Snap Judgment: Europe's Royals Love Tiaras and Pink
LatestWhile the British royal family prefers to wear ridiculously elaborate hats to weddings, the rest of northern Europe’s royal women prefer the good-old-fashioned tiara. Princesses and tiaras are a natural fit. Besides, there’s no better way to display wealth, power, and lineage more meaningfully than casually wearing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry on your head. Divine right and whatnot.
The women of Europe’s dynastic families showed off their tiaras and penchant for pink at yesterday’s wedding of Prince Carl Philip of Sweden to model Sofia Hellqvist.
