I doubt it as she is famously low key!

I doubt it as she is famously low key!

DK

Yes, but she always dresses appropriately for the occasion, sometimes even overdoing it a bit. If the Coronation is a tiara event, I strongly suspect Lady Sarah will wear her diamond floral tiara.

The coronation must be a tiara event! Looking forward to seeing all of the international royal tiaras and royal outfits!

I hope so too, and have bought one for the red, white and blue themed party that I shall be attending on the day!

No doubt it will be on BBC.

I am attending a national convention for the service charity that I belong to that weekend, and the agenda on Saturday will allow the attendees to watch the coronation live on TV in our red, white and blue party attire, woo hoo!

Can't wait!

Can't visualise the modifications yet, however, it would be great if Cullinan III, IV and V are to be incorporated into the crown!

ill say it again
stupid cyclone

Princess Anne landing in Wellington, changing plans due to Cyclone Gabrielle

Her Royal Highness will now travel to the National Crisis Management Centre at the Beehive to meet with staff from agencies involved in the cyclone response.

i think this is just a random file picture
but this is how to wear a necklace when you have a big old scratchy turttle neck on

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Princess Anne has visited the National Crisis Management Centre (NCMC) below the Beehive to see the work going on in responce to cyclone Grabrille which has caused widespread damage and displacement all over the nth island (it seems almost everywhere except here in Wanganui)
for those that dont know what the govt officers look like at our parliment - the bee hive (Because you cant beat Wellington on a good day)

and the dutiful Sir Tim is here too but all ive seen are his ears and his eyes

Awe, I’m going to miss the removed arches in Camilla’s crown. It’s all about symmetry and IMHO there will be too much velvet exposed. I do like the addition of some big diamonds from Queen Elizabeth‘s personal collection. Wonder if this is to avoid estate tax by using them in the crown owned by the monarchy and not the late Queen. Also wonder if the genuine ermine fur will stay or if faux fur will be used so anti- fur folks may be appeased.

personal property passes from monarch to monarch without inhertited tax i thought
like Queen Mary leaving lots of her bling to her granddaughter Queen Elizabeth 11

Apologies for the thread hi-jack.

As promised @Daisys and Diamonds, here’s a photo of my brooch.

I‘ve had it well over 30 years, so I *think* it was made shortly after the Duchess of Windsor died, and her fabulous jewels came up for auction. If I remember correctly, there were several ‘inspired by’ pieces that jewellers were selling at that time.

He’s in need of a good clean, but he has tiny ruby eyes, a diamond collar and sapphire spots, I named him Leopold



If anyone has Peacock (TV app), I imagine you’ll be able to watch the coronation on Sky News, that’s how we watched the QE2’s funeral.
