Archduchess Maria Anna of Austria's Tiara

- On November 13, 2018, Sotheby's auctioned off over 100 jewels from the Bourbon-Parma family. One diamond tiara had been a wedding present from Emperor Franz Josef of Austria to his great-niece, Archduchess Maria Anna. It sold for 250,000 CHF to a buyer who was not me.
The star of the show that night was Marie Antoinette’s pearl and diamond pendant, which sold for a mind-boggling 36,427,000 CHF. But I found myself wondering more about Maria Anna. Who was she? Why hadn’t I seen any pictures of her if she had such a fantastic jewel collection at her disposal?
So I did what any self-respecting royal researcher would do. I told everyone else to get lost until I had an answer. Here's what I found out:

ABOUT THE GIRL IN THE TIARA
----------------------------------------------------
I tell stories about tiaras and the fascinating royal women who wore them. Join me as I follow these tiaras across generations and countries, through wars and revolutions and-sometimes-into darkness and disappearance and destruction.
This isn't the kind of history your professor lectured about. Instead, think of this as conversational history, like a mash-up of Drunk History and The Crown. Yes, there's a little swearing. There's also humor and heart and a boatload of compassion for these amazing royal women.
ABOUT ME
-------------------
I never intended to start a channel or a website about tiaras and royal history. But a midlife crisis forced me to re-examine my life. I gave up fiction writing after self-publishing 9 of the 10 books I'd written and earning next to nothing.
Instead of the misery of marketing books, I turned to my first love...royal history. So here I am, a 40-something burnout, trying to start over by recapturing her love of history, royal women, and their jewels.

Just have to say your Chanel is so good full of facts and pleasantly presented the music fits all the story’s so glad you don’t put the Boom Boom Boom music that spoils so many story’s but you have nailed it please don’t change the way you do things 👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much - you just made my day! And don't worry - there won't be any out of place music here. I'm keeping it just the way you like it. ❤️
I need more tiara content! I love it so much! I miss the Royal Order of Satorial Spendor blog and this is just as great!
Thank you so much! I'm working on another tiara post right now. And oh, yes, I love the Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor! I've spent hours there, scrolling and drooling and scrolling and drooling some more. ;)
Your use of Johann Strauss' Vienna Blood Waltz is an excellent choice as a background for this! Plus it inspired me to listen to all my Strauss favorites again; never a bad idea. Great video, as always!
This is the first photo I’ve seen of poor Sophie, aside from the one of her and Franz Ferdinand’s fateful visit. She was quite lovely. I’m off to google more photographs of her and F. F.
Yes, she was lovely! If you're interested in Sophie, you might like the book "The Assassination of the Archduke: Sarajevo 1914 and the Romance That Changed the World" by Greg King and Sue Woolmans. It has a lot of great info about their courtship and life together.
I just adore your channel. 💝
Yay! Voice and video! You really improve in leaps and bounds!
A crap-ton of property accurately encapsulates how rich the family were.
LOL - I was definitely striving for accuracy with that one. ;)
All very interesting. But p,ease tone down the music or don't play music at all, it is quite distracting, beautiful as it is.
Thank you for the feedback - that's very helpful. I'll definitely take the music way down in future videos. :)
@@TheGirlintheTiara but don't stop including it! I can tell you put a lot of thought into which piece you choose for each story. Sometimes as a very appropriate joke or pun. Very clever!
@@SarahGreen523 Thanks so much for the support! I plan on keeping the background music, just lowering the volume a bit. I'm so glad you can tell there's a theme what with each story and the music I pick - sometimes it's a mood, a feeling, a similarity in place or time, a commentary on the story, etc. You get me! ❤️❤️
Girl in the Tiara, you have a lovely, silvery speaking voice.
Thank you SO much! It took forever to get up the nerve to do these recordings. Like most people, I hate the sound of my own voice. I'll remember what you said the next time I get nervous about recording! :)
@@TheGirlintheTiara You could be a professional narrator. Your accent is lovely and you enunciate clearly.
You just made my day. Thank you for your kind words! :)
Absolutely.
@@gerrymccartney3561 Aww, thanks - you guys are amazing. I'm honored. ♥
Loved the video, it was difficult to hear sometimes as the music was pretty loud like at 2:45
Thanks for the feedback - that's helpful! I started turning the music down in my later videos thanks to all the helpful comments. :)
@@TheGirlintheTiara no worries, you explain things very well I the ideo, you spoke clearly and a suitable spead and sounds like you genuinely enjoy talking about the subjects, I am a fan of ur videos
You speak so well, perfect English, so why soil your presentation with foul words?! Distracts from your well researched content
Dom Pedro II foi imperador do Brasil, não de Portugal.
Yes, thank you for the correction!
Yeah, I get all this things about the tiaras in one hands. However, capitalism, being a highly corruptive and broken system, is a lot better than we used to have before! We need to remember that capitalistic world is a child of the 20th century, and before we've seen slavery, aristocrats that told us what to wear, speak and eat, and horrible life conditions. Today's world is far from perfect, but it this the best we have had since forever.
P.S. I would love to have a tiara!!!
Absolutely. Even with all the problems in the world right now, I'm happy to be able to live, work, and play as I see fit (within reason, of course!), which would never have been possible in any previous century. I would love to have a tiara, too, but not so much as a symbol of past aristocratic privilege...just as a beautiful piece of art with a fascinating history. :)
@@TheGirlintheTiara I absolutely agree. And the next best thing is that we can communicate with each other!! It is so cool that even if we live in different countries we can talk and share our opinions! Hail to the internet.
What would anyone who isn't royal need with these tiaras! What a waste! They're probably sitting in a vault somewhere now!
Sometimes museums buy the tiaras that come up at auction - I wish that happened more often, so we could see them. I hate the thought of them sitting unused and unseen in a vault. If I had one and couldn't wear it out (because I have no social life), I'd want to display it as art!
Dom Pedro II was the deposed Brazilian Emperor, not kinf of Portugal.
You're absolutely right - thank you for the correction. :)
I love your voice and the content. Tge music however is too much. Its overwhelming and distracting. Love love everything else.
Thank you so much for the feedback - that's really helpful! I hate the sound of my own voice, so I relied too heavily on music to be able to stand the sound of it while editing the video. But so many lovely people, including you, have said they like the sound of my voice, so now I know to tone that music way down. :)
@@TheGirlintheTiara Your voice is lovely! I too struggle with my voice. I even have a speech impediment but I don't let that stop me from making videos. I am just starting out and learning the ins and outs. I use audacity to lower the music on my videos even though I would like to hide my voice as well :)
@@fabulouswomeninhistory Thank you! I just subscribed to your channel and will go binge-watch your videos now. For my most recent video, I took everyone's advice and lowered the music volume. Here's to both of us learning and growing as we make more videos! 🙏
"crap tonne"
*likes video*
Pulled a Donald Trump? I’m out!
Please clean up your language-regular English would be nice...
Thank you for the feedback. I'll take that into consideration.
She speaks regular English. What slang are you asking for?
