This stunning ring, featuring two sapphires set in diamonds, was a gift from Queen Victoria to her granddaughter-in-law, Mary (later Queen Mary), on the day of the christening of her eldest child, Prince Edward of York (later Edward VIII) in 1894. ~ RCT

King George V and King Alphonso XIII of Spain in 1905
Aaron Bushnell it's trending. His name is trending. His screams of Free Palestine weren't in vain. Because Tumblr can try and censore palestinian blogs, and keep palestine from trending, but we will always find a way to bring revolution to the world.
Fucking Free Palestine

"It was no State secret that the King disliked travelling abroad. From the end of the war until his death 17 years later, he spent scarcely more than 8 weeks overseas; 5 of them on an enforced Mediterranean cruise after a bout of bronchitis, the rest on reluctant official visits to France, Belgium and Italy. Nor did the Queen ever undertake a foreign tour alone, even during the 17 years of her widowhood"
The clip above is from when George and Mary meet the Pope, during their visit in Italy in 1922
"According to the account written in the 1920s by an American journalist, Mabel Potter Daggett, George and Missy’s Malta romance actually went as far as to a series of kisses, the most important supposedly occurring on the occasion of Missy’s 14th birthday party. She was still ‘‘a flat little girl with golden hair hanging down her back.” But for the party, she’d graduated into her first bustle and hung a string of pink coral around her neck. Catching sight of Missy alone in a San Antonio gallery, George is supposed to have said, “I say, Missy, my word but you’re pretty,” then “caught her in his arms and kissed her.” There were more kisses to follow,” continued Mrs. Daggett, “for it was first love that had occurred to both.”
Do people realize that Israel is so unrestrained that it’s now launching attacks in Lebanon and Syria as well. Do people realize how little Arab people mean to these genocidal maniacs that they are now killing people in three Arab countries. Can genocide apologists pause their pure hatred for Arabs to at the very least admit this. Or are we going to pretend that Israel has a reason to be intensifying attacks in Damascus right now
All happy pinning medals ❤️🥰
Or maybe the cautionary tale is for both 🤷🏼♀️
