in the isle of man to confer city status on Douglas

The Queen read a message from the King

"The granting of your city status is particularly special to me, as your Letters Patent are the only ones in existence that hold both my signature and that of my late mother," the message read.

"Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, as you mark your well-deserved status as one of the newest cities in the British Isles, and the only one of the Crown Dependencies, I would like to offer on behalf of my wife and myself, my heartfelt congratulations and my very best wishes for the future."

You beat me to posting the photos of Sophie & Ann @Daisys and Diamonds. I knew you’d be happy with the big brooch.

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden unveiled a portrait of herself during a visit to the Asian University for Women in Bangladesh today.
The regal portrait will hang on the wall of the Asian University for Women in Chattogram - an independent institution that welcomes all students regardless of their background.

During the visit, the heir to the Swedish throne also chatted with the students and interacted with their work.

That's a very basic drawing of the cut steel tiara, I'm afraid. A nice picture all in all, but tiara has a lot of design that's lacking here.
 
With regard to the Albert Brooch, are you Team Vertical or Team Horizontal?

Team Horizontal for me personally.

The British Queen is visiting Northern Ireland today (see Daisys' post) and wore a right hand ring, an unusual sight. She also pinned her new (but likely antique) diamond and green enamel brooch.

that brooch is lovely -the court jewler has a close up
King Charles has inherited very good taste
the ring i did not notice - do we think its a present from Charles also ?

I don't think the rings come from Charles. They look like the type of jewels that may have been lingering in Camilla's safe for years. You'll notice that they are a stack of three - a simple ruby and diamond 3-stone ring, a cluster ring (sapphire or ruby?) and another band:

Tragic news: princess Catherine has cancer:cry2::cry2::cry2:

I hope it was caught early. It sounds like there was an issue that prompted the surgery and they originally didn't think it was cancer, but the biopsy showed there was cancer. Surgery probably took care of most of it and the chemo is just making sure every last cancer cell is destroyed.

Here's to a full and complete recovery for the Princess of Wales!
 
i post this here because Mr Edwards will have no doubt taken countess photos that those on this thread have enjoyed for many years
He seems a very nice man (despite working for The Sun) and the King has spoken kindly of him
this is a NZ article about who Arthur Edwards is
