Royal Thread the Second- Tiaras Optional! ?

I have three!

Anniebach

Glad there is a second thread.

I have a tiara, !

I know you do Annie as I saw you wearing it last week when you put the bins out.?

Sapphires or amethysts. I like opals, but every time I wore my opal pendant, someone would tell me that opals were unlucky. It quite spoiled my enjoyment.

My Dad was a mining engineer, for a time he worked in the diamond mines of Northern Rhodesia, now Zambia. We were then living in Liverpool. He smuggled a diamond home in his shoe, I know he was a very norty boy. He wanted to have a ring made for my mother who was such a goody two shoes and terrified of him being arrested that, on bin collection day, she wrapped in newspaper and put it in the bin. I remember there was a huge row that went on for months until he went away again.
I wonder if it was ever found.

'Ethical diamonds' is usually a euphemism for man made.
But thank you for info on CD. Maybe not in her case case?

I’m a garnet girl too

My birthstone too!
Much nicer than rubies I think.
I don’t really get the popularity of emeralds and rubies

Garnet for me its my birthstone too.

What is everyone’s favourite gemstone?
I like fire opals, but you don’t see them very often

Namsnanny not all diamonds are unethical
Funnily enough, Chelsy Davy (remember her?) has a company in South Africa which deals with ethical gems
I wrote on Royal Chat 1 that Chelsy seems to be living the life that Harry wanted.
And her dad is a billionaire. That’s bound to come in handy.

Calendargirl ‘pigeon pair’ - never heard of that before!
Do pigeons really do that, I wonder?

You can have Mossinite if you like. (Not sure of spelling sorry.)

Sorry but tiaras are a nono. Blood diamonds an' all.

I still want a tiara. I don’t have any children. I don’t drive, smoke, burn coal or have any single use plastic. I don’t mind having a recycled tiara.

Does one require a special kind of toothbrush when cleaning a tiara, Orlin has just told me off for using his, says I’ll end up with bits of yesterday’s lunch between the diamonds and sapphires.

^As it is, they have two lovely children, a boy and a girl, and I know this decision to remain at two was made before Lili’s birth.^

Aren't they lucky!
Being able to have the planned and planet-friendly two childre, one of each as well.

Not everyone is so lucky.

Yes Callistemon I agree entirely. I was emphasising that Harry had spoken about only having two children some time ago, before they knew they were fortunate enough to have a ‘pigeon pair’.

Still think that Meghan’s age played a part in their thinking, never mind saving the planet.

That's it then. As a direct result of this item (and a couple of other practicalities) there'll be no more children for me. I'd prefer a halo to a tiara, by the way.

???

Me neither.
If I do have more children, watch out for me in the news!

Lucca, Yes the charity.

The charity you mean ?

If they did have a little accident will they have to give the £500
back ?

harry and meghan pledged to have only two children in one of their many environment speeches.

lets hope they don't have any little accidents.

Well I have three children and four grandchildren, and it appears there will be no more grandchildren, and certainly no more children! Where do I come in the scheme of things? Do I get a tiara, earrings, or a cheque?

Ah yes, they were my figures when I was told I’d certainly, definitely, absolutely, have no more grandchildren.

I now have 6.

Dare I suggest that stopping at 2 children just might have something to do with Meghan’s age? She is 40 next month, not old I know, but if she had been a few years younger, they might have thought about adding to their family.
