Letizia, Doña Sofía and Kate: their nods to Isabel II, golden brooches to their presence at the funerals

the woman from Philip VIthrough different channels, has sometimes sent a message, a complaint, a criticism so that the media pay more attention to the nature, importance and depth of his public work and less to his hairstyle, his dress, whether it is recycled or not, or its accessories.

However, it is usual that Letizia do what the specialized press calls “winks” at certain events. Example: this Sunday, dressed in deep mourning, Queen Letizia landed in London in a black Hugo Boss dress but, if we assume that going in mourning was more than predictable, the news that caught our attention is that, on his chest, he looked a brooch that belonged to Victoria Eugenia, the wife of Alfonso XIII, without a doubt, the consort who strengthened more than any other ascendant of Philip VI ties with the Windsors. And also let’s not forget that the deceased Isabel II, In addition to her hats and her colorful dresses and coats, she almost always wore one of her dazzling brooches.

The first appearance of the Emeritus was in Buckingham, when they got off one of the authorities buses at the main gate of the palace. Doña Sofía, in mourning, also wore another nod to the Windsors: the pearl necklace from which a cabochon ruby ​​hangs and surrounded by two rows of diamonds, a jewel she inherited from her mother, Queen Federica of Greece, the Duke’s cousin. from Edinburgh.

Letizia and Dona Sofia They are not the only royals who made use of jewelry as a “wink” to aunt “Aunt Lilibeth”: Kate Middleton, the new Princess of Wales, paid tribute to her husband’s grandmother wearing a pearl brooch that belonged to Elizabeth’s collection II.

So if the royal he winks and the press doesn’t pick it up, acting as a sounding board for the regal gesture, what’s the point? And if we talk about accessories, are we distorting, as is noted in certain circles, the true, solemn and important work of the person who wears the brooch or necklace in question?

The anecdote of the brooch is a breast of contradiction if we look at the images that overwhelm us these days around Buckingham Palace and other scenarios that host the events that occurred after the death of Elizabeth II. In the face of abundance Let’s place an autonomous camera in our patriotic representatives in this act.
