Trooping of The Colour 2018

Yesterday saw Britain's annual Trooping of the Colour. The day celebrates The Queen's Birthday though it's not her actual birthday. The entire royal family gathers together on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Here's the day in pictures.

 

The guest of honour, Queen Elizabeth II was of course there.

 

Prince Charles of Wales and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall were present with their branch of the family; Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge with their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Unfortunately Prince Louis, the newest addition is a bit young to join. Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and the new Duchess of Sussex, Meghan was also on the balcony.



Prince Andrew, Duke of York was present along with his girls Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie of York. Queen Elizabeth's youngest son Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex wasn't there neither was his young son James, Viscount Severn. He was well represented though via his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex and their daughter Lady Louise Windsor who is looking more and more grown up every time we see her.



Princess Anne, The Princess Royal and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence were there with Anne's son and daughter-in-law Peter and Autumn Phillips. Princess Anne's granddaughters Savannah and Isla Phillips joined them and stole the show. They are adorable! Princess Anne's daughter Zara Tindall was not present as she is due to give birth next month.

Tiara Time 23rd May 2018!!!

Two weeks ago we had a whole host of tiaras on display. On the 23rd of May the Royal family of Luxembourg hosted King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of The Netherlands. They marked the occasion with a gala banquet and tiaras were worn.



Grand Duke Henri, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, King Willem-Alexander, Queen Maxima, Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie in all their finery.

 

The evening's hostess, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa wore the Belgian Scroll Tiara. Very pretty and simple. It worked with her dress and was a nice choice for a state visit.



The guest, Queen Maxima surprised everyone by wearing the Stuart Tiara for the first time. Though not the eldest in The Dutch tiara collection, it's considered a big one. It's a huge compliment to the Luxembourg Royal family. Though Maxima did play it down by not adding the diamond. You cold also say it was too extravagant, possibly trying to outshine Maria Teresa. That's Maxima though!



The young Hereditary Grand Duchess wore the Chaumet Diamond Pearl Tiara. This was Stephanie's first time wearing it. A very special occasion for her, and a great honour as previously it has only ever been worn by her mother-in-law, The Grand Duchess. Stephanie kept the tiara low key, by removing the larger pearls.

Stay tuned for a look at the tiaras worn at Crown Prince Frederik's 50th gala dinner.
