Ferdinand I is back home and it the State had a small involvement in the transfer of his remains after all, as it was approved by the then Government a few months ago (the country is taking the Belgian path with the political crisis from 2007-2011). Apparently, there were also negotiations with...

I was too nervous and had to catch my breath after running from my gate to theirs (we were on different flights to Bulgaria), so I completely forgot to ask about his late mother's remains. Anyway, I guess her body will also be transferred from Italy one day.

Their Majesties are travelling to Bulgaria for the reburrial of Tsar Ferdinand. I just met them at the airport in Mallorca and had a brief chat about the upcoming funeral. Apparently the State is not involved at all and it will be a low-key affair. HM said that the family didn't want itto be too...

I read so too at the Court Jeweller. I stand corrected!

Queen Mary has started exploring the Danish vault, it seems! For the welcoming ceremony in Oslo, she debuted a ruby and diamond floral brooch (Link), which was previously worn by Queen Margrethe, for example during her Ruby Jubilee celebrations in 2012 (Link). Her pearl pendant earrings (one...

I think Princess Margaret got it right by wearing the Crown of India atop her royal family orders. After all, the OCI was/is part of the official honorific system and gave precedence to the wearer, while the RFO does not. We also know that the RFO's are worn in descending order, with the...

Did anyone notice the large emerald ring of Mary's right hand? It looks like a new addition to her expanding collection!

Princess Alice wasn't very consistent with the placement of her CI, though. For example, in this 1952 portrait she's wearing it atop of her RFO's - LINK

Maybe (cultured) Tahitian pearls?

One can dream, though LOL

That would be a great 20th wedding anniversary present to Queen Letizia!

@dutchroyaljewels on Instagram has traced the large sapphire to Queen Juliana. The earrings should be either also sapphires or possibly chalcedony. https://www.instagram.com/dutchroyaljewels/p/Be8T97lA08v/?hl=bg
