Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
While we wait for tonight’s Golden Jubilee gala in Sweden, we’ve got another royal event to discuss: the King and Queen of the Belgians meeting with the Pope at the Vatican this morning.
Today, Queen Paola of Belgium celebrates her 86th birthday. In her honor, we’re rewinding the clock two decades to look at one of her glamorous gala tiara appearances.
On this date, 126 years ago, a Swedish prince married a Danish princess in Copenhagen—and began a dazzling family with a bejeweled legacy that extends today to Norway, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Today, we’re talking about the glittering tiaras of one of the most important Scandinavian royal matriarchs of her time, Princess Ingeborg.
