The Princess of Wales + Festival of Remembrance
(2015)The then Duchess of Cambridge accessorised with the diamond earrings that are thought to be a wedding gift from Prince Charles.
(2016) The Duchess wore her Oscar de la Renta earrings.
(2017) We saw the return of the Collingwood Pearl and Diamond. They were a gift to the late Diana, Princess of Wales and part of her private jewelry collection.
(2018) It’s possible Kate wore a different pair of earrings, not the Queen’s pair. One suggestion is the Pearl and Crystal Earrings by J Crew. Kate’s brooch also appears to be on loan from the Queen, a piece first seen in July 2017 at services in Belgium commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Passchendaele.
(2019) Kate’s earrings are the diamond/pearl drop pair seen previously, on loan from HM. The brooch worn with Kate’s poppies could be a piece we have seen before. I’m thinking of the one that features oak leaves and four “acorns”
(2021)The Duchess also wore the Collingwood diamond and pearl drop earrings that belonged to Diana, Princess of Wales, and Diana’s three-strand pearl bracelet.
(2022) Many recognized jewelry worn by the Princess, including the Four-Row Pearl and Diamond Choker, worn by the late Queen and Diana, Princess of Wales. The Princess of Wales also wore the Bahrain Pearl and Diamond Drop earrings.
(2023) The Princess wore the same necklace she paired with the Wickstead dress in September 2022, a triple-strand pearl necklace that belonged to the Queen. Her earrings tonight were the Bahrain Pearl and Diamond Drop earrings. The Princess wore a single poppy this evening, pinned to her dress by the Queen Mother’s Dragoon Guards brooch.

Happy 47th birthday to Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, Duchess of Västergötland!
Born on 14 July 1977, Victoria Ingrid Alice Désirée is the heir apparent to the Swedish throne, as the eldest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden. If she ascends to the throne, she would be Sweden's fourth queen regnant (after Margaret, Christina and Ulrika Eleonora) and the first since 1720. Her inheritance is secured by Sweden's 1979 Act of Succession, the first law in Western Europe to adopt royal absolute primogeniture.
She was baptised at the Royal Palace Church on 27 September 1977. Her godparents included Crown Prince Harald of Norway (later king of Norway), and Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands (later queen of the Netherlands, 1980-2013).
Victoria was made crown princess on 1 January 1980 by the 1979 amendment to the Act of Succession of 1810 (Successionsordningen).
On 24 February 2009, it was confirmed that permission had been granted and that Victoria would marry Daniel Westling in the summer of 2010. The wedding date was set in Stockholm Cathedral for 19 June 2010, the 34th anniversary of her parents' marriage. The couple have two children: Princess Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary, Duchess of Östergötland (12) and Prince Oscar Carl Olof, Duke of Skane (8)
Often referred to as the "Godmother of Europe, Crown Princess Victoria is the godmother of eighteen children including: Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark; Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange; Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway; Prince Christian of Denmark; Princess Eléonore of Belgium; Princess Katharina of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha; Princess Leonore, Duchess of Gotland; and Prince Alexander, Duke of Södermanland.

Royal Godparents to Royal Godchildren
I did this list back in 2012, and got some great responses. I've updated and edited parts of the list. Again, any corrections and/or adds, message me! Thanks in advance!
When choosing godparents for their children, the parents often chose friends or other relatives. Often in royal circles, royals also pick other royals. Here’s a partial list. (Yes, I know some lists are incompelte as some of these royals’s godchildren are not royals themselves.) If you have any additions, please feel free to message me!

Yesterday I saw a tiktok about the inbreeding in the house of Habsburg, so I googled it, and a couple of hours later I found myself trying to keep my eyes open reading about the history of the Norwegian monarchy.
Because King Olav V of Norway attended the wedding of King Carl Gustaf XVI and Silvia Sommerlath.
Because I was reading about Prince Carl Philip of Sweden. Because he's hot in Spanish he has the same name as Carlos Felipe de Habsburgo, who's father was Archduke Felix of Austria, who was the fourth son of Emperor Charles I of Austria, who was the last monarch to rule over Austria-Hungary.
Somewhere in between reading about the line of succesion and marriages related to the rule of Austria-Hungary I also read a great deal about the line of succession and marriages related to the rule of Germany and Prussia.
Anyway, I read all that yesterday before going to bed. The one thing that actually stuck with me? The one person I wanted to re-read about again the first thing this morning?
Prince Carl of Sweden and Norway, Duke of Västergötland, who was the third son of King Oscar II of Sweden and Norway, and had three daughters and a son.
Princess Margaretha of Sweden, who married Prince Axel of Denmark (for love<3), who was the first cousin to the King of Denmark, King of Norway, King of Greece, King of UK, Emperor of Russia, as well as the first cousin to the father of Prince Philip (Lizzie's spouse). So, you know, a lot of royal cousins.
Princess Märtha of Sweden, who married the Prince Alexander of Denmark (future King Olav V of Norway), making Märtha the Crown Princess of Norway. She passed away before her husband became the king, but her only son is the current king of Norway.
Princess Astrid of Sweden, who married Prince Leopold of Belgium, Duke of Brabant and the future King of the Belgians. For a year and a half, she was the Queen of the Belgians, before dying in a car accident at the age of 29. Both her two sons became the King of Belgians (the first one didn't have children).
Then we have Prince Carl, who's biggest positive achievement in life was to have such sisters. He himself was involved in the so-called Huseby Scandal, which I'm still trying to understand. Something to do with taking advantage of Florence Stephens, heiress to the Huseby estate.
#i dont even know what the point of all this is#i got sucked into the royal side of europe#norwegian monarchy is fascinating though#the whole kalmar union thing and not having a norway-born king for half a millenium#ramblings

The picture is from Crown Prince Haakon’s 18th birthday in 1991. The Norwegian Royal Court released the guest list and we are going to have THREE TIARA DEBUTS and if Maud wears a tiara then there will be four!!! I can’t think of any other event that has ever had so many first tiaras like this one. I do wish that more of the Spanish royals were able to come. It would have been nice for Leonor and Sofia to meet their generation even if they are too young to wear tiaras. The Danish kids are missing too, I would have expected at least Prince Christian to attend. Anyway, TIARAS!!!

Mahoyaku character name inspirations
This has already been a by and gone topic on Twitter, but I haven’t seen anything on Tumblr yet so!! I’ve added two asterisks next to the ones I am unsure of ^^
Central Country:
Oz: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum // First up and the easiest to spot, this almighty wizard’s name is inspired by the iconic emerald trickster. Unlike his namesake, however, this Oz really is as powerful as the rumors claim.
Arthur: History of the Kings of Britain from Welsh and British legend // Fitting for the crown prince of Central country, Arthur’s name is taken from King Arthur Pendragon himself.
Riquet: Riquet with the Tuft by Charles Perraut // Riquet is named after the titular prince of this French fairy tale, which teaches a lesson about the power of inner beauty and virtues.
Cain: Cain and Abel from the Old Testament of the Christian Bible // Our gallant knight’s name is based on the elder of the two biblical brothers, who killed his younger brother in a fit of jealous rage.
Western Country:
Shylock: The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare // This sultry Western barkeep owes his name to the antagonistic moneylender of Shakespeare’s play.
Murr: The Life and Opinions of the Tomcat Murr by E. T. A. Hoffman // Possibly the most interesting naming choice of the cast, there can be many parallels seen between Murr and his namesake. The erraticism of the original Prussian novel shifts between two completely different narrative personas, much like how Murr’s shattered soul shards each take on a different personality.
Rustica: The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde // This bittersweet children’s tale tells the story of unseen altruism. Rustica may be named after the scientific name of a swallow, Hirundo rustica. But despite being named after the swallow, Rustica shares many traits with the golden prince as well, happily giving away his riches to anyone who may ask.
Chloe**: Daphnis and Chloe by Longus // Our loveable tailor may have gained his namesake from the heroine of this ancient Greek romance story.
Eastern Country:
Heathcliff: Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë // The kind and beautiful scion of the Blanchett household is named after the brooding antihero of this dramatic 19th century novel.
Shino: Tale of Eight Dogs by Kyokutei Bakin // Shino was named after the first of the eight warriors, Inuzaka Shino Moritaka. They both hold “devotion” as a virtue, Shino to the Blanchetts, Inuzaka to his family.
Faust: Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe // This reclusive (affectionate) wizard is named after the infamous protagonist of Goethe’s novel who sold his soul to the devil in search for unknown pleasures and knowledge. That Faust, in turn, was inspired by the real German historical figure, Johann Georg Faust.
Nero**: A Dog of Flanders by Marie Louise de la Ramée // Nero may have been inspired by the protagonist, the orphan Nello, of this classic tragedy set on the streets of Belgium.
Southern Country:
Rutile**: The Blue Bird by Maurice Maeterlinck // While the name “Rutile” itself does not tie to any literary works and is rather a geological term used to denote rutilated quartz, our kind southern teacher is most likely inspired by the elder brother of the sibling duo (Tyltyl) in Maeterlinck’s play.
Mitile**: The Blue Bird by Maurice Maeterlinck // Mitile’s name is taken from the younger of the two sibling protagonists in this Belgian play, Mytyl. The Japanese translation also has a line that reads, “月が満ちる”/tsuki ga michiru/the moon waxes).
Figaro: The Barber of Seville by Gioachino Rossini // Figaro takes his name from the cunning protagonist of this iconic Italian comedy opera.
Lennox: The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett // Lennox’s name is taken from the surname of the protagonist, Mary. His occupation as a shepherd (and his surname) could come from the nursery rhyme Mary Had a Little Lamb.
Northern Country:
Snow and White: Snow White by the Brothers Grimm // Obviously, these two Northern hags twins are named after the famous fictional German princess!
Mithra: Persian mythology // Mithra of mythology is the god of the sun, light, and divinity of contracts. This choice in naming becomes very significant when you consider that in the world of Mahoyaku, promises made by wizards are absolute.
Owen: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie // Owen’s name is taken from the mysterious host and murderer of the novel, U. N. Owen.
Bradley**: The Black Prince by Iris Murdoch // Bradley may take his name from the protagonist of the novel, Bradley Pearson.

KATIE’S TOP 10 15 BEST ROYAL WEDDING DRESSES OF ALL TIME
15. Princess Madeleine in Valentino (Sweden, m. Christopher O’Neill, 8 June 2013)
The only thing I can say I hate genuinely about this dress is that it never sat right off her shoulders. It looked like it was slipping and sliding all day. Other than that, wow, this dress is gorgeous. The color is beautiful, combined with that fantastic tiara and gorgeous veil. Lace but not too much lace. Absolutely beautiful!
14. Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby in Ove Harder Finseth (Norway, m. Crown Prince Haakon, 25 August 2001)
I love a simple wedding dress, and Mette-Marit really hit it out of the park with hers. I love that she was involved with the design. I love that she accessorized really minimally to let the dress and that fabulous veil shine. The only thing I’d like to have seen is a bit more bling in the tiara, but she still looked absolutely beautiful!
13. Countess Olympia von und zu Arco-Zinneberg in Oscar de la Renta (France/Austria, m. Prince Jean-Christophe Napoleon Bonaparte, 19 October 2019)
This dress is so far out of my comfort zone, but it is absolutely fabulous. So quirky, so intricate - I’m in love! It’s classic Oscar de la Renta and it fits her beautifully. I’m not a fan of what the cape does in the chest area and I would never, ever wear this myself but it’s a work of art! Absolutely fabulous!
12. Camilla Parker-Bowles in Anna and Robinson Valentine (United Kingdom, m. The Prince of Wales, 9 April 2005)
I think this is stunning for a second wedding. The color, the gold accents, the classic Philip Treacy headpiece - absolutely magnificent. It looks bridal without being juvenile, and it’s gorgeous while still being appropriate for the occasion. I’ve always loved it!
11. Crown Princess Victoria in Pär Engsheden (Sweden, m. Daniel Westling, 19 June 2010)
The combination of the simplicity of Victoria’s gown with the Cameo tiara and that gorgeous, intricate bouquet is exquisite. The Cameo needed something simple to let it shine and Victoria and Engsheden did not disappoint. The color and material were perfection and this is how you do an off-the-shoulder short-sleeved look! Combined with no necklace to really let the whole look shine, this is one of my favorites!
10. Beatrice Borromeo in Armani Privé (Monaco, m. Pierre Casiraghi, 1 August 2015)
This is the first of three (yes, three) mentions of Beatrice Borromeo on this list. She’s gorgeous and would have made a beautiful bride wearing a trash bag but this dress is something else. It’s classic bridal with just a touch of high fashion and I love it. That lace is so, so delicate, only someone as graceful as Beatrice could have pulled it off. Her veil is gorgeous and although I missed a tiara, she’s literally sparkling in the delicate, shimmery fabric!
9. Catherine Middleton in Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen (United Kingdom, m. Prince William, 29 April 2011)
What a love affair the world has with this dress, the modern icon of all wedding dresses! It would have been easy to overwhelm Kate’s figure with a full skirt, but Sarah Burton nailed the proportions perfectly. The lace is exquisite from her neck to her shoes. I love how she brought back lace sleeves in bridal fashion. The peplum detail on the back of the skirt is incredible. It fit her like a second skin in the best way and she looked every bit the fairytale princess walking down the aisle. Her veil was just the right length, too - not too long but not too short. It’s no wonder this is the new iconic wedding dress!
8. Meghan Markle in Clare Waight-Keller for Givenchy (United Kingdom, m. Prince Harry, 19 May 2018)
I’ve said before that I love a simple wedding dress, and Meghan did not disappoint. The boat neckline was so flattering on Prince Harry’s bride, and the color and fabric were just the right combination for her. I stood on the Long Walk during their carriage procession, and I could see Meghan coming from a mile away because she was literally shimmering in the sunlight. I wish it was better tailored - my only true grievance - but everything else was gorgeous. And that veil! What can I say about that veil? It literally sparkled in the sunlight going up the stairs to the chapel. I can’t say enough - and the fact that it included a patch of the dress they wore on their first date? My heart!! If this was better tailored, it would have been top 5.
7. Princess Eugenie in Zac Posen (United Kingdom, m. Jack Brooksbank, 12 October 2019)
The first reception dress of the list! Eugenie’s ceremony dress was pretty, but not my style. This, however... how could one go wrong with a pale blush cape dress that fit her perfectly? She looks like an ethereal goddess, like she’s descended from the clouds to grace us with her presence. The color is magnificent, the fabric so delicate. I don’t know how it’s possible to look so beautiful and so comfortable at the same time, but Eugenie and Zac Posen really pulled it off. This was such a pleasant surprise when comparing it to her ceremony dress - I loved it!
6. Beatrice Borromeo in Valentino (Monaco, m. Pierre Casiraghi, 25 July 2015)
Never in my life could I have imagined myself picking a purple wedding dress in a list of favorites, but here we are. Beatrice’s civil wedding dress was everything one could have expected from her - delicate, feminine, with an almost fairy-like quality that many couldn’t even dream to pull off. She literally looks like a goddess. The lace overlay cape was something out of a dream, and the natural flow of the skirt is magnificent. I love that the lace detail up top matches the lace detail at the bottom. Ethereal is the word I would use to describe this dress - absolutely heavenly!
5. Elisabetta Rosboch von Wolkenstein in Valentino (Belgium, m. Prince Amadeo, 5 July 2014)
The delicate details of this dress are everything! I love the matching neckline with the sleeve structure and the chest/mesh detail. I especially love how those details match the veil outline. I usually don’t like mesh paneling very much, but Elisabetta pulled it off beautifully. The simplicity of the skirt is complemented by the gorgeous overlay. Plus, there’s something so gorgeously simple about the twist in her hair that I just adore. The skirt is flattering and of the right proportion, and I love how vibrant the white is. This is truly one of my favorites - so delicate and feminine!
4. Claire Lademacher in Elie Saab (Luxembourg, m. Prince Felix, 21 September 2012)
Y’all know I wasn’t going to get through this list without my main man Elie Saab. This dress is truly a masterpiece, a piece of premier artistry. The lace detail is simply unparalleled, and it being head-to-toe does nothing to detract from the magnificence that is Princess Claire and Elie Saab. I love the high neckline and the minimalistic jewelry. Plus, that tiara with her dark hair and that gorgeous veil? *chef’s kiss* magnificent. Absolutely otherworldly.
3. Countess Stéphanie de Lannoy in Elie Saab (Luxembourg, m. Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume, 20 October 2012)
God, what a dress. What can I even say? That lace? Incredible. The skirt? Fantastic. The train? Phenomenal. Veil? Unreal. I really don’t have anything technical to say about this other than good Lord, it is out-of-this-world, show-stopping fabulous. Stéphanie’s usual style is not my favorite but it’s truly all forgiven because she pulled out the big guns with this royal wedding dress, the epitome of what a royal wedding dress should be. The only thing that heightens this above Princess Claire’s Elie Saab masterpiece is the color - it’s so gorgeous, so flattering, I have no words. Also, I’m a sucker for this kind of veil - mounted on the back of her head and thin enough to be transparent. The whole thing is mesmerizing - an absolute work of art.
2. Beatrice Borromeo in Armani Privé (Monaco, m. Pierre Casiraghi, 1 August 2015)
Beatrice’s second reception gown rounds out my favorites of hers from her wedding week. I love the simple lines of this dress - the v-neck is so flattering and I love that the straps are thin without being too thin. The A-line cascades down through the skirt beautifully, the belted waist ties the full thing together. The construction is truly magical, a genuine workpiece. I can’t talk about this dress without discussing the cape-like effect of the back. She looks like she is walking through the clouds with the gorgeous wispiness of the cape. I love that the pieces are separate, and I can only imagine what they looked like in motion. Armani truly outdid himself with this - it was perfectly constructed from top to bottom. A true masterpiece.
1. Lady Gabriella Windsor in Luisa Beccaria (United Kingdom, m. Thomas Kingston, 18 May 2019)
And finally, last but certainly not least - the inspiration for my future wedding dress if I ever get married. Lady Gabriella stopped me in my tracks when I saw this dress. Literally, I was walking and looking at my phone, and I stopped short when I saw it. The cape is just divine, that’s the only word I can use to describe it. It’s like Beatrice’s second reception dress, but kicked up a notch with that absolutely inimitable lace overlay. The skirt is proportioned beautifully, and I love how it flatters her figure without suffocating her. The shoulder/cape detail is heavenly. I could stare at this dress all day long, it is so magnificent. It is delicate and feminine with magnificent construction, structured and lined beautifully with an element of softness and romance that cannot be paralleled. It’s no wonder this is my favorite royal wedding gown of all time. It’s just extraordinary. I’ve done my best to explain in words but I simply cannot. This dress is incredible. Heart-stopping, show-stopping, jaw-dropping magnificent.

Happy 46th birthday to Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, Duchess of Västergötland!
Born on 14 July 1977, Victoria Ingrid Alice Désirée is the heir apparent to the Swedish throne, as the eldest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden. If she ascends to the throne, she would be Sweden's fourth queen regnant (after Margaret, Christina and Ulrika Eleonora) and the first since 1720. Her inheritance is secured by Sweden's 1979 Act of Succession, the first law in Western Europe to adopt royal absolute primogeniture.
She was baptised at the Royal Palace Church on 27 September 1977. Her godparents included Crown Prince Harald of Norway (later king of Norway), and Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands (later queen of the Netherlands, 1980–2013).
Victoria was made crown princess on 1 January 1980 by the 1979 amendment to the Act of Succession of 1810 (Successionsordningen). This constitutional amendment introduced absolute primogeniture, meaning that the throne would be inherited by the monarch's eldest child regardless of gender. Prior to this constitutional change, the heir apparent to the throne was her younger brother, Carl Philip. He is now fourth in line to the throne, behind Victoria and her children.
On 24 February 2009, it was confirmed that permission had been granted and that Victoria would marry Daniel Westling in the summer of 2010. The wedding date was set in Stockholm Cathedral for 19 June 2010, the 34th anniversary of her parents' marriage. The couple have two children: Princess Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary, Duchess of Östergötland (11) and Prince Oscar Carl Olof, Duke of Skåne (7)
Often referred to as the "Godmother of Europe", Crown Princess Victoria is the godmother of eighteen children including: Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark; Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange; Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway; Prince Christian of Denmark; Princess Eléonore of Belgium; Princess Katharina of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha; Princess Leonore, Duchess of Gotland; and Prince Alexander, Duke of Södermanland.
Victoria has dyslexia, as do her father King Carl XVI Gustaf and her brother Prince Carl Philip, and prosopagnosia.

I did this list back in 2012, and got some great responses. I've updated and edited parts of the list. Again, any corrections and/or adds, message me! Thanks in advance!
