King Felipe VI, Queen Letizia, the Princess of Asturias, and Infanta Sofia were all on hand in Madrid for the annual celebration.

The entire family attended the annual military parade in Madrid.

Leonor, who is next in line to become Spain’s monarch, wore pale pink for the occasion. She turns fourteen in two weeks. Her younger sister, twelve-year-old Sofia, wore light blue.

After the parade, King Felipe and Queen Letizia headed inside the Royal Palace in Madrid for a reception.

Felipe changed out of his uniform into a business suit for the reception, but Letizia wore the same pale pink dress and accessories for both events.

With her butterfly-festooned dress, she wore a pair of large button earrings. The pair features a smooth, pale pink stone set in a double cluster of diamonds.

Letizia has worn the earrings on previous occasions. One notable outing came in February 2017, when she wore them for an official luncheon at Zarzuela Palace with the President and First Lady of Argentina.

The earrings were also previously worn by Letizia’s mother-in-law, Queen Sofia. In the photo above, she wears the earrings during the 2008 state visit to Japan.

Letizia’s other major accessory for National Day was her golden ring, which she’s been wearing quite regularly on her left hand.

The people of Luxembourg celebrated their national holiday this weekend, and the grand ducal family wore loads of jewels for the occasion!

On Saturday, Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie kicked off the festivities with a visit to Esch-sur-Alzette.

Stephanie wore sunny yellow and gold for the visit.

Her golden earrings featured double leaf-shaped pendants.

And on her right hand, too.

In the evening, a larger contingent of the grand ducal family — Grand Duke Henri, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, HGD Guillaume, HGD Stephanie, Prince Felix, Prince Louis, Princess Alexandra, and Prince Sebastien — gathered for more celebrations.

Maria Teresa wore a long embroidered coat over a black top and pants for the occasion.

On her left ear, Maria Teresa wore a long gold earring featuring multiple hoops and a line pendant…

…and on her right ear, a much simpler gold earring with a small pendant.

We also got a good look at her rings during the evening event.

On Sunday, Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa were joined by HGD Guillaume, HGD Stephanie, Prince Felix, Prince Louis, Princess Alexandra, and Prince Sebastien for a Te Deum mass at Luxembourg’s cathedral, followed by a concert. The ladies wore hats for the thanksgiving mass…

…which they removed for the concert.

Grand Duchess Maria Teresa also changed her earrings when she swapped out her headgear. For the mass, she wore small drop earrings.

At the military parade later in the day, you’ll note that she wore a major pair of gold statement earrings. Intriguingly, like her earrings the previous evening, these were also a deliberately mismatched pair, with a disc on one side…

…and a large diamond shape on the other.

Stephanie also changed her jewelry following the mass. For the service, she wore small pearl drop earrings…

…swapping them out for more elaborate dangles later in the day.

Princess Alexandra wore classic pearls with her ensemble for the daytime events.

Tiaras were worn for the reception later in the evening at the Grand Ducal Palace.

Maria Teresa reached for the same tiara that she chose for the previous four (!) National Day galas: the Belgian Scroll Tiara. (Read about its history here!) She paired it with pearl drop earrings from the family vaults. Also worth noting: the embellishment at the waist of her gown appears to be part of the dress itself, not a separate jewel.

Sophie Margue/Cour grand-ducale

Stephanie wore an interesting mix of jewels, including the family’s small floral tiara. (More on that one over here!) I think this may be the first time she’s worn the tiara in public. She also wore one of the family’s gorgeous diamond rose brooches. (More here!)

Sophie Margue/Cour grand-ducale

She paired the classic floral jewels with a pair of ultra-modern earrings, which she previously wore in a glamorous appearance at the Cannes Film Festival in 2017. (See our post on that event here!) I loved the earrings on that occasion, but the combination of jewels here is a bit of a head-scratcher for me.

Alexandra, on the other hand, went for a complete parure: the tiara, earrings, and necklace from the family’s turquoise suite. (More on the set here!)

She also wore an impressive diamond solitaire ring on her right hand. Gorgeous!

As always, I’d highly recommend heading over to Luxarazzi for even more National Day coverage!

The Grimaldis of Monaco celebrated the principality’s National Day on Monday, and the ladies of the family brought out some lovely jewels for both the day and evening celebrations.

Princess Charlene brought out a favorite pair of earrings: the pearly Tribale style from Dior.

As she acknowledged the crowd from the palace balcony, you’ll spot her Cartier Trinity ring on her left hand…

…and her diamond engagement ring on her right hand.

Princess Caroline wore large red earrings that coordinated with both her nails and the lining of her coat. She also wore a gold bracelet, a gold watch, and a ring on her pinky finger.

Princess Stephanie wore two pairs of diamond stud earrings, one smaller and one larger.

Caroline and Stephanie’s families were on hand for the festivities as well. (Two notable exceptions, though: Charlotte Casiraghi, who recently gave birth to her second son, was not in attendance, and neither was Camille Gottlieb.)

Tatiana Casriaghi wore earrings with circular drops that paired nicely with her neutral navy coat.

Beatrice Casiraghi was the picture of Italian glamour in gray pearl drop earrings and tortoiseshell sunglasses.

She also wore rings on each hand and a slim Cartier Love Bracelet on her right wrist.

Princess Alexandra wore a pair of elaborate stud earrings and a classic necklace.

Princess Stephanie’s two older children, Louis and Pauline Ducruet, were both on the balcony. (No sign of Louis’s fiancee, Marie Chevallier, at the public events.)

Like her mother, Pauline has multiple piercings in each ear, and she wore a trendy array of earrings, including a pair of Dior Tribale earrings with a marble pattern.

But the stars of the show, as always, were the Grimaldi kids! Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella were adorable as they joined their parents on the balcony.

As were the Casiraghi kids! Helpfully, their parents color-coordinated them. Pierre is holding his elder son, Stefano, while Andrea’s elder son, Sacha, stands in front of his grandmother. Princess Caroline is holding Maximilian Casiraghi (Andrea’s second son, wearing navy) and Francesco Casiraghi (Pierre’s second son, wearing gray). The babies were born a month apart this spring.

Also adorable in navy: Andrea’s daughter, India Casiraghi, who stood with her parents on the balcony.

On Monday evening, the family gathered for the annual National Day gala. Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene were accompanied by Princess Caroline, who was escorted by her elder son, Andrea Casiraghi.

Princess Charlene’s primary accessory was an intricate pair of diamond statement earrings.

Princess Caroline wore familiar jewels: her diamond, ruby, sapphire, and emerald earrings, a diamond and ruby clip brooch in the shape of the letter A, and a pendant emblazoned with the Grimaldi family crest.

Photographers also snapped Beatrice Casiraghi arriving for the gala. She paired golden pearls with her champagne-colored gown.
