7 Tiaras of European Royal Families 

Princess Charlene doesn't seem to wear much jewelry in general, but maybe it's because of personal preference

That was interesting! Ty

Ohhhhh don't forget the most juicy part. Bernadotte's wife was engaged to Napoleon first, but then he met Josephine. (whose actual name was Marie Josèphe Rose Tascher de la Pagerie, Napoleon decided he liked Josephine better - Beauharnais was the last name her her first - executed - husband) Her sister married Napoleon's brother, Joseph. Napoleon felt bad about breaking off the engagement with Désirée, so he tried to marry her off to another of his generals - Duphot, but he was killed the day before they were to get married, in a riot. Désirée claimed the engagement never happened, but there's records of it, so... She ended up moving back to France, all of Napoleon's family members sided with her against Josephine, and Désirée definitely had some observations about Josephine, but apparently kept the peace. She was proposed to by another General, said no, and then Napoleon told Bernadotte about her. She finally agreed to marry him. The some of the jewels she was given? They were purchased for her by Napoleon. He wanted all of the women of his court to look *fabulous* for his coronation. She also had a malachite and gold set made for her that featured mythological figures on the malachite. The Danish Ruby Parure uses the rubies from Désirée's ruby coronation jewelry. They went from French, to Italian (Bernadotte was made Prince of Ponte Corvo), to Swedish, to Danish jewels worn by queens. Oscar (Désirée's son) married Josephine (Josephine's granddaughter), and then their granddaughter, Lovisa, married Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark. I should probably stop reading so much lol

Im a fan of any high art jewelry work that eschews faceted stones :)

The cameo has always been one of my absolute favorite pieces. It’s just so unique!

It was made with love and effort and I feel like that is what makes it charming and beautiful

I’m enchanted by the cameo tiara. It is unique.

I’m enchanted by the cameo tiara. It’s so unique.

I love that tiara too! It is stunning!

Lovisa was the only daughter (and really, only child!) so it made sense for her to end up with a lot of the Swedish jewels. I’m glad the cameo stayed in Sweden though, it looks incredible on Victoria.

The ruby and diamond parure is very lovely - but I don't think it could outrank the others on the list. It's essentially just a really nice leaf motif with small-ish ruby clusters - so definitely very wearable and elegant, not to mention adjustable. (That set has been rearranged enough times to make anybody dizzy - and I think that's a good thing!) It's great for the second-ranking female royal - but it's not the "big guns" in terms of royal bling. We'll see what Mary looks like with the pearl poire set in due course - I'm sure it will look wonderful.

@@CopenhagenDreaming the Pearl parure yes. That is a magnificent set that also came from Lovisa, and one of the Queen’s favorites. No doubt about it it Will look magnificent on Mary. Also the emerald tiara that’s part of the Crown Jewels. The Queen’s flower tiara that Can be broken into several pieces I’m curious to see who ends up with that one. Could imagine Princess Isabella wearing that one.

@@christinaj.jensen4805 Mary is a very pretty person and knows how to stand up straight - so she can probably carry almost any jewels you could throw at her! (As could, of course, so many other women - but they won't have access to quite the same jewellery vault... I'm sure you'd look wonderful in the rubies!) Also, I'm kind of against the monarchy, just for the record. But the current royals? Fair enough. Can't be bothered to start a revolution against a queen who is so delightfully weird and artistic. Mary seems boring by comparison - but she does seem to have personality, which is important. After all, being able to wear jewellery is only a tiny part of the job.

@@CopenhagenDreaming Well, that’s your right to be against it. Just like it is mine to be for it :)

British seem to use their less than many others since they usually wear hats and not tiaras at weddings. Also Swedish and Norwegian royals were them at Nobel ceremonies.

I named my daughter Colleen Alexandra.......the Alixandra being for the Czarina.

They do adult proms here where I live. Check into. Get yourself a pretty dress and dress up and rock it! We wore tiara's for formals in school from 00'-04.

I guess that goes to show you who really killed them

The Vlad has an amazing history. That video would be cool.

Oriental is descriptive and isn’t, ‘out of favor’ unless you’re mentally I’ll without a life of your own. Thank you for using it

@@debbylou5729 not from what I’ve seen, and why be a bitch about it

@@wasumoto457 please stay in you own lane, with your own people. You clearly lack communication skills. Lower classes usually resort to name calling that’s just vulgar without an ounce of creativity. Get an education, learn some new words and try to insult me after, ok?

He is related to them through all of his 4 grandparents ( quick google search)

His grandmother, Princess Victoria of Mountbatten was sister to Czarina Alexandria...the Russian Czarina was his great Aunt...both women were the daughters of Princess Alice of GB, 2nd daughter of Victoria and Albert

Oh I loathe the Burmese ruby, but maybe it’s because I so loved the design of the Nizam of Hyderabad tiara that was dismantled to make it! The GD Vladimir is an incredible piece, though! I have to admit, I’m a little sad the queen has never, at least as far as I know, lent it out to her cousin Alexandra, who is a great granddaughter of the grand duchess.

Further, she was never Princess Diana. She was Diana, Princess of Wales. Only women born into a royal family can be addressed as “Princess ……” such as Princess Anne. And, HRH The Princess of Wales loathes being called “Kate.” She has been very clear that she prefers the name Catherine.

@@leechase1319 Thank you for this. Did not know about the Princess Diana reference.

@@leechase1319 Thank you, too. I've been correcting that with friends and family for years (though I'm not a royalist).

@@leechase1319 Correction, this only applies to the British royal family - women marrying into other royal houses are styled 'Princess first name', e.g. Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, Princess Sofia of Sweden, Crown Princess Maxima of the Netherlands (now Queen Maxima), Princess Marie of Denmark, Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands, etc.

I heard if you marry into the British Royal Family, whilst you’re not called Princess Polly for instance you can be called Princess then your husband’s name. For examples Markle thought she’d be Princess Meghan but she could be known as Princess Henry just like Princess Michael of Kent. I loved the sleekness of the Prussian tiara.

Because why not?
