I understand the Queen offered up three tiara's for Kate to choose from for the wedding and Kate immediately went for the Halo ( Scroll) Tiara as being the simplest, least ostentatious one of the three. Does anyone know what the other two tiara's were?? I think Kate's wedding tiara fit her...

OOps, did not see the posts just above mine - they all say the same thing with the comparison to Kidman and Witherspoon - but again, if William is happy, and Kate is happy, it is no one's business.

The weight question is being debated in England now - when you see Catherine next to Nicole Kidman or Reese Witherspoon on the California trip ( and neither of those two ladies is what you would call "Big"), she looks very thin and they look very large. She went on a diet before the wedding...

Getting back to language - i was really surprised when I first heard Queen M. speak- She speaks like a native English person. Also Joachim does too, but Fred has an accent. I find that all interesting, because Fred and Joachim grew up in a household speaking French, I guess because of...

I wonder why she chose to change the direction and wear it on the left side?? I agree, it looks SO much better going right to left. Maybe she likes the "understated" look, but what is the point of wearing it if it is not seen, or seen very well?? I read somewhere ( here on the Forum?) that...

I like the Diamond Foam Tiara, it's sleek and tailored like Charlene - but I wish it had more presence in front- maybe a couple of more of the "sea sprays" going across the front instead of just the one, which got lost in her hair. And since she walked on Prince A's right, the side of her head...

Does anyone know who Sophie gets her clothes from?? Every time the Duchess of Cambridge walks out the door, the designer is listed. I find most other Royal evening clothes from the European Royal families are really non descript. But the Brits ( other than, maybe, Princess Anne) and now...

I have just read all 15 pages of this entire thread, and some thoughts I have noticed is that some posters have said that since the Wessex's are "minor" royalty within the British Royal Family, Sophie does not necessarily need a large jewelry collection, but I beg to differ. As has been hashed...

I had heard a few years ago that, in the interests of downsizing the "working" royal family,Beatrice and Eugenie were supposed to lose their titles of "Princess" when they turned 21, but of course that has not happened. But I have also read that the Queen does not want them to take part as...

As to Aigrette Tiara, is is very sleek and modern like Charlene. I think it caught her type of style perfectly - she does not seem like the standard antique tiara type of person. Does anyone know the history of the tiara the Caroline wore to the gala??

I was wondering why Stephanie and Caroline don't wear tiara's very much. Caroline wore one at the Monaco wedding gala , but Stephanie did not, and Caroline does not wear one very often - last time I remember seeing her in one was Victoria's wedding. I know Grace had a couple of very nice...

Ocean Tiara THere is a U Tube video from Van Cleef and Arpels showing the making of the new set. Its made of diamonds and different colored sapphires to indicate the ocean - the sapphires go from light to dark to go from the light blue of Monaco waters to the deep ocean water around South...

Thanks for the answers! I would have thought Anne- Marie MIGHT have taken some of it with her, on the off chance they did not go back to Athens, and Constantine was just not saying so, but I was wondering about it. He basically said that they left with just a few clothes in suitcases and that...

It looks like she needs "Spanx" for this gown. Mary has looked very tired since the twins were born, but I guess that is to be expected! I hope she is not suffering from post-partum distress. At the first State dinner that she attended (in the black dress with the new pearl embellishments to her...

I just learned in May about the wearing of white ( rather than black) in the presence of the Pope by the Queens of Belgium and Spain and the Grand Duchy of Luxemboug because those countries are titled "the Most Catholic King/Queen of Belgium/Spain/ Luxembourg". All other Catholic "Houses" must...

To me, all the strapless gowns look the same, even tho they are not, some are beaded, skirts are different, etc.. The only Royal wedding gowns that I can think if with even SHORT sleeves are Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and the shrug that Autumn Kelly wore at her wedding to Peter Philips...

Hello- I understand from a documentary on King Constantine that when the Royal Family left the country they only had a few clothes with them as they had expected to go back to Athens from Northern Greece. Anne Marie has quite a few gorgeous tiaras and jewels, including the gorgeous historic...
