Royalty Thread#12 Tiaras, Palaces & Gilded Cages

I am sure they will release a new photo to mark Princess Charlotte’s birthday. It is a few days yet so I guess editors are just using old photos for now.

I realize that but the headline made it sound like if you clicked on it you would get a new picture.

Charlotte is a dead ringer for the Queen.

Kate on Instagram. I find it endearing the way she leans into the camera not the least bit worried about the distortion.

Slightly OT, but I just rewatched the Downton Abby movie and I am sure the tiara the Queen is wearing in the movie is supposed to be the one linked above. Princess Mary, in the ball at the end, is wearing a copy of one now favoured by the Queen. I can’t remember it’s name but it is very recognizable.

You're right. It's the The Grand Duchess Vladimir tiara.
