QEII Platinum Jubilee

[Lady Liebe]

Hat tip CoC.

A place for comments on all the Jubilee Events.

Have at it.

   Thanks sweet Lady Liebe.

JMO it's dumb for Tom Cruise to be in the lineup for the gala Jubilee Celebration.  He's not British and for him to share a stage with the talent of Helen Mirrin is a travesty.  He shouldn't even be allowed to hold her coat.   Someone pointed out there had to be a kickback payoff for him to even be considered.  UGH

He does have the Top Gun sequel coming out soon, maybe Prince Andrew asked Mummy for him b/c it would remind him of his popular pilot days.

I'm catching up on my Country Life issues.  A tongue-in-cheek prediction for the year is Daniel Craig comes back one more time as Bond, in "Platinum is Forever."

The "A Tiara A Day" account on instagram has a post on the new crown commissioned for her Jubilee, but I've not seen it talked about elsewhere.

I don't have an instagram account, so I'm not sure what they're claiming.  Maybe this "new crown" is wishful thinking.  I can't imagine the British royals needing another crown.  They have several already.  I also can't imagine they're commissioned a new tiara either.

First I’ve seen of this but here is the IG post. It’s not to wear according to this poster.

I sincerely hope she's not supposed to wear this on her head.

It occurs to me that QE2 may not have the best aesthetic taste! 

Consider:  This crown; Dismantling the Nizam of Hyderabad tiara to create the Burmese Ruby tiara; the Brazilian Aquamarine tiara (fantastic stones, not my favorite design); Prince Charles' Investiture Crown; the scarab brooch Prince Phillip designed...

Or, I should say, she and I don't share the same taste!   

However, we do share a deep love for all the jewelry and tiaras she inherited/is the custodian of!

I will forever fight that they should have just incoroprated the rubies into the Nizam.

Well, it was commissioned, but by who exactly?

I would love to be a fly on the wall and know what HM really thinks of it. . . . .

I can see where they were going with the globe, which by itself is an interesting piece of art.

As to the coronet, why not design something that could actually be worn, using various polished stones/minerals from all over England, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland. Wearable art.

Saw this on twitter. Looks like the grandkids practicing for the Jubilee.
