It’s one of my all time favourite royal
wedding dresses and just a glimpse of it can make me feel ever so
slightly emotional. For not only was the pale blue gown worn by a
lass called Lilian from Swansea on a cold, December day in 1976 a
masterclass in elegance and chic, it was also the wedding dress of
a princess decades in the making. It’s now forty four years since
Prince Bertil of…
He created some of the most famous royal
looks of the 20th century and he’s still producing talked about

It was well hidden from view until the
official Coronation photographs appeared but the necklace worn by
the Princess of Wales on the day King Charles III was crowned

sparkling set of diamonds, often referred to as the King George VI
Festoon Necklace, was a gift from a father to a daughter, from a
king to an heir and it became a…

It’s perhaps the most famous and talked

April 1923 have entered regal folklore after the bride used them to
begin a royal wedding tradition known…

Royal history is peppered with stand out
women. In the annals of all monarchies are queens and princesses
who packed a punch and made a mark. But there is still a tendency
to categorise the girls as the also rans, the second bests, the
pretty and sometimes witty but when…
In a week where speculation over the
Royal Family reached new heights, or should we say lows in some
cases, it was left to The Queen to set some sparkle on the
