Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
In May 2004, the people of Madrid celebrated something they hadn’t seen in almost a century: a royal wedding. The Prince of Asturias, now King Felipe VI of Spain, married his Spanish-born fiancee, Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano, in a grand ceremony in the city’s Almeduna Cathedral. Today, we’ve got a look at the astonishing gown and jewels worn by Letizia for the big moment.
This week, Queen Letizia of Spain celebrates her 49th birthday. To mark the occasion, we’re devoting this week’s Sparkling Spotlight to some of her most glamorous royal gala appearances. We’re kicking things off with one of her very first gala events, way back in spring 2004.
This week, the royal family of Sweden welcomed the President and First Lady of Germany to Stockholm for a state visit. And that, of course, means state banquet tiaras! Here’s a look at all the jewels from the first day of the German state visit to Sweden.
