Pearl tears have become the most legendary crown in the British royal family, and only the crown of pearl tears, as its name suggests, has been shed by the owners who have worn it!
As a world-famous celebrity, Princess Kate, the pillar of the British royal family, has always had a very good reputation, it is easy to deal with the world, and has a high reputation in the world. Princess Kate has just been revealed to have undergone abdominal surgery and is cancer-free.
This fact arouses people's curiosity, they can only guess what serious illness Princess Kate suffers from, Princess Kate in the eyes of the world is a very smart and decisive woman, after all, a woman with three children, to maintain the complex interpersonal relationships of the royal family, but also to participate in official affairs in a glamorous manner, no matter when and where is so perfect, how can such a woman suddenly become seriously ill in her life?
When Princess Kate attends official events, she often wears a gorgeous and dazzling pearl and diamond tiara, which once belonged to Queen Mary's crown of pearls and tears.
This crown also has a unique origin, the late Queen Elizabeth II's grandmother Queen Mary, is quiet and serious, few things can make people happy, but the queen has a unique hobby, that is, like jewelry, probably because when she was a child, her family was poor and there was no jewelry to wear, so later after becoming the Queen of England, her love for jewelry can be said to be refusal, whether it is a treasure stolen by others, or bought by others, Queen Mary will see it in her eyes and always try to get it.
Queen Mary. Queen Mary likes jewelry, and it can be seen from the many crazy things she has done that the royal family has a lot of jewelry, because the British royal family, like the empire on which the sun never sets, is even richer, so many royal families and aristocratic branches borrow jewelry from the queen to wear, and other queens and princesses are usually borrowed jewelry, and they are embarrassed to ask others to return it, but Queen Mary, no matter who borrowed her jewelry, will write to everyone to come back, and return it.
Even her son, Edward, Prince of Wales, was no exception. At first, she had high hopes for this son as the eldest son, and received a lot of jewelry, but when her son married Mrs. Simpson, Queen Mary was terrified, and she asked for all the jewels dedicated to her son, except for a pearl necklace, which became Mrs. Simpson's only royal jewel.
Mrs. Simpson and her pearl necklace.
In 1913, Queen Mary's world treasures coveted one of her grandmother's jewels - Augusta, Duchess of Cambridge, had a very beautiful crown set with 38 pear-shaped pearls, but the owner of the crown was her aunt, which was private property and was not borrowed.
Maria coveted it for a long time, and she didn't give her the crown until her aunt died, she was the Mary of the Queen of England, not the childhood Maria, the little princess who had been wronged, she didn't have to envy other people's jewels and crowns, she couldn't get her aunt's pearls and tears crowns, she could make her own crowns, and then make her own favorite pearl crowns.
So Queen Mary commissioned the English jeweler Garrard to design a new crown based on her prototype, the Cambridge Lover's Knot Crown.
The base of the crown is still silver, and the original design is inlaid with 38 natural pearls in the shape of teardrops, which is also called because the shape is exactly modeled on the previous crown"Pearl tears"。
However, the upper pearls were free to be removed, and when Queen Mary's husband gave her a batch of fine diamonds, she replaced the upper pearls with diamonds, giving her the 19 pearls in existence. The removed pearls are designed into a beautiful set of pearl jewelry that complements the crown.
There is also a charming heart in the crown"Lover's knot", which originated from the double knot used as a wedding ring in Roman times.
It's hard to say if Queen Mary really liked the Pearl Tears Crown – after all, the bejeweled Queen Mary only wore the Pearl Tears Crown a few times – but the curse of the crown never seems to have stopped.
Queen Mary wears the elaborate crown of pearl tears, as the Queen of England and the Queen of India, she first lost the title of Queen of India, first lost her husband, then lost her son, her eldest son was not close to her, and her only daughter had a cold relationship with her, if it weren't for her granddaughter Elizabeth who was more competitive and filial, Queen Mary really couldn't escape the sorrow of her old age!
After Queen Mary's death, her beloved granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth, inherited most of her jewels, including the crown of pearl tears.
In the fifties and sixties of the last century, the queen often wore this crown of pearl teardrops, but at that time, the queen's husband, Prince Philip, was often exposed to cheating scandals.
When Queen Elizabeth died, both Wales and Scotland were in the process of independence, and who knows how long the peace and prosperity of Great Britain would last some time ago?
After the 60s of the 20th century, Queen Elizabeth no longer wore the crown of pearl tears, and her relationship with Prince Philip became closer, giving birth to Prince Andrew and Prince Edward successively.
The crown of pearl tears became the treasure at the bottom of the queen's crushing box, until another beautiful woman, Diana, appeared.
Although belonging to the aristocracy, Princess Diana's father was the 9th Earl of Spencer, and his family did not have much jewelry for Diana to wear, so the queen carefully selected several crowns as wedding gifts for her daughter-in-law in order to show her welcome to her new daughter-in-law.
Princess Diana is naturally beautiful and has a sweet temperament, her tall figure is a natural hanger, and wearing a pearl crown makes her even more radiant.
With a famous princess, the Honorary Crown of Pearl Tears is also famous.
The queen only gave Princess Diana a pearl crown, so when Princess Diana attended an official event, she had to choose between the pearl crown and the crown of the Spencer family of her mother's family.
The simple-minded Princess Diana often wore it at various ceremonies, family banquets, and foreign visits, and it can be said that it was her iconic crown, and the only real crown of Princess Diana during her 15-year career as a princess was her pearl tears.
After the divorce, Diana thought she could regain her freedom, but the curse of pearl tears accompanied her for the rest of her life. The year after the divorce, Princess Diana died in Paris, France, and the pearl tears were like Princess Diana's tears, the tears were gone, and the people were gone.
After the death of Princess Diana, the pearl teardrop crown once again became a treasure of the British royal family.
It wasn't until many years later that Prince William's wife, Princess Kate, turned out the royal jewels and returned the string of pearls that the queen kindly lent to her granddaughter.
As a commoner girl, Princess Kate is a veritable first Cinderella of the British royal family, she has great respect for her mother-in-law, Princess Diana, and the crown of pearl tears can be said to be the inheritance between two generations of princesses, and the public rejoices in the continuation of Princess Diana's legacy.
Who knows that after Princess Kate wears this crown, the curse is still not lifted, I hope Princess Kate will ** as soon as possible!
