=========================
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.

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.

Your presentations are so enjoyable. A waltz through history while imagining wearing these precious jewels 💎.
I started listening for your storybook voice because I couldn’t sleep. But then I was kept up by how gripping the tail was. Well done. And thank you.
Oh, thank you so much! I'm glad the story was interesting enough to keep you awake, but maybe I should also read something more boring to help everyone sleep at night. ;)
Lol same here!
@@myboyz9391 Glad you liked it! Hmm...maybe I need to start a playlist of "me reading boring things you can listen to without missing anything interesting." ;)
@@TheGirlintheTiara Hah! Sure..try it. Lol
This reply is for キラー ;;ANGELIC...RUclips sent me your comment, but isn't displaying it here for some reason. This isn't a podcast - it's just me reading my blog posts out loud. Since my posts usually run long, I figured people might not have time to read them, but they could always listen while doing something else. I'm so glad you enjoyed Maria Anna's story!
This is one of the most beautiful tiaras I've seen
I'm so glad to hear that because this one isn't very famous - it deserves more fans! I wish we had more pictures of it being worn to get a better sense of its size. At first, I didn't like that wavy line that runs through the middle of it, but the the more I look at it, the more I like the sense of flow and playfulness that line adds. :)
I just stumbled upon your channel, bravo! I’ve power watched all of your videos, please keep doing what you do. I love ❤️ all your videos, thank you!
Diamonds 💎 are forever. Not so are Monarchies 👑.
Wow, hope Sophie and Fraz's work out well
I greatly enjoy listening to your posts, and hope to hear a lot more about lesser-known royalty.
P.S: Isn't that picture of 'Max of Baden' actually Boris Vladimirovich?
Thank you .
You're very welcome! :)
Love your channel! Just a heads up, Thyra is pronounced “Tur-rah”. I totally made the same mistake since I’m not as versed in German or Scandinavian pronunciation as I am french and Italian.
Do you think you’ll do a video on the Romanov jewels?
So well done- interesting and fun! If I’d had you for history class, I might have done much better!
Is the background music necessary?
Wrong. Archduches Maria Anna married the Hereditary Prince of Parma whose name was Elia, not Elias. #DontCopyWikipedia.
Dom Pedro, Alcantara D'orleans and Braganca. Portuguese and French royals, also Emperor of Brazil, when it was an Empire.
Music detracts, distracts...too loud as well. Maybe pick transitions and have interludes? Take your time, we are settled in for a nice long tale anyway!
I didn't pay attention to the music until you commented about it. 🙄
I like the music, my brain can compute the music and the story at the same time.
Marie, Maria,Louis-like the U.S. Brittney and Tiffanys of yesterday.. Sometimes a Princess Kim would be nice.
in the hair are hair pieces hair of the dead they are called
Thank you for that tidbit - kind of creepy, but good to know!
Pocket watch with a photo, todays mobile phone, dont look in someone elses pocket watch if you are not prepared to maybe be shocked.😉
Thyra,- teara
Like a tear running out of your eye.🙂
Austrian IMPERIAL family.
Why don’t you clean up your mouth. It demeans you and your channel.
You don’t have to listen her stories if you dislike her style.
