Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Luminaries from around the globe have converged on Paris, where the 2024 Summer Olympic Games kicked off on Friday with a sparkling opening ceremony on the Seine. On the eve of that celebration, many familiar royal faces were in attendance at a glittering gala at the Louvre Museum.
Today, the eyes of the world will be on Paris, where the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games will be held. There will be plenty of dignitaries and talented athletes present for the occasion, but I’m not sure anything can top a royal moment from the 2012 Opening Ceremony, featuring Queen Elizabeth II, James Bond, a helicopter, and some truly fabulous royal diamonds.
King Charles III isn’t just the sovereign of the United Kingdom. He’s also the monarch of several other nations, including fourteen additional Commonwealth Realms. Recently, Buckingham Palace released a set of official portraits for Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, ahead of the King and Queen’s first overseas Commonwealth visit later this year.
