    Queen Mary of Denmark Jewels 1: 14 Jan 2024 -

    I absolutely love the new tiara, more than the Dutch one. Love the big stones and that all of them are really big, without that rapid graduation in size. These are rose-cuts, not brilliants, and they have a closed setting. If the diamonds were brilliants and were set differently, then it would...

    The Spanish Royal Family and the October Flooding in Spain

    We all feel very sorry for you, but since this is a royal forum, could you please provide a detailed explanation to us from outside of Spain as to why is all this Felipe and Letizia's fault? From your response, I would conclude that both of them are also elected members of the Government? What...

    Princess of Wales Undergoing Cancer Treatment

    I've been in William's shoes 4 years ago, so I know very well how he felt. It took me DAYS before I could speak to someone without a tremor in my voice. And I didn't have to face cameras and the world media. William takes his position seriously and I don't believe for 1 second that he would pull...

    Princess of Wales Undergoing Cancer Treatment

    Now we know why William didn't attend. I hope that all those out there telling how William should be ashamed of himself are now ashamed of themselves.

    King Willem-Alexander Current Events 4: Aug 2023 -

    It's probably just me, but I don't find that funny at all. And I don't think the Princess of Wales would too - being mocked by a king of a nearby country.

    General News for the Wales Family 1: September 2022-March 2024

    One of the leaders of all those speculations is the Daily Mail. And if you take a better look, you can notice that they thrive on royal „scandals“ and criticism at such a degree that if at some point there aren't any, DM creates them. And the sad thing is that when they start about something...

    Questions about British Styles and Titles 3: Aug 2023 -

    Please correct me if I got it all wrong. Those women are not princesses in their own right, but princesses by marriage. Diana was never Princess Diana (even though most people called her that, even Prince Philip) - she was HRH The Princess Charles, Princess of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, etc...

    Celebratory events following the Accession of King Frederik X: January 2024 -

    I noticed Australian wattle in the floral decorations, that's really lovely.

    Prince Christian's 18th birthday, October 15, 2023

    Are Count Ingolf and Countess Susie also there?

    The Princess of Wales Jewels 1: September 2022 - January 2025

    This headpiece looks lovely from the side, but the central part is too pointy and upright for my taste. Since it's not a tiara, I think it would look much better if it lay on the head more (like a real floral wreath would), like Sophie's headpiece did. From the point of sustainability, as...

    The Princess of Wales Jewels 1: September 2022 - January 2025

    I'm not sure yet whether I like it or not. From some angles it looks incredible. From another not so much. Regarding the wardrobe and jewels, they went for simplicity. I do understand the rationale behind it. But why not tiaras for working royal ladies? Wouldn't Kate look lovely in her wedding...

    The Princess of Wales Jewels 1: September 2022 - January 2025

    According to DM she's wearing the George VI festoon diamond necklace. Is it true or just another false news by this tabloid?

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 7: Oct. 2022 - Apr. 2023

    Well, a book named Mein kampf by a certain A. H. has been a bestseller for many years and not because he's beloved and popular. It's only because people are curious about everyone famous, good or bad. And the juicier the contents is, the better it sells. Harry and Meghan will always have a very...

    Edinburgh and Wessex Titles

    In my opinion it wasn't like that at all. I believe that Charles was perfectly willing to give Edward the dukedom. But Edward and Sophie wanted to wait just a bit and not receive it immediately after the Queen's passing. Both Edward and Sophie were very close to the Queen and Prince Philip...

    The Future of the Danish Monarchy

    Agree. The Dutch monarch abdicating is now a tradition. Denmark is different. If Margrethe were to abdicate, all that obligations would be on Frederik and Mary's back. Remember, they have 4 children and I'm sure they appreciate all the time they can spend with them. And I'm sure Margrethe is...

    Queen Elizabeth II Jewels 3: January 2016

    Update from the fabulous Vincent Meylan instagram account: The double clip brooch was bought by Prince George, the Duke of Kent who died in the meantime. Later on, in 1944 the brooch was given by the Duchess of Kent, Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and Earl and Countess of Harewood to Princess...

    Tiara and Jewels guessing for King Charles Coronation

    I'm not convinced that Tatiana asked the Queen to loan her one of her tiaras. I didn't get the impression that they were so very close. I see 2 options here. Either there is a very similar tiara created around the same time as the Strathmore Rose tiara and by the same jeweller. Situations like...

    "Spare" memoir by the Duke of Sussex (2023)

    Most people are buying the book out of curiosity, not because they are H&M fans like you are. I happen to be a passionate buyer of novels, in the past 15 years or so I have bought over 2000 books. And yet, for more than half of those now that I read them I think they weren't worth the money nor...

    Queen Elizabeth II Jewels 3: January 2016

    Vincent Meylan just published a lovely post on his instagram account about the latest Boucheron high jewelry collection that is inspired by their art deco jewels. It is stated that QEII's famous aquamarine double clip brooch was in fact purchased by the late Duke of Kent and that 2 years after...

    Counts Nikolai, Felix, Henrik & Countess Athena, News Part 1: 2023 -

    Personally, I think those comments were deliberately posted by Shackenborg fans just to publicly humiliate the Queen. I have to admit I was hoping that this saga was finally over...

    Charles III: Coronation Information and Musings - Part 1

    And that's not good in this case either. Because that means that royals who don't represent the Monarch(y) i.e. Harry and Meghan should be on the balcony, while those who still are representing it and have been doing it for decades (Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Duke of Kent, Princess...

    "Spare" memoir by the Duke of Sussex (2023)

    That was the first thing that shocked me about them. They made such a mystery of Archie's arrival (even though everyone knows when you act like that, you end up attracting even more attention). And then they had a photographer ready to take photos of Harry's grandparents meeting little Archie...

    Funeral of King Constantine - January 16, 2023

    So true. IMO she is one of several royal ladies who do so (one of the others for example Princess Alexandra of Kent)

    "Spare" memoir by the Duke of Sussex (2023)

    And that way I think all of this started. I think that Diana and Charles wanted their newborn second son to always know that for them he is equal to his older brother and not a spare, so they indulged him and never said no, while William had boundaries and certain expectations. Harry's jealousy...
