I can't claim to be a fan of this style of hat.

The Princess is under no obligation to announce the type of cancer she has, that is a private matter. KP have been clear that she will return to public duties when she is ready. That will be, when she is ready. No point speculating when that might be. These things take time, the recovery is...

Indeed. Some pieces from there have been highlighted upthread.

Lovely! Works really well for the qQueen.

That is correct, Beatrix never used it but Max did. The white ensemble is a good base to try something like this on.

Good to see the antique turquoise sautoir is back out, Maxima has used it once before if I am not mistaken.

You are right, I suspect Theodora will wear the Khedieve at her wedding.

I think it should go further than that. This is criminal damage, and as a deterrent, they probably need to either be incarcerated or be made to do community service for an extended period of time.

Glenn Spiro does very interesting jewellery, and I have no doubt Maxima will enjoy wearing that ring.

I concur. She is not a big wearer or purchaser of jewellery. However, the necklace would compliment her Floral tiara very well, IMO.

Many interesting points. > If there is a tax angle, then monarch to monarch transfers (if tax free) or ownership through a trust may be the solution. > Pricing at places like Bonhams is never very high as the market for tiaras and brooches is really very limited. This leads to exceptional...
