Just finished my filming slot for BBC1 News the significance of the jewels that were worn today only endorsed what this magical wedding was all about. The Queen was wearing the Richmond Brooch (without its pearl drop) which was given to the future Queen Mary at her wedding in 1893. The Queen adored her grandmother who she found was such a support to her, the fact that she lent Meghan the tiara belonging to someone who meant so much to her (which was made in 1932 for Queen Mary to accommodate the brooch that was also given to Mary in 1883 )was endorsing how Meghan has been accepted with open arms into The Family, that has such a heritage, steeped in tradition is wonderful. @bbcone @vancleefarpels @binagoenkaofficial @cassandragoad #windsorcastle #royalwedding #harryandmeghan #tiaras #diamonds #heritage #acceptance now getting on my motorbike!

Well had an early start and have arrived by motorbike to Long Walk, Windsor Castle for the Royal Wedding ... will be commenting for BBC 1 later today about the Jewellery so keep watching .. great atmosphere and all very exciting... and the sun is shining ! Everyone is wondering what Tiara Meghan will be wearing .. there are about 12 tiaras that are in use by The Royal family plus the ones in the royal collection, so lots to choose from @bbcone #windsorcastle #diamonds #windsor #royalwedding #harryandmeghan #whattiarawillmeghanwear #tiara
Wedding fever is fast descending and I have put my pennies worth in by talking about Royal engagement rings and Tiaras ! Showing tomorrow on BBC1 Royal Recipes at 3.45 am with Micheal Burke. Will Megan wear one and if so what will it be ?? Queen Victoria wore a garland of orange flower blossom for her wedding so who knows ! Thank you to Bentley and Skinner for lending me some fine examples. Great day was had @bentley_skinner #royalwedding #harryandmeghan #tiaras #engagementrings #windsorcastle #windsor #diamonds #royalrecipesweddingspecial @bbcone #3.45pm
In Antwerp judging the first competition of creative contemporary jewellery sponsored by the Chinese MIC Contest Organising Committee .. interesting debate about which piece is going to win !! #antwerp #contemporary #jewellery #wearableart #ornot #creativity #innovative #culturalexchanges #chinese
Well I never .. what an amazing over the top, sumptuous place the newly refurbished Annabel’s is .. this is the Flower Room which one can hire ... Gave a talk in the next door room, which is decorated equally luxurious ...just had to share this with you.. wouldn’t like to be the one that has to dust all those flowers on the walls though ! @annabelsmayfair #berkeleysquare #wanttobeamember #london #interiordesign #luxury #sumptuous #overthetopfabulousness #privateclub
