my family and friends had big 21st
perhaps its different in Europe ?

however im all for more tiaras !!! especially on future soverigns
(Princess Estelle was gorgouse as was the wee boy, Prince Charles )

 

[LadyMaria]

If you don't look at the Court Jeweller website, do it now!! She has amazing coverage of the 18th birthday gala for Ingrid Alexandra! TIARAS GALORE!!!

Spoiler: it appears there is a new tiara in the Belgian Royal Family...

Spoiler: there was not one but THREE young ladies wearing tiaras for the first time

Spoiler: A Greek Big Gun made an appearance!
