Isabel II
When: November 20, 1947.
Where: at Westminster Abbey.
With who: with Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh.
The jewelry: if the dress she chose for her wedding caught attention, the jewelry did not go unnoticed either. On her head, holding the veil, she wore the Queen Mary’s Fring tiara, a piece created for Queen Mary in 1919 and which broke shortly before Elizabeth II entered Westminster Abbey (if you look closely you can see a small gap in the front). Also very striking was the pearl necklace, which was actually two different pieces that she decided to wear together: one from Queen Anne and the other from Queen Caroline. The very discreet earrings were a gift received by King George III’s daughter, Princess Mary, Duchess of Gloucester. The originals were much larger, but when Queen Mary inherited them, she separated them and gave the top part to Elizabeth II on her 21st birthday.
