Royal etiquette

At the diplomatic Christmas reception, Catherine of Wales wore the dress she had already worn to the June 2023 wedding of Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa.

The dazzling diamond and pearl tiara once belonged to Prince William’s mother, Princess Diana.

The crown princess also wore Greville diamond chandelier earrings belonging to Her Majesty Elizabeth II.

A significant part of the Queen’s jewelry collection is made up of a gift to the royal family from Lady Margaret Greville, a friend of the Queen Mother, which was later inherited by Elizabeth II.

Cartier earrings were made for several years – from 1918 to 1929. Originally they were a simple pair of earrings. In 1922, they were extended using twelve additional diamonds. The earrings were completed in their current form in February 1929, when ten more diamonds were added.

Reference to Hola! published information, rumors of an affair between Prince Federico and philanthropist, model and television personality Geneva Casanova emerged after a photo leaked to the media showing the two together on a private trip of the prince to Madrid.

The two were reported to have visited a Picasso exhibition at the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum, walked in the park and had dinner together in the city centre. It is also said that a mutual friend who was originally supposed to accompany Frederic around Madrid fell ill and asked Casanova, who is an expert on Picasso art, to replace him.

Casanova herself comments Hola!: “I categorically deny allegations of a romantic relationship between Prince Frederik and myself. Any such allegations are not only completely false, but also maliciously fabricated. Everything is now in the hands of my lawyers, who will take appropriate steps to protect my right to honour, truth and privacy.”

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary in May.

Andrew McAvoy on his channel “McTrail Rider” posted a video of him and a group of friends bumping into King Charles III on the road, who was walking alone on the Balmoral estate.

The king stopped to talk to the cyclists for about two minutes. They talked about both the weather conditions and Charles’s childhood memories of this property.

Given the protocol of the royal family, it was unusual to see Charles alone in ordinary outdoor clothes talking about mundane matters.

McAvoy, who is not a big fan of the royal family, admitted that the meeting was exciting: “It was pretty cool.”
