When it comes to headwear, the Duchess of
Cornwall never disappoints. Her love of oversized, wide-brimmed
hats trimmed with festive feathers, flowers, and swirls always
makes for an interesting headpiece moment. She is certainly not
afraid to “go for it” and in my opinion, the bigger, the better
when it comes to hats. Let’s take a look back at some of Camilla’s
best hat moments over…
In what should be a week of celebrations,

We know that rings were important to
Queen Victoria because of the numerous references to them which she
made in her journal and the fact that they feature so strongly in
her photographic legacy. Her hands are literally covered with them.

time-honoured connections with royalty that exist into the present

Queen Victoria’s exquisitely woven
wedding dress of Spitalfields silk satin survives. Her wedding veil
was placed over her face as her body was dressed and prepared for
