"The Vladimir Tiara" - HM Queen Elizabeth II
Purchased in the 1920s by her grandmother, Queen Mary of Teck, from The Grand Duchess Vladimir (Marie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, a German princess, who married Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich of Russia, a son of Emperor Alexander II, in the 1870s).
The tiara can be worn with or without drops. Above the three versions:
- without drops
- with pearl drops
- with emerald drops (from the Cambridge emerald collection used to create the Delhi Durbar parure)

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 ❤️🥰
"You have never left me for a single day since that sad event. I fear darling my nature is not demonstrative, but I want you to understand, that I am indeed grateful to you, for all you have done these busy months for me & I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your love & for the enormous help & comfort which you have been to me in my new position.
I can't imagine how I could have got on at all without you, I shall never forget it...My love grows stronger for you every day mixed with admiration & I thank God every day that he has given me such a darling devoetd wife as you are....God bless you my sweet Angel May....''

Who was george's favourite prime minister?
Surprisingly, Ramsay Macdonald! George thought he was a gentleman, which was more important to George than politics.
She is so silly 🥰😂
