Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Today at Windsor Castle, the Queen’s official 95th birthday celebrations will be held. The ceremony, known as Trooping the Colour, is a military performance and salute by one of the five Household Regiments (once called the “Brigade of Guards”). Like last year’s celebration, this one will be small and private, held within the quadrangle at Windsor. But to mark the moment, let’s have a look at the Queen’s jewelry during the event over the decades.
Today, our Sparkling Spotlight shines on one of the most iconic royal pearl moments of all: Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother’s famous White Wardrobe jewels from her visit to France in the summer of 1938.
I think it’s safe to say that the pearl has become the signature gem of the Duchess of Cornwall, don’t you? Today, our tribute to June’s birthstone in our Sparkling Spotlight continues with a look at an excellent pearly outing from Camilla back in 2009.
