its a lovely photo, i hope she is starting to feel better,
sometimes the people who write the horrible comments in the online 'news' sites forget that Catherine's most important job is to grow a future king and two supportive siblings and by saying that i am in no way critizing Diana & Charles or Elizabeth & Philip

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

in honor of Prince Edward's birthday


i wonder where all those extra rings are now?- HRH was a mature successful working woman at her engagment, they might be quite nice

actually my favorite royal wedding

for Prince Edward's gap year in 1982 he did six onths in NZ including here in Wanganui as a house master at
Wanganui Collegiate which is a very posh boarding school here in town, most UK publications tend to forget about it and this article doesnt even say its in Wanganui
people who remember all say what a nice young man HRH was, always polite and friendly (even though you wernt ment to speak to him)

While his siblings have been hit by scandals and marriage break-ups, Prince Edward has quietly soldiered on with his duties, his faithful and popular wife Sophie by his side.

oh look he on the health stamp in 1973

health stamps used to fund the kids health stamps that used to cater to kids through illness or family situation needed a bit of fresh air and good food


our river is a gem !

ok so my favorite royal wedding but not my favorite royal wedding jewles
but there is a lot of love in that necklace, i kind of would like to see HRH wear it again but i kind of dont -perhaps on Lady Louise
and the tiara has been thankfully tweeked since

at the Trump state banquet, it reappaired after about ten years in the back of a drawer
i do think it is a gesture of love to wear the wedding tiara at someone else's wedding

July 2011​

For the religious wedding ceremony of Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco,


goodness me, it has been to some very important weddings





Sophie has had some great tiara occassions with all these weddings and that is just this one tiara

i think HRH may have worn the earrings recently but poor edward does not have his father's eye for design, these need pulled apart and reconfigured

storage box of the


sitting empty and forlournly in a London museum
(could we not have a wip around and buy some lab stones for Queen Vic)

Originally composed of a diamond circlet which featured alternate fleur-de-lis and cross pattée as well as detachable greek honeysuckle (anthemion) elements and the possibility to attach the legendary Koh-i-Noor Diamond, this Regal Circlet was originally created by Garrard in 1853 by remaking Queen Adelaide’s Diamond Circlet with the addition of diamonds from Queen Charlotte’s wedding stomacher and the Cumberland Diamond, though after the Hanoverian claim in 1858, when all the diamonds had to be returned, additional diamonds supplied by Garrard and redundant jewels were used to complete the Circlet by 1859, also featuring a large diamond from the Ottoman Sultan.

opps look what i found, on a school visit around the time of their first wedding anniversary
oh she must really love him

below and at the funeral of Princess Margret in 2002
there are a couple of other times but its nothing earth shattering



a definate improvement from the cat's ears,
i blame Diana and Fergie


i think it would have looked better with the lower central element being removed complety IMHO
perhaps it could have been a pendant on a necklace or just a spair part, perhaps in that museum with the empty circlet
it almost belongs in my fixed repairs thread as a repurpose, i love the idea, and Prince Edward loves history and it does seem it was Queen Victoria's but something went amiss in the exicution

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

i beleave its mothering Sunday in the UK

this next photo from NZ (not Australia like wrongly portrayed in the stupid netflex crown)

note Di's singlet ring

i dont know when the Spanish or the Greeks have mother's day but not forgetting this jewlery loving mum either

not forgetting grannies either





darling mummy

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

i almost had this' interesting' image on a plate
look how beautiful Margret rose is


it is a picture in the national portrait gallery London
my plate arrived broken after being very baddly packaged -like they just didnt care-and it only had to come across town
i kind of wish id kept it, as it may have been a good candiadte to try out that Kintsui thingy

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

im monday here, my day off, i should be you know cooking and cleaning but im thinking about Sophie's wedding necklace,
perhaps i would dismantle the cross and just make a nice white necklace and have a pair of studs made with the two Tahitains
but i think it would hurt Edward's feeling, but then their would be something for Jame's future wife as well as Louise
and pearls like to be worn and a classic pearl necklace would just be so useful on each and every royal engagment
this is the Queen Mum trout fishing in NZ

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

i wish this was in colour because check out HM's wrist

Replying to myself: fake photo...agencies claim that the picture was "manipulated".

i have been reading that too but some say all photos are some what manipulated these days and that this was a job that just needed a bit more attention to detail from whoever
of course i cant find that article now but im not making it up
but a few hours i read that and now when i google there are like 500 stories all feeding into the conspircaie theoriests (excuse terrible spelling)

i just think that maybe William is not as good at photography as his wife and they needed to clean it up a bit - but who ever did it, did it in a hurry and didnt do the best job
and as for no rings, perhaps HRH has lost weight and they need to be resized or she just doesn't wear jewlery at home

there was a time when all the glossy mags airbrushed all there photos sometimes to the exstreme so im not going to panic, Easter will be here near enough

photoshop fails are saddly not a one off
remember the 2023 xmas card and poor Louis was missing a finger

Photos of Queen Anna-Maria of Greece wearing her sapphire and diamond engagement ring. The first one was taken in 1968 and the second one a few days ago, at the Thanksgiving Service, held in honor of HM the late King Konstantinos of Greece, in London.
All her daughters in law also received sapphire and diamond engagement rings, which were custom made with sapphires that came from the Queen's personal collection.

Turns out Catherine manipulated the photo, sounds like she was playing around with it. I don't think the photo is fake, this article says William took the picture.
