Did Queen Victoria wear the George III tiara?
Janice writes: “Do you know if the tiara Emily Blunt wears [The Young Victoria] is a replica of the one … King George III gave to his wife Queen Charlotte? If so, do you know if Queen Victoria would have ever worn it?”
The tiara worn by actress Emily Blunt in the film is indeed a replica of that fringe tiara. The real Queen Victoria wore the George III tiara for the famous Winterhalter portrait (seen below).
Thanks to Andrew Cusack, who explains it beautifully.
Stand Out Style: A look at Letizia’s shoes
When your husband is 6′5″, you may feel a bit dwarfed. So what do you do? Crown Princess Letizia knows.
Letizia, a former newsreader, married Crown Prince Felipe of Spain on May 22, 2004. Since then, the already elegant Leti has had her image honed to perfection. That includes even making the height ratio attractive.
To close the gap in their height difference, special shoes are designed for Her Highness to maximize her stature. In the photo below – during a visit with the Sarkozys – you will notice that the princess’ shoes have ‘boosters’ on them:

The darker colors look more stylish than the lighter colors. I wouldn’t mind wearing a pair in deep navy blue, myself. To the rest of the ladies in the audience: would you wear these shoes?
