1887 & 1897 Jubilees
« on: June 29, 2008, 09:48:32 PM »
I found this description of an opera event during QV's Diamond Jubilee:

The Princess of Wales wore white satin embroidered with silver with a diamond tiara and pearl necklace
The Princess of Naples wore 'wonderful' diamonds
Grand Duchess Serge (Ella) wore the 'largest emerald in the world'
