Weekend Bonus: The Luxembourg Empire Tiara


Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg (1896-1985) wears the Empire Tiara at her wedding to Prince Felix of Bourbon-Parma (1893-1970) in 1919

  1. The tiara is obviously a Big Gun with a capital Big, but it's also very ornate and lovely. But your post prompted me to google the Grand Duchess rather than the tiara. What a fascinating lady. Amazing story.

  2. It's like wearing a cathedral on the head! BIG GUN, indeed!

    LOVE this!

  3. Charlotte was the only one who could pull this baby off, except for possibly J-C in her younger days. By the mid-70s it made her look like she could topple over at any moment. M-T doesn't have the height to do it justice.

  4. Wooah! This is like having a tall building on top of ones head!
