Sunderland's Royal Jewel Vault (12/∞) ♛

↬ Queen Matilda Mary's Pearl Fringe Tiara

Out of all the tiaras in Sunderland's royal jewelry box, Queen Matilda's Pearl Fringe is perhaps the most remarkable. The tiara, which Queen Irene once called a wall of diamonds, is instantly recognizable due to its classic design with an intriguing twist. In 1908, the Prince and Princess of Danforth celebrated their silver wedding anniversary. The occasion was a great excuse for lavish celebrations and, more importantly, for Sunderland's courtiers to curry favour with extravagant gifts. Predictably, this turned gift-giving into a fierce competition between aristocratic families, who vied for the most expensive gift. To produce a magnificent gift, a group of prominent women formed an uneasy alliance. The three women included: the Marchioness of Bathurst (wife of the current Conservative prime minister), the Countess of Bloor and the Countess Farnsworth (the paternal great-aunt of the future Tatiana, Princess of Danforth). Pooling their combined wealth, the women were able to afford a major piece of jewelry for the princess. They quarrelled throughout the process, notably over the tiara's design and who would present the gift at Chester Palace, but the princess herself was impressed with their effort. The resulting tiara was a spectacular fringe tiara of white and yellow gold set with diamonds. Much to Matilda's delight, the tiara bore similarities to Queen Caroline's Fringe Tiara, a favourite of her estranged mother-in-law Queen Alexandra. The tiara featured sixty brilliant-set graduated bars and drop pearl toppers which cloud easily removed. Futuring over 400 diamonds, it cost around $7,480. Princess Matilda took an instant liking to the tiara, choosing to debut it at the wedding of her eldest surviving son, the Duke of Woodbine to Lady Anne Sunningdale, in 1913. At the wedding, the tiara generated interest from the press and public, who marvelled at the tiara's dazzling beauty. When Matilda Mary became queen in 1921, it continued to maintain the title of her most recognizable tiara. When Matilda Mary died in 1945, it was inherited by her daughter-in-law Anne. Despite having not one but two other fringe tiaras, wore the tiara consistently throughout her husband's reign. Posing in it for multiple portraits. Queen Anne died in 1973, and along with most of her personal jewels, she bequeathed the tiara to her granddaughter-in-law, Queen Irene. The piece quickly became a central part of Irene’s jewelry collection, being worn frequently throughout Irene and Louis's first European tour in 1973-4 where the press once again gawked at the tiara's enthralling row of diamonds. It is one of the few tiaras Irene has worn consistently throughout her tenure as queen, having appeared during foreign tours, at royal premieres, and at state banquets across the world.

thinking. about rens first two months in tokyo and how hes basically internally screaming and also hiding his clenched fists in his pockets all the time HES SO PISSED OFF and hes SO good at repressing that shit as a civilian but my god... it comes out in the metaverse v heavily at the start

ren really went into their year on probation completely closed off. wanting to keep his head down. he didnt want to know anyone and didnt want anyone to know him. keep out of trouble. stay safe. trying to avoid pain from all directions. emotional or physical. real or imaginary. he would create a personality so cold and so distant. whatever he needed to do to.

and then the universe drops one (1) ryuji in front of them and that whole plan fell apart.

ryuji saw ren was alone and decided to walk to school with him. that one show of kindness in a world that had since become so unjust and so bleak -- ryujis concern for them, a complete stranger, when under attack in the palace. and ren decided he would die for him.

ryuji is the real heart of the phantom thieves and thats why hes ren's second. he was the one who gave ren hope when he came to tokyo all alone. thrown to the wayside by their parents and treated like garbage by everyone around them. ryuji was the catalyst for ren believing in people again. he and ann helped ren learn to trust again.

his relationship with the two of them is different than any of his with the other pt. because they're the OGS and they had to face the prospect that they could ultimately be collaborators in killing a man if shit goes south. the amount of trust you would have for each other in this situation is insane.

↬ Queen Anne's Hanover Turquoise Tiara

Queen Anne, the grandmother of King Louis V, had an intriguing background. While being born into Sunderlandian aristocracy, she was also a descendant of King George III of the United Kingdom through her mother, a princess in both the United Kingdom and Germany, Marie of Hanover. It was through her mother that Anne inherited a good chunk of her jewelry, including a parure of turquoise and diamonds. The parure included a necklace, a pair of earrings, and several brooches, they were all given to Anne upon her marriage to George, Duke of Woobine in 1913. Anne was photographed wearing the set in her first official portrait as Princess of Danforth. Decades later, the now Queen Anne passed on the parure to the next Princess of Danforth, Ruby. During her brief stint as Queen-in-waiting, Ruby wore the tiara frequently, often pairing it with the parure's necklace and brooches. Ruby, known privately to be very shy, preferred the opaqueness of turquoise over the eye-catching glitz of other coloured gemstones including, ironically, rubies. Following her husband's assassination, Ruby continued to carry out duties in service of her brother-in-law and later nephew as the Princess Dowager. The parure continued to be worn throughout the 20th century. When Ruby died in 2006, a great number of her jewels were auctioned, but this turquoise parure has been unaccounted for decades. There’s been much speculation about its whereabouts. The most popular theory is that the tiara was returned to the royal vault upon its owner's passing. Hopefully someday it will be dusted off and worn once again by a new generation of royal women.

“You know I never wanted to marry Philippe, our daughter is just a reminder of that”

“I have you, don’t I”

“I’m worried for you sweetheart. I don’t like seeing you like this, ever since we saw you father…”

“Literally stop talking to me.”

“I just…wish they were here, with me…with us”

I enjoy babies in moderation, Mrs Hammond, but twins three times in succession is too much. I simply couldn't live here if I hadn't any imagination.

"but i thought you said you shipped-"

My honest reaction:

and they swap back anytime they want.
