I was really hoping Victoria would wear the Estelle parure, but I was happy to see her in the Emeralds too. I really wish there was a matching tiara. Madeleine looked lovely in the amethysts.
ReplyDeleteWhy was the queen overwhelmed with emotion, what brought her to tears? No one else seemed to be so...
ReplyDeleteI have not seen the name "Estelle parure" before and I know the Swedish royal jewels rather well. Which parure do you mean?
