Tiaras at Ajuda Palace

Last summer the new Royal Treasury Museum within Ajuda National Palace in Lisbon was opened to display the Portuguese Crown Jewels. The new museum was built using insurance money from the 2002 theft of some of the jewels when they were on exhibition in the Netherlands and was part of a larger restoration project of the palace. Find out more about visiting here.

The museum features several tiaras and a lot of other jewelry like the emerald bow brooch below that I just had to include.

Queen Maria Pia's Diadem of Stars by Estêvão de Sousa, 1868 with later alterations

Queen Maria Pia's Laurel Wreath Tiara by Castellani, circa 1862 as a wedding gift from the city of Rome

Queen Maria Pia's Coral Tiara, circa 1862 as a wedding gift from the city of Naples

Queen Maria II's Sapphire Tiara, 1840s - This tiara is not part of the crown jewels and was sold at Christie's in 2021 for 1,948,558 USD but the new owner has loaned it to the museum.

Infanta Maria Ana's Emerald Bow Brooch, mid 1700s with later tassel addition

I have two husbands, and that causes me much trouble and torment of the soul, for I may be with childe by one, and have thus given horns to th'other, who is also a lady, and we have been married first. Now she won't writ to me as we did as girles, and my lawfull husband, I have not yett told, for my condition is not certain yet. I cannot talk in honesty whith one, and with the other husband, neither.

'Tis awkward to speak of this, but if not to your friends online, to whom can one talk of such troubles?

There are thyngs the governement, the Kinge in particular, do not wish you to know about: the Royall Successioun is all made false, for instead of the D. of Yorke, the True Heir to H. M. the Kinge shoud be the Duke of Monmouth, for he was lawfully begot by the Kinge, then married in secret to the late Lucy Walter, and must therefore be accepted as Prince before his uncle the D. of Yorke, who is a Catholick.

All ye good people should speak up against this injustice! If you cannot pledge your life (if there be a fight), or some shillings to the cause, you may help it greatly alreadie by re-bloggying, and bringing this mater to greater awareness!

Why cannot a man haue normall nepheues. One, @je-maintiendrai, is nigh a Puritan in his Protestant fervour, and th'other dispreads falsehoods about the monarcky (and the Roman Church).

I reported the other one, @dukeofm for his libel, in hopes he shall be deactivated, alas th'other I can but block, and not banished from this place. I also hope my daughter the Princess shall divorce him speedilye.

Tonight, I hope to forgett all about this vexing bussinesse by thinking on going a-stag hunting tomorrow with H. M. my brothere, the King.

Romanov Rare Footage Analysis:

This footage was taken while the Romanov family was visiting Romania in 1914. In the foreground we see Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna bouncing up and down in a silly way. One might wonder why she is doing this. To find out we have to analyze this piece of rare footage.

Anastasia seems to be talking to someone in a white dress and a hat on. That person is who i believe to be Princess Marie “Mignon” of Romania (later Queen of Serbia). In the background of this footage we also see Queen Elisabeth of Romania (far right with baby Prince Mircea of Romania being held by someone), Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna, and Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna (talking with people), and Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna who we see towards the end of the clip holding what looks like a Brownie Box Camera which the Romanov family used to take pictures.

Now what are Anastasia and Mignon doing? My belief is that Mignon went to greet Anastasia by naturally curtsying (which was the correct protocol) and Anastasia also did the same thing at the same time. I think Anastasia was doing several small curtsies afterward to kind of make a joke out of the moment (hence the giddy bouncing we see in the footage). OTMAA always felt embarrassed or shocked when close members of their family, or anyone at all, treated them with their normal official rules that the protocol demanded (aka curtsying or using official titles). Anastasia probably wanted to break the ice in that moment or make a funny joke of the curtsying at the same time thing. Also we can see the two girls having a good laugh so that could also be why Anastasia is bouncing so much. In the end of the footage we see Tatiana come up to the two girls with her camera ready and it looks like she is going to take a picture of them. The following photo could be the one she took but I’m not sure that it is.

Here are some other photos from the day that this footage was taken:

Royal Tiara Challenge 2024

Day 10 - Favorite Pearl Tiara

Grand Duchess Vladimir Tiara, Pearl option

Smuggled out of Russia following the assassination of Tsar Nicholas II and his family. It belonged to the... Grand Duchess Vladimir, the wife of the Tsar’s uncle, Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich of Russia.

Known for her impressive collection of jewels (she was dubbed the ‘grandest of Grand Duchesses’)... the tiara was made for the Duchess by court jewellers Bolin. When the Tsar was forced to abdicate in favour of Lenin’s new Communist government in 1917, she hid with her sons in the Caucasus, hoping for a coup to help one of them gain control over the county.

Following her death in 1920, the Duchess’s pieces were sold to support her children, with many European royals buying pieces. Queen Mary purchased the Vladimir tiara...

The Vladimir tiara had been damaged in transit, so Queen Mary elected to have it repaired by Garrard, also adding 15 of her own emeralds, plus a mechanism to make it possible to switch from emeralds to the original pearls easily...

“It's interesting the Tsar Alexander II of Russia was originally wanted to marry his eldest son to Princess Alexandra of Denmark ( later Queen Alexandra of United Kingdom) , Queen Victoria got wind of it and send her own son to court Alexandra. I think if Alexandra was married in the Russian family she would have a much happier life , I feel she and Sacha ( Alexander III) would get along well as she was much more passive than her younger sister Dagmar she wouldn't meddle in politics,” - Submitted by queenempath007
