Favorite Princess

Well, hardly anyone voted, but it looks like Crown Princess Mary came out on top with 3 votes as your favorite princess. See the results at the left.

I have a monthly poll for favorite jewelry designer this month, as it is obvious that I did not follow up in a timely manner on my weekly "Favorite Princess" poll.

Here are some new pics of your favorite princess, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark:

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary with their four kids, from left: Prince Christian, Prince Vincent, Princess Josephine, and Princess Isabella. It is tradition in Denmark that kings' names alternate between Frederik and Christian, and since Crown Prince Frederik will be King Frederik X, hence his son being name Christian, who will one day be King Christian XI.

Mary is quite the style setter, and always wears the most flattering and amazing ball gowns.

With all the recent abdications lately, it makes me wonder when Mary and Frederik will be King and Queen of Denmark.

The beautiful as always Mary!

Did you know that Queen Mary wore a tiara every night for dinner, even when she and King George V were dining alone? And she had a sixth child, Prince Johnny, who was Tsarevich Alexei of Russia's age. Johnny had epilepsy and was shunned from the family, living with his nanny and dying at the age of 14. Just so you know.

A painting of Queen Mary wearing the Cambridge Lover's Knot tiara. It originally had upstanding pearl spikes, which were later replaced with large round diamonds.

Queen Mary on her Coronation day in 1911. Her dress is embroidered with emblems of the United Kingdom: thistles, roses, and clovers.

Queen Mary wearing the Delhi Durbar parure. The tiara used to be topped by pear cabochon emeralds, and the center could be interchanged with on of the Cullinan diamonds. The current tiara has been worn by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and it sits less as a crown (like in the above picture) and more as a tiara.

Queen Mary wearing the Grand Duchess Vladimir of Russia tiara. It was said to have been smuggled out of Russia after the revolution by being concealed in a bonnet. The pearl drops are interchangeable with cabochon pear emeralds.
