from the DM
but pretty pictures even if we have seen them before

Diana was a fan of costume jewellery, like Kate

The Princess of Wales has come under fire for her modest taste. Yet she makes full use of royal jewels when the occasion is suitable - and is not the first royal to choose 'costume' sparklers.

a rumour is better than nothing (as nothing on the Bruce Springsteen fron t)
but im pretty sure royal tours do not happen close to a general election and ours in October

Plans for royal tour underway - when will they visit NZ?

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis likely to be included in upcoming tour.

catching up with the Spanish Queen from last week

On Monday, Queen Letizia of Spain received an audience representation of the SM group and winners of the 45th edition of the SM awards for children's and youth literature “El Barco de Vapor” and “Gran Angular” at the Zarzuela Palace. During the day, she voiced her political support for Ukraine with her choice of outfit, which was sourced from a Ukrainian fashion label, Etnodim.

Queen Letizia of Spain stunned in floor-length black dress as she attended the Atlantida Film Festival in Mallorca.

The Spanish royal presented the Master of Cinema award to the French-Swiss actress Irene Jacob
Not exactly silverwear

Can the King please go bracelet shopping (or ask his mum for some)

LIZ JONES: Don't ATTACK Kate Middleton for wearing modest jewellery

What's that mantra about glass houses and not throwing stones? Well, yesterday, the sound of shattering glass was deafening when Suzy Menkes, latterly of Vogue online, lobbed one at Kate.

www.dailymail.co.uk

i might feel this but im way too polite and loyal to ever say it out loud

Kate labelled a 'disappointment' by former Vogue editor

Suzy Menkes, 79, from Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, made the scathing comment about Kate Middleton, 41, on the latest episode of her podcast Creative Conversations.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Catherine is very appropriate with her jewels. She knows the right time to bust out the bling and when to be understated.

 

[LadyMaria]

Yes, I've been away for a while. It's been a massively busy summer with trips to see my parents and a school trip to Washington DC for my daughter. Now, I'm already back to school for the new year!

The other thing that kept me busy....studying you tube videos on making tiaras and trying my hand at it again. Here is the Lady Maria 2023 Tiara Collection...

...starting with a simple bandeau tiara...




Since my school mascot is the Pirate, I made a Pirate Tiara...






And last but not least, I found these pretty blue dangle rhinestones that needed a tiara home....

 

[AGBF]

Oh, very good, LadyMaria! I think you are getting better and better at making them although I still love some of your earliest pieces. Do you feel like posting your entire collection in one shot? (Maybe not when school is about to start. You said you were very busy, too. But that would be a lovely picture if you ever have the time.)

Good luck with the new school year!

nice shot of the King's signet ring at the takes part in the National Hedgelaying Championship at Tetbury, near his Highgrove home
this may be a file photo ??
but Hedgelaying is very interesting and another example of all the positives the King has done over his lifetime for the natural enviroment

Queen Elizabeth II's Jubilee and funeral prompts Royal merch boom

The figure was contained in the annual report of the Royal Collection Trust (RCT), the charity responsible for maintaining the artwork and furniture the King holds in trust for his heirs and the nation.

the King attends his first highland games since becoming monarch
At Mey

where is Queen Cam ?
doesn't she like men in kilts ?

 

[empliau]

I did love Princess Beatrice's wedding dress. It was a sweet gesture of Her late Majesty's to loan/give it (I'm unsure how these things work among the royals.) I love vintage fashion - my wedding dress was from 1929. Of course I was not the original wearer!
