It's been a while
It's been a while royal fans. With work, getting engaged and planning my wedding I've neglected my blog. However tonight is a special event, the wedding of Princess Eugenie of York, the younger daughter of Prince Andrew and granddaughter to Queen Elizabeth II.
I could not miss this event, this is the first British Princess (by blood) to get married since the Queen's own daughter, Princess Anne, Princess Royal. It's all very exciting and I can't wait to share it with you. In the mean time I will be looking at the highlights from the last four months in not just the British Royal family, but all the other royal families.
I look forward to sharing this very special wedding with you all.
Liat xoxo

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.

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.
Embed from Getty Images
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.
