Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Our celebration of Queen Maxima’s 50th birthday continues all week long with closer looks at some of her most-worn royal jewels. Today, we’re shining a spotlight on the diamond and kunzite jewels from the Dutch royal vaults, which have become a particular favorite of the queen consort over the past decade.
On this day in 2008, the Queen’s eldest grandson, Peter Phillips, wed Autumn Kelly in a private family ceremony at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor. Sadly, after more than a decade together, Peter and Autumn are currently going their separate ways. But today, let’s take one more opportunity to look at the gorgeous royal jewels she wore on their wedding day.
Happy 50th Birthday to Queen Maxima of the Netherlands! Maxima, who is one of the best and most innovative royal jewelry wearers around today, is one of the lucky people with access to the enormous Dutch royal jewelry collection. Today, we’ve got a look at all of the tiaras she’s worn since she announced her royal engagement way back in 2001. (Spoiler: it’s a LOT of tiaras!)
