That Prince Charles is EXTREMELY picky about his Hard Boiled Eggs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This rumor about Prince Charles originated from the bookย โOn Royaltyโ by British broadcaster Jeremy Paxman. He wrote in his book that Prince Charlesโs chef makes him 7 hard boiled eggs for breakfast every morning, but the Prince only eats 1 egg that is up to his cooking standard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the question appeared on the Duke & Duchess of Cornwallโs website in their question box, the couple answered.ย โNo he doesnโt & never has done, at breakfast or at any other time.โ
Hello lovelies! Iโm finally back to Tumblr! I have been quite for a while on social media due a lot of personal things. I definitely plan to return but with a different outlook. Keep reading to find out what has been going on personally & for an account update! I missed my beautiful account and my followers so much! I hope everyone is staying safe, being productive & happy, & staying healthy! Iโm so glad to be back!
These past few months of 2020 have definitely been a lot for me! Itโs been an up & down rollercoaster of emotions but Iโm doing a lot better which means I finally feel like for once I am at peace with life &ย Iโm so incredibly positive & happy lately. Hereโs a little list of things Iโve been going through lately.
I finally finished up my Spring 2020 Semester which was so much fun & I absolutely loved the 2 courses I took. I took English Composition 2 & General Psychology this semester. I have to say the 2 women who were my professors were absolutely amazing despite the pandemic we are going through. My psychology professor especially deserves so much love & prayer right now as she sadly just lost her father to old age & Alzheimerโs & her mother just had a stroke a few days after losing her father. This semester has been difficult not only for my professors but for me & fellow classmates. Iโm so proud of my classmates, my professors, and me for pushing through & working hard.
ย I have sadly been not going to work due to Covid-19, as I work at a local charter school I attended in middle school (the school is pre-k through 8th & I attended 5th through 8th grade) so Iโve been missing my co-workers & my children a ton which doesnโt help my mental health most days. I did get to chat with my co-workers through Zoom Tuesday afternoon & they are doing quite well so it makes me happy to hear. We have no clue when the school will re-open so for now the school remains closed.
My younger brother & I are both going through breakup emotions. He just broke up with his girlfriend due to the relationship turning toxic & unhealthy. My boyfriend & I broke up due both of us needing to work on ourselves mentally, emotionally, & physically but we are still very good friends & we do plan to get back together hopefully in the future as he is an amazing man to have in my life.
I have not seen my family since Easter! With the social distancing my family has taken it seriously as most of my family is immune compromised so it has been difficult not to see them but I talk to them daily. We are all doing really well which is great despite everything going on.
There is going to be a HUGE account update!
Master Lists: I have organization in my account now! I have been trying to find a way to organize my account for so long & I finally found a way! I have 2 Master Lists so far but there will probably be more in the future! They are located below the bio of my account! I will also be redoing Hashtags on my account to make the organization of my account easier which also helps my followers find posts easier.
Editing: I will be editing most of my accountโs posts! I have better, more creative, & more formal styles to make my posts look more professional. That will also come along with the new posts (those will not be until editing is done).
Suggestions: I am willing to take any suggestions my followers are willing to give! I love making my account my own but also want to here what yโall want to see on my account!
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II begins her Commonwealth Tour of Jamaica, which was hosted by the Governor His Excellency The Most Honorableย Sir Howard Felix Hanlan Cooke.

The Delhi Durbar Tiara
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
๐ช๐๐๐๐๐/๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐๐๐๐:
โย Her Majesty Queen Mary (1910 - 1946):ย The tiara was designed for Her Majesty Queen Maryย as a fitting celebration of His Majesty King George V new status as King and Emperor.
โย Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother (1946 - 2002): The Queen was loaned the tiara fromย Her Majesty Queen Mary. The only time the Delhi Durbar Tiara was seen with the Queen was during her South Africa tour in 1947. ย It remained in her possession until her death.
โย Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (2002 - 2005): The tiara was passed down to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II when her motherย Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother passed away in 2002, along with the rest of the Queen Motherโs jewels.ย
โย Her Royal Highness Camilla The Duchess of Cornwall (2005): The Duchess was loaned the tiara from her mother-in-lawย Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for the Norwegian State Visit & also her first tiara appearance as a member of the British Royal Family.ย

The Delhi Durbar Tiara was designedย as a fitting celebration of His Majesty King George V new status as King and Emperor. The tiara was designed for Her Majesty Queen Mary in 1911 by Garrad.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
๐๐๐๐พ๐๐:
Theย Delhi Durbar Tiaraย was designed with remains of another tiara & some other smaller jewels - a tradition of Queen Mary when creating tiaras. The remains used were from a diadem tiara made for Queen Mary by Boucheron in 1901 after a visit to South Africa, when she had been given a present that consisted of diamonds from the De Beers Mine. The new Delhi Tiara was set in both platinum & gold but also had diamonds that formed lyres & s-scrolls that would overlap diamond festoons. The tiara is a complete circle that wraps around the head. The Delhi Durbar Tiara was originally set with 10 Cabochon Emerald Drops that are located on top of the tiara. These emeralds are a part of the famous Cambridge Emeralds set that once belonged to the grandmother of Queen Mary. Mary had acquire the emeralds after they were left to her late brotherย Prince Francis of Teckโs mistressย Ellen (neรฉ Constance) Needham. After Mary acquired the emeralds, they were used to create the tiara but were removed from the tiara in 1922. The emeralds were not sat aside though! The emeralds were used for the dangling emerald drops in theย The Grand Duchess Vladimir Tiara or they are used for uprights onย The Kent Diamond and Pearl Fringe Tiara left to The Duchess of Kent. The Cullinan III & IV Stones were used as temporary centerpieces of the tiara. The 94.4 carat pear-shaped Cullinan III stone was an upright in the top center & the 63.6 carat Cullinan IV stone was placed in the front center. The tiara could have the 2 stones that could be worn or could be worn with 1 stone. There is another centerpiece for the tiara, as no one has used theย Cullinan stones since Queen Mary. This tiara went under minor changes before Queen Mary loaned the tiara to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. While the tiara has not made an appearance after 60 years in the vault, it made a new appearance with Her Royal Highness Camilla The Duchess of Cornwall for the Norwegian State Visit. This tiara has always seemed in medium size when past queens have worn it, but itโs actually very large in size. The tiara has a layered effect that is created by the festoons on top of the scrolls.

โ 1911:ย Her Majesty Queen Maryโs official portrait for the Coronation of her husbandย His Majesty King George V. 2 Portraits of the Queen have been done wearing the tiara in 2 different styles: one portrait has the tiara with emeralds & the second portrait has theย Cullinan Stones.
โ 1947: South Africa Tour worn byย Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.ย
โ 2005: Norwegian State Visit worn by Her Royal Highness Camilla The Duchess of Cornwall

๐น๐๐ ๐น๐ถ๐ธ๐๐:
โ In 1910, it was decided that the Crown Jewels were not allowed to leave the United Kingdom.
โ Even though she had paid for her own hew crown his coronation, the Tiara was designed for Her Majesty Queen Mary. This meant that this tiara was not a part of the Crown Jewels.ย
โ Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II allowed The Delhi Durbar Tiara to be exhibited. After 60 years in the vault, the tiara would make a new appearance on a new member of the the royal family.
โ When The Duchess of Cornwall was seen wearing the tiara in 2005, it caused quite a problem with the public. 3 Queenโs have been possession of this crown & now a duchess marrying a prince (who is the heir to the throne) for both their 2nd marriages? The public did not agree & did not like the way the tiara look as people believed it had been altered. The tiara was not altered at all & is still a circlet style tiara.
