More of Lady Ogilvy!

July 1974

2010 in Toronto

2017 visit to Shropshire

Recent visit to St Christopher’s Hospice in Sydenham

Don't know the date of this one but...wow!

I believe there is a strong resemblance with Princess Royal as in Princess Anne, probably the hairstyle alone!

I miss seeing royal blings, and am saddened that the blog on royal jewellery is having a hiatus.

"Celebrity" blings are fine, however, I miss seeing the tiaras and the very big crown-owned pieces!

i do love a sparkly bandeau

I am thinking that it might be an actual tiara worn as a bandeau...! Classy bridal photo not matter what, JMO.

It was in fashion to wear certain types of tiaras as bandeaus low on the forehead in the 1920s/30s or something like that.

I would totally rock that look in 2020!

She married in 2016?

It was sold by Christies later.

She received a tiara for throwing a bottle of champagne against a new boat/ship/whatever many years ago, and it is a lovely one too!

très chic...

Chic in excelsis, Princess Alexandra’s glamorous life

Lady Ogilvy, the Queen’s first cousin and accomplice, was as chic as royals came in her heyday, frequenting plentiful film premieres and dazzling parties

A very classy lady and true to her mother's style, Princess Alexandra remains one of my favourites from her generation. And she has some nice pieces that make it even more interesting to follow her activities to this day. It's always a pleasure to see her out and about.

Alexandra is a great mix of Queen Charlotte's genes that keep manifesting through Queen Mary's female descendants and those of Princess Marina. For example, she definitely looks like Elizabeth II and Princess Anne, but also has Marina's charmingly mysterious smile.

do i have to bring my washing in before i look at those pictures ?
i read in the news before the Thai king is visiting his mother in the hospital for her birthday and all the washing hung out in the surrounding area must not be out for the king to see

i find it fascinating how all those family trees are so entwined and how you can see how they look like each other
i have a poster of he European royal family trees but its just through the male line

@prince.of.preslav, i thought the choker was a light emerald! Must be the lighting.

prince.of.preslav · Aug 14, 2020

@Rad_Fan , the light and intricate gold settings can give the stone a greenish appearance, but it's got a beautiful blue colour. In fact, this stone is one of the reasons why I'm fascinated with aquamarines.

Thank you for posting these. They were taken this February on the Gatcombe Estate.
I had hoped for a more bejeweled portrait, like in previous years, but these are lovely too. I wonder just how old the white gown is...? It's flattering nonetheless.

By the way, there is a third photograph of Anne in a lumberjack shirt standing in front of a huge tree. No jewels, but maybe the most Anne photograph of the three.

Yep, skipping it.
