Jolly good of Harry to not have said anything negative about his family for 14-15 months now. Is that because he has seen the error of his ways, or merely that he has seen "his truth" not sitting well with the public and the Sussex brand being eroded as a result?

Well said!

Classic Queen Camilla look!

It is the Cullinan V indeed, last seen in her crown. I hope this open the door for more Cullinan brooches to be used.

I have no basis to go as far as that, but I can see Mary use the parure for the rest of her time as Queen. She may acquire more jewellery that may get used by her children and their spouses.

What event from 2023 did you think was a sign that the Sussexes had move on?

I am not sure if I agree. IMO, Charles is perfectly entitled to see Harry privately, it is not a matter for the public. If Harry were to be present at an occassion of state or an official engagement, that would be an entirely different matter.

I agree, I think the Crown Prncess wears the Connaught tiara very well.

Victoria would be a good purchaser and user of the tiara, IMO.

That is certainly a possibility. Or the King could have taken the view that he just did not want to receive Harry. We just don't know how relations are between Harry and his father.

A turquoise and diamond parure: a potential addition for the Dutch vaults! https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6481176?ldp_breadcrumb=back

The Queen looks so happy to be with the children.

For the state banquet for the visiting Danes, Sofia is wearing her wedding tiara with the blue topaz toppers this evening.

Crown Princess Victoria is wearing the Connaught tiara this evening for the state banquet for Fred & Mary.

For the state banquet for the visiting Danes, Queen Silvia is wearing the Leuchtenberg sapphires with a forest green gown.

Very good to see some handy "upcycling" by Queen Mary.

Perhaps she is wearing some different jewellery at the return dinner tmrw night.

Thats correct, she is wearing the tiara, the smaller version of the necklace and earrings.

I understand Queen Mary is wearing the Danish rubies tonight.

I wonder why that might be?

You raise a very interesting point. The Sussex "brand", if one could call it that, has taken a very major hit in the last five years. And truth be told, there are only two people responsible for that. It is a pity, for it could all have been very different. Princess Anne or Sophie & Edward could...

The Danish RF tend not to share jewellery, so I think it unlikely that Mary will get to wear the sapphires during Margarethe's lifetime.

I think that makes complete sense. Honour the monarch, spouse, and the future regent couple only, that is the relevant line from a diplomatic perspective.

That is correct.

Queen Mary is wearing the historic Connaught Sapphire Brooch at the start of their State Visit to Sweden.
