“I get why Annunciata and Astrid, opted for a big tiara, they probably know that this is will be the only tiara moment they will ever have. Even at the bavarian wedding they didn't wore a tiara while every royal did. Even their sister-in-law didn't wore a tiara to her own wedding. I mean they should have let her wore a tiara because this would be the only tiara moment she will have. I don't see the Liechtenstein and the Luxembourg won't give them a tiara anytime soon.” - Submitted by Anonymous

1500s WOMEN - PART 2

The 1400s gave way to the incredibly iconic accessories of the 1500s, namely hoods (both Gabled and French) and ruffs. While the end of the Tudor era saw the popularity of headdresses decline in favour of uncovered hair decorated with jewels, diadems, and feathers, prior to that headdresses were a vital part of court dress. In fact, the style of hood worn was often used as a political statement amongst the nobility. Hats had always been in fashion for men, but the 16th century saw them also become a fashion staple for women. CC links and reference images under the cut.

Queen Mary's Lozenge Tiara Has Been Found!

Queen Mary's Lozenge Tiara which was thought to have been languishing in the vault for six decades has been found with a member of a royal family - just not the British royal family.

The tiara first appeared on Queen Mary in the 1930s though it was likely made a bit earlier. She wore it with thirteen pearl shaped pearls attached to the top but those were removed by the time the tiara made it's way to Princess Margaret.

In 1948, the tiara was worn by Princess Margaret for her first tiara appearances during the inauguration festivities of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands. For a long time it was thought to be a loan but now seems to have been an 18th birthday present from her grandmother. She wore it a few times in her early years of tiara wearing but it was never a favorite and the last public appearance was in 1965. Princess Margaret did sell some jewels during her lifetime so it's not out of the question that this tiara was discreetly sold sometime after 1965 with no mention of the owner.

And now the current owner is Queen Azizah of Pahang! The tiara was bought by Queen Azizah in 1988 from a jeweler in New York City with no mention of it's provenance. It has been worn regularly by the family since.

Saad Salman from The Royal Watcher made the connection when he was in Malaysia for the wedding of Prince Muhammad and Natasya Adnan. He mentioned that they might be the same tiara to Queen Azizah and she invited him to take a closer look. She is very interested in historical jewelry and has been great about providing information about the Pahang collection. I'm a little sad because I've long wanted this one to appear on a member of the BRF but it's so wonderful that not only does the tiara still exist but it's still worn instead of being stuck in a vault.

Congrats to Saad for such an amazing discovery!

The tiara's not worn yet from the late Queen's collection of favourites

via the court jeweller

Queen Alexandra’s Kokoshnik Tiara,

Perhaps the grandest of the three is Queen Alexandra’s Kokoshnik Tiara, which was given to her as a silver wedding anniversary present by a committee of aristocratic women in 1888. They asked her for input on the tiara’s design, and she pointed toward a classic diamond kokoshnik worn by her sister, the Empress of Russia

Vladimir Tiara

Queen Elizabeth II also inherited another tiara from Queen Mary: the versatile Vladimir Tiara, which was made for a Russian grand duchess in the 1870s. Mary bought it, along with its original pendant pearls, from Grand Duchess Vladimir’s descendants after the revolution, and she had it adjusted so that it could also be worn with drops from her grandmother’s Cambridge emerald collection. 

Brazilian Aquamarine Tiara 

The third and final unworn tiara from the late Queen’s collection of favorites is perhaps the most unique, and the one I’m most looking forward to seeing Queen Camilla wear. For her coronation in 1953, the people of Brazil offered Queen Elizabeth II a necklace and earrings set with diamonds and aquamarines. Four years later, the Queen commissioned Garrard to make a tiara to match the set, and as Brazil offered her more aquamarines over the years, the parure was expanded and the tiara was made larger.

Fairytale Wedding

Captain John Price x F! Royalty Reader

Summary: a continuation of “A Knight in Shining Amor” After Y/N had recovered from her injuries she started to court Captain John Price. Even attending Trooping the Color with him. Soon a Royal proposal happened & the big wedding day is upon us

Warnings: Mention of a wedding night

Y/N had been waiting for this day ever since she was the flower girl at her Aunt Mary’s wedding. Years of preparation went into this ceremony, all the way from the tiara she was to select from her grandmother’s collection to the flowers in her bouquet. She had waited years to find a man suitable for her, then came along John. He had saved her life & she grew fond of him. Over the past year they had been courting each other & attending formal events. However behind the privacy of the palace walls it was a whole different story. She was able to see that tender side of him & he was able to see her without all the Royal protocol. He was used to seeing her in a gorgeous ballgown, or all done up but he found her most beautiful in blue jeans.

So here she stood in front of the golden gilded mirror in her bedroom. Her wedding dress had been designed custom by Christian Dior & was adorned with beautiful floral appliqués representing each of the Commonwealth countries. It had a high neck resembling Grace Kelly’s iconic wedding dress & her veil was a cathedral length. The blusher draped over her face & went down to her elbows. She looked the epitome of what a royal bride was to be. John’s niece, Evelyn was in seventh heaven & couldn’t believe that his new aunt was a duchess. When she saw her new aunt in her wedding dress her eyes lit up.

“Auntie Y/N,” Her little voice squeaked out. She turned around to see the little girl looking up at her. “You are the prettiest princess I’ve ever seen.” She bent down & hugged the little girl.

“Thank you Eve,” Y/N replied. “And I’m sure you’ll make a wonderful bridesmaid.”

Price’s sister, Katherine & her sister now the Princess of Wales Caroline came in. Both were wearing the custom pale blue gowns that had been designed for them. Katherine picked up Eve & Caroline helped Y/N with the train.

“Ready to go?” Caroline asked. Caroline had already experienced her own wedding day & knew the jitters that Y/N was experiencing. Then started to walk out of the room & into the hallway. The private photographer they had hired was already snapping candid photos. Y/N started down the staircase & saw all of the palace staff watching her. She gave a soft smile in their direction they had seen her grow up & were a vital part of her upbringing. They were of equal importance to her that she shared this day with them.

She finally reached the bottom & walked to where the carriage was parked. Katherine put Evelyn in first & then helped Y/N with her gown. Caroline was near the steps into the carriage to lend a hand to make sure she didn’t fall. Once inside & seated next to Evelyn both ladies joined them. The foot man climbed up & grabbed onto the reigns.

“You ready your highness?” He asked.

“Yes I am! Let’s go!” She replied. Evelyn was practically bouncing in her seat it was the first time she was in a carriage & was absolutely elated. The childlike wonder of her future niece made Y/N wonder what her future children will be like. Soon they were off towards the large brass & golden gates of Buckingham Palace. Screaming crowds of people from all over the world lined the streets. Y/N waved to the people & Evelyn being the social butterfly she was yelled “hello” & waved. Katherine couldn’t help but laugh at her child soaking in the royal treatment.

The sun was out & shown down on the carriage. Y/N’s tiara she had on loan from her grandmother reflected off of the sunlight creating a bright effect. It just added to the beauty of the day. Finally they pulled up to the Westminster Abbey, & her dress was able to be put on full display. Katherine, Evelyn, & Caroline all stepped out before letting Y/N out. Caroline held out an arm while Katherine held onto Y/N’s bouquet & Evelyn.

Once Y/N was out of the carriage the already cheering crowds erupted into louder cheers. Katherine handed her the bouquet & held onto Evelyn’s hand as they started to walk into the cathedral. The priest was waiting for her at the front doors. He grabbed one her hands & gave her some words of endearment to help calm her nerves. Very similar to the ones he gave to John earlier.

At the alter John stood there staring at the thousands people. His team was in the second row all smiles. Ghosh was Simon today, he had ditched his skull mask for a clean shave. Soap showed up in a kilt to represent Scotland. Gaz was there for a good time & to represent his Captain. John hadn’t been this nervous since his first mission. He hadn’t felt this way about anyone ever, she was his whole world. He knew that the moment he visited her in the hospital. The organ started up & the choir started to sing a religious hymn. The crowd stood up & watched as the religious dignitaries walked first lead by the priest.

Then his beloved niece & older sister. He smiled at her as she waved excitedly while throwing petals. It made him wonder what the future children Y/N & him would have. Soon he saw his beloved, looking absolutely ravishing. She radiated pure love & the sunlight from the Abbey’s skylight make her sparkle. Tears started to well in John’s eyes when he saw her. Finally she had reached the alter, & after handing her bouquet to Caroline he took her left hand.

“You look beautiful.” He whispered to her.

“You look handsome.” She whispered back. He really did know how to pull off a British Army Officer’s dress uniform. The ceremony was long but the both of them soaked up every minute. Once the ceremony was complete, they had started to make their way together down the aisle. He had looked over to his team & Soap gave him two thumbs up. John shook his head & chucked.

After carriage ride through the streets of cheering of crowds who wanted to get a glimpse of the newly weds they had finally reached the palace. While the guests were starting to arrive for the reception Y/N & John along with their families were in the sitting room that the main balcony is connected to. John couldn’t stop staring at his bride, she was the most of beautiful thing he had ever laid his eyes on. It was clear her inner beauty reflected outwards. She had bumped into him & he had grabbed onto her waist insuring she didn’t fall.

“Jonathan Price, that better be your sword poking me.” She giggled.

“Its definitely a sword my dear but one you’ll see later on.” He whispered back into her ear causing her to blush. It was soon time for them to grace the balcony that was looking out onto the crowds celebrating the wedding. It was customary the couples saved their kiss for the balcony with the entire royal family.

With Y/N & John in the front both families surrounded them. The crowds were screaming “kiss her” over & over again. John placed his hands at her waist & took her in for a deep kiss. The roar from the crowd was amplified once they saw them lock lips. Once they broke apart they rest their foreheads against each others.

“I love you.” She said & looked into his eyes.

“I love you more.” He said & pulled her in for another kiss.

DAY 1 - Favourite British Royal Family Tiara

Queen Mary's Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara

This tiara was a wedding present from the ‘Girls of Great Britain and Ireland’ to the Duchess of York, later Queen Mary, in 1893. It was purchased with money raised by a committee chaired by Lady Eva Greville, who became one of Queen Mary’s ladies-in-waiting.  In November 1947 Queen Mary gave the tiara as a wedding present to her grand-daughter, Princess Elizabeth.  The Queen has worn the tiara regularly throughout her reign and is depicted wearing it on certain issues of British and Commonwealth banknotes and coinage.
