Queen Elizabeth should have worn the Cullinan 3 and 4 in the Queen Mary's Indian coronation tiara topped by its original emeralds, now what a site would that have been.
The Duchess of Cornwall is ok but one would not imagine she has options or choice if she continues to look the same on every occasion. I mean she could have worn one of the spectacular necklaces long not seen such the Kent amethyst or the Godman necklace or the late QM emerald necklace with a dress to match. And maybe a different tiara, she must be spoiled for choice if one does a count on the number of tiaras now in the collection of the Queen.
I don't no, nor do I wish to be critical of the Duchess Cambridge, but she continues to age speedily in her face or around the eyes, but maybe Prince Louis is keeping her up late. I did think for a bit that she could debut the Kent amethyst parure. Her dress reminds me of a yellow or other coloured one worn by her late mother in law at a state banquet. I don't know if that is the style but the dress appeared ruffled and too overly long. But overall good and impressive jewellery choices.
Can anyone get us a closer look at the earrings the Countess of Wessex is wearing?
Regards,
Dave.
