Why is she called “strange”? Because she is a very contradictory person. She is the eldest daughter of Duke Andrew of York and Princess Sarah, but her parents divorced when she was seven years old. She was diagnosed with dyslexia at that time. It is conceivable that her childhood was not happy. She once revealed in an interview after she grew up that she had suffered bullying and discrimination.

She is a person who values ​​privacy and always keeps a low profile. Her Instagram is always visible to friends. If you want to see her latest news, you can only go to her husband, mother or sister’s Instagram. But she never keeps a low profile every time she makes a public appearance. Although she has been mocked as a “fashion black hole”, she has also left a deep impression on the public with her unique image of a “hat maniac”. Indeed, it is difficult to comment on her early hat style.

There are also her favorite printed dresses. Because she has a large frame, some of her bright floral patterns have been criticized by the public as “rustic”. Compared with the elegant Kate and fashionable Meghan, she can really be called the “fashion negative example” in the royal family. And her life is not as smooth as people imagine the life of a “princess”.

Princess Beatrice was very close to Queen Elizabeth II, and when her parents divorced, the Queen set up a trust fund of £1.3 million for her and her sister. But Beatrice married a controversial husband, real estate developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who betrayed his ex-fiancee and had an illegitimate child, despite the Queen’s objections.

And her troublesome “bad father” was entangled in various scandals and lawsuits, which made the two sisters keep a low profile. But no matter how Charles arranged her (removing her from the list of core royal family members when he first succeeded to the throne, and letting her temporarily fill the vacancy when there was a health crisis now), Beatrice showed her loyalty to the royal family and filled the vacancy with due diligence.

Her image in the public eye has become more and more elegant, and she has persisted in dressing in her own style. Her hats are still colorful, her printed dresses are still lively and bright, and she has not even taken any cosmetic intervention to change her “big eyes” and “buck teeth” that the media has criticized. In general, Princess Beatrice chose to stick to herself, but only adjusted and optimized the details, and counterattacked to become the number one on the list of “Best Dressed of the Year”. What is the secret of her success? The delicate and small jewelry must have contributed a lot, and her matching skills are really worth learning and reference.

This tiara has a long history. It was originally a necklace made by Collingwood in 1893 as a wedding gift from Queen Victoria to Queen Mary. In 1919, Queen Mary commissioned Garrard to transform the necklace into a tassel tiara, which was quite popular at the time.

Queen Mary gave the tiara to her daughter-in-law, Queen Elizabeth, in 1936. When Queen Elizabeth II married, she chose the tiara from her mother as her wedding tiara, and as if it had become a tradition, her daughter Princess Anne also chose the tiara when she got married.

But the younger generation of royal family members are quite individual when choosing wedding tiaras. Kate, Meghan and Eugenie all chose very niche tiaras that are rarely seen, focusing on a sense of freshness. Only Beatrice, who has the closest relationship with Queen Elizabeth II, chose this tassel tiara again.

Not only that, her dress was also borrowed from her grandmother’s wardrobe and then modified. The designer of the dress, Norman Hartnell, was her grandmother’s former wedding dress designer. Even the most important wedding rings and engagement rings of Beatrice followed the classical beauty design.

Both of her rings are from jewelry designer brand Shaun Leane, and were designed with the help of her husband Eduardo, who combined his favorite Art Deco style with the princess’s favorite Victorian style to create a new work that is quite similar to the Queen’s engagement ring.

Both engagement rings feature a distinct Art Deco style – the use of baguette-cut diamonds. The Queen’s is set with eight prongs and features a three-carat diamond, while Princess Beatrice’s is set with six prongs and features a 2.5-carat diamond as the centre stone.

Princess Beatrice’s wedding ring is more modern, with a curved design that fits perfectly with her engagement ring, making it more beautiful and comfortable. The Queen’s wedding ring is more traditional, made of Welsh gold, the gold used by the British royal family.

In addition to the wedding tiara, Princess Beatrice has also worn another tiara – the York Diamond Tiara that belonged to her mother. This is also a wedding tiara. It was commissioned by Queen Elizabeth II for the wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah in 1986 and was also a wedding gift from the Queen to Princess Sarah.

Although Sarah retained her title of Duchess due to the divorce, she last wore the tiara in public in 2001. Therefore, before Princess Beatrice wore the York Diamond Tiara to attend the wedding of the Crown Prince of Jordan in 2023, many people speculated that the tiara had been sold.

Princess Beatrice showed everyone that the crown is still as bright as ever. Its classic and elegant shape complements her low-key and restrained style. It seems that it can show the style of the crown more than her mother. Of course, not everyone can borrow an ancestral crown with a sense of story when getting married, but it is not wrong to follow the principle of inheritance + classics, especially when appearing on important occasions. The choice of jewelry actually shows your personality. Just like Princess Beatrice, her choice of crown and wedding ring all show her emphasis on family affection.

Princess Beatrice had her ears pierced this spring. Before that, she only wore ear clips. As you know, the styles she wore were much less. So her jewelry was usually on her hands, especially various bracelets and bangles. The three thin bracelets she wore at the wedding were her representative style and appeared most frequently.

Don’t underestimate these three bracelets, all of which are gold and diamond-encrusted, and the Amali Jewelry bracelet is inlaid with blue diamonds. Many people find it difficult to stack thin bracelets because they easily get tangled together. But Princess Beatrice obviously likes this feeling of being tied together, casual but with details.

She likes this soft and lingering feeling, and sometimes she will deliberately match it with a Charm bracelet, mixing small amulets and sparkling diamonds together to make it more varied.

Sometimes she also matches soft bracelets with hard bracelets to highlight the combination of hardness and softness. Her favorite bracelet is undoubtedly the Cartier classic Juste un Clou bracelet given by her husband. She almost never takes it off and can match it with any style. It can only be said that the classic style that can be popular for several eras is really good, no matter day or night, even in black and white photos.

She also likes the cuff bracelet with a sense of design, but it is also a delicate style, focusing on a soft atmosphere. She has a hollow carved gold cuff bracelet, which looks a bit dramatic, but it is actually a versatile design that can be matched with evening dresses and daytime suits.

Sometimes she will match it with ear clips, but she also prefers minimalist designs. For example, the Art Deco diamond earrings she often wears are composed entirely of dots and lines, with baguette-cut and round brilliant-cut diamonds forming three smooth lines, which are suitable for almost all of her looks.

Whether worn with a tiara for a state visit, a hat for a daytime event, or on the red carpet, these earrings will go with any dress, classic, elegant, or modern. That’s the beauty of minimalist design, and since Princess Beatrice finally got her ears pierced this year, we can expect her to show off more beautiful, versatile earrings.

For example, the latest pair of Garrard earrings are very basic Hoop styles, but inlaid with pink sapphires, red tourmalines and pink opals, with subtle color and texture changes as design points. It is said to be a gift from her husband, worth 37,000 pounds.

For example, the Cartier Juste un Clou bracelet that she never takes off. Although it seems that everyone can buy the same model, it is customized and engraved with great detail. The initials of her husband’s name, “E”, are engraved on the head of the “nail”. Is this display of affection covert enough?

Princess Beatrice’s English name is Beatrice, so her nickname is BEA. She customized many bags with initials to match her Charm letter bracelet. Whether it is wearing the initials of her nickname or the lucky accessories with private marks, they play a role of amplification and emphasis together with the bags.

Of course, as a princess, Beatrice also has her own coat of arms. “Bee” is homophonic with her nickname and is also related to the emblem of her maternal family, so she often likes to wear bee jewelry.

Princess Beatrice also likes letter pendant necklaces, which are also inspired by the initials of her family members: “E” for her husband (Edoardo), “W” for her stepson (Woolf), and “S” for her daughter (Sienna). The three letters are stacked together in three dimensions to form an ingenious pattern.

She owns more than one of these initial necklaces. She previously wore an Edge of Ember pendant necklace with the same “E/W/S” on it – the initials of her husband, stepson and daughter, but in a graphic design.

Princess Beatrice is a very good showman, making custom-designed sentimental jewelry her signature style, which has led the public to habitually study the hidden meaning behind each piece of jewelry. As a result , this kind of “beauty in my heart” jewelry has easily become another kind of “statement jewelry.”

So have you learned it? Customized emotional jewelry needs to be worn frequently and become your personal signature style. Over time, it will blend with all your jewelry and become part of your personal style. In fact, this is also the most important matching principle that Princess Beatrice’s “reversal” tells us: stick to yourself, only then can you establish your style!
