The Modern Sapphire Tiara/George VI Sapphire Tiara/The Belgian Sapphire Tiara
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝒪𝓌𝓃𝑒𝓇𝓈/𝒲𝑒𝒶𝓇𝑒𝓇𝓈:
♕ 1858 - 1924: Princess Louise of Belgium: It is unknown how the Princess acquired the necklace.
♕ 1947 to Present: Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II: Queen Elizabeth added the tiara separate from the rest of the George VI Sapphire Jewelry she owns. She used the George VI Sapphire jewels (which she received in 1947 as a wedding gift from her father) to create the tiara in 1963.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is unknown about the date the original necklace was created, but the tiara was made in 1963 by Queen Elizabeth II.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before the tiara was created into a tiara, the jewels were used as a necklace or as a dress ornament for Princess Louise of Belgium. When looking at the design of the tiara, you can see the point of the tiara which is the sign of a converted necklace. The jewels stand upright on the tiara, which would have been seen as drops on a necklace.

♕ Princess Louise of Belgium was a scandalous figure among the Belgium Royal Family. She had multiple lovers & left her husband, which left her in financial troubles due to being estranged from her family. She had to sell all her jewels to help her financial debt. The necklace ended up in the general marketplace, which is when it was acquired for the queen & turned from a necklace into a tiara.

That Prince Charles is EXTREMELY picky about his Hard Boiled Eggs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This rumor about Prince Charles originated from the book “On Royalty” by British broadcaster Jeremy Paxman. He wrote in his book that Prince Charles’s chef makes him 7 hard boiled eggs for breakfast every morning, but the Prince only eats 1 egg that is up to his cooking standard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the question appeared on the Duke & Duchess of Cornwall’s website in their question box, the couple answered. “No he doesn’t & never has done, at breakfast or at any other time.”
