Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
This weekend, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a video to celebrate the achievements of British athletes during the recent Summer Olympic Games–and some royal watchers think Kate may have worn a sentimental ring from her jewelry archives for the message.
At the end of July, the royal world lost one of its most colorful figures: Prince Michael of Greece and Denmark, the writer and historian who occupied a unique place at the intersection of several European royal families. Today, we’ve got a look at the way that his royal relatives remembered him at his funeral in Athens, including the lovely pearls and diamonds they wore to pay tribute to their husband, father, and cousin.
As the Olympic Games wind down toward their closing ceremony over the next few days, I thought we’d take one more peek at some interesting jewelry worn by a royal superfan, Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, as she attended several events in Paris.
