Emeralds are my birthstone and I have some earrings but they are not recommended for a ring because of the fragile nature of the stone. Synthetic emeralds are quite nice though.<br /><br />I was thinking that if the Queen didn't want the allegedly Russian tiara worn because the then owner might have been shot, it would then be "perfect" for Meghan. So much has been written about the shade being thrown at Meghan by the Queen, such as May 19th being when Anne Boleyn was executed, superstition that it is bad luck to get married in May for royal weddings, and the Sussex title last being held by an undesirable duchess, etc. That's why I think Eugenie wanted an emerald tiara from the start because of her reddish hair and she really did look lovely in it, and she is the Queen's granddaughter of course- first dibs. A lot of people compare Markle to Wallis Simpson, too, in the way she seems to control Harry.Snuggz Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13341062180809693841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-81250707358588128572018-11-09T12:30:42.922-08:002018-11-09T12:30:42.922-08:00Could be!

Madonna also has very few old friends -having discarded many along the way - and some strained family relationships.) <br /><br />By our late 30s, most of us have defined who we are and what works for us. That's true for Meghan too, and it seems like she's trying to transfer what worked for her in show business to the Royal business. It's not going well. <br /><br /><br />The more I see of Markle, the more I wish that Harry had chosen one of the millions of gorgeous African women with great educations and sophisticated manners. Wouldn't have to be an African royal, just someone from a solid, well-educated family, someone with Lupita's looks, Grace Kelly's bearing, plus charm and an irresistible smile. <br /><br />Only an inveterate racist could resist such a princess. <br /><br />In general, diversifying the British Royal Family is a great idea, and makes them more relevant to a multi-cultural Britain. <br /><br />Unfortunately, Harry picked the wrong woman. Wrong in so many ways.Now!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00778434851497787791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-15945751940248756722018-11-09T00:43:41.519-08:002018-11-09T00:43:41.519-08:00@Nutty i am loving your knowledge and perspective....@Nutty i am loving your knowledge and perspective.
