See Queen Mary of Teck’s Favorite Diamond Tiaras, Including Pieces Worn by the Late Queen Elizabeth and Princess Anne

A formidable character who became the matriarch of the Royal Family, Princess Victoria Mary of Teck was born at Kensington Palace on May 26, 1867 in the same room where Queen Victoria (who was a distant cousin) had been born 40 years prior. In 1891, Mary, then 24, was betrothed to her second cousin once removed, Prince Albert, eldest son of the then Prince of Wales (future King Edward VII). However, six weeks after the announcement of the engagement, Prince Albert died unexpectedly during an influenza pandemic. The following year, Mary became engaged to his only surviving brother, Prince George (future King George V), and married him in 1893. When he became Prince of Wales in 1901, she became Princess of Wales. In 1910, following the death of his father, King Edward VII, King George V acceded to the throne and Mary became Queen. In 1936, her husband died, and was succeeded by her son, Edward VIII, until he abdicated in favor of his brother, George VI, in order to marry Wallis Simpson. When Queen Mary’s granddaughters, Princess …

A larger ceremony is planned in Palermo, Italy, in the coming days.

Lipa wore a Daniel Roseberry-designed Schiaparelli couture suit dress, shoes reportedly by Christian Louboutin, and a white Stephen Jones hat, People reports. Turner was sharply dressed as well, in a navy suit and tie. Rumors of a romance between Lipa and Turner caught fire in January 2024, when the couple was spotted together at the afterparty for Turner-starring …

It’s the only Kindle with writing capabilities and comes with an included stylus pen that magnetically attaches to the side of the e-reader; it’s ready for all your handwritten thoughts. The pen moves nicely across the screen, mimicking the texture of writing on paper. In addition to a library of books, the Kindle Scribe also comes with a journal section where you can take notes.

Strengthen and tone your lower body in just 10 minutes with this trainer’s four favorite exercises

Strengthen and tone your lower body in just 10 minutes with this trainer’s four favorite exercises

I like to exercise for the benefits it brings me, but I could really do with it taking less time, so I set about finding out how expert trainers would work out if they only had 10 minutes. NASM-certified trainer Kelsey Sherwin, who is based at Raeya Wellness in LA, answered the call and told me that if she were programming a 10-minute workout for the lower body, she’d include a little bit of everything: “single-leg variations and both legs,” so lunges and squats; plus “some kind of hamstring workout”. And that’s just what she’s done with the workout below. It begins with a bilateral movement (the squat) followed by the single-leg, or unilateral, movement (the lunge). The hip hinge Romanian deadlift variation targets the hamstrings, and things are wrapped up with a glute isolation move (kickback).

These are my favorite gadgets to add ambiance to your home, and they’re all on sale

Displaying photos of family, friends, and memories makes any home more personal, but an excess of personal photos can distract from your home’s overall decor. To still display those personal touches, I use a digital photo frame that blends in nicely with my home decor while not being overbearing, given a wall full of family photos.  Review: As a millennial, I love this digital photo frame to display memories The Nixplay Touch Digital Photo Frame is one I really like because friends and family can easily share photos with it, and it automatically rotates photos based on whether they’re horizontal or vertical. I also like the playlist feature, so that, for example, around Christmas time, I can display all our holiday memories in one album.  Source link

How the RHS Chelsea Flower Show Became King Charles’s Favorite Social Engagement

How the RHS Chelsea Flower Show Became King Charles’s Favorite Social Engagement

The Chelsea Flower Show has taken place annually since 1913, though it took a few years off for the 20th century’s two world wars and was held virtually for the COVID-19 pandemic. For most of her 70-year reign, Queen Elizabeth II was an enthusiastic attendant, donning bright pastel suits to take a look at the newest floral trends. She would often attend with both the Queen Mother and her sister, Princess Margaret. The trio’s outing at the 2001 version of the show was one of their last public engagements together before both Margaret and the Queen Mother died in 2002. The younger generation has also gotten in on the action. In 2015, Prince Harry installed an African-themed garden at the show to raise funds for his HIV/AIDS charity Sentebale. Kate Middleton made her debut at the Chelsea Flower Show back in 2016, when the show had a special exhibition in honor of Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday, and in 2019, she collaborated on a “Back to Nature” themed garden. The king is an avid gardener himself. …

I impulse-bought a jump rope and now it’s my favorite way to exercise—here’s why

I impulse-bought a jump rope and now it’s my favorite way to exercise—here’s why

Of all the impulsive purchases I’ve ever made, picking up a jump rope at the convenience store has probably been the best for my health (and my bank balance). For just $2, I’ve found a way to enjoy cardio that fits in my back pocket. It was partly a sense of nostalgia that made me take the jump rope to the checkout. Latest Videos From You may like When I think back to my childhood self, I envy her seemingly boundless reserves of energy. I climbed, jumped, ran and played endlessly—all without getting tired or experiencing stiffness the next day. There was also something else on my mind. A friend and walking buddy of mine has just had a hip replacement in her early 60s and—although I’m only 31—it’s got me seriously thinking about my bone health. Watching her recover from this major procedure has inspired me to work harder to protect my bones long before I hit menopause, when hormonal changes start to affect bone health. And with research showing that jump training can …
