On the night of April 21, 2017, someone walked into the Badisches Landesmuseum in Karlsruhe, Germany and walked out with a tiara worth $1.2 million. I first heard the news in May 2017, when I was just starting a year-long midlife crisis.
The news inspired me to learn more about the tiara's owner, Grand Duchess Hilda of Baden. This research led me on a path that changed my life. I'll explain how in this post.
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.
ABOUT THE STORIES I TELL
----------------------------------------------
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.
Most of the stories I tell have a central figure, but don’t expect a linear biography. There are plenty of detours and scenic routes because that’s the only way to encompass the fascinating tidbits I come across, like Grand Duchess Louise of Baden’s meatloaf recipe and Crown Princess Stephanie of Austria's patented chafing dish.
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.

Please do a podcast! I would love to hear more about these fascinating women and for longer periods of time. I'd happily sit and work while listening to an hour long episode on this topic! Plus your voice is just so soothing. 🥺
I know it's cliche, but I would absolutely ADORE if you would cover Anne Boleyn and her pearl monogram B necklace!!
As a victim of CSA I was incredibly inspired as a young girl reading about Anne Boleyn. As much as she was probably used by her family, her story was the first time I ever realized that my sexuality could be a source of power instead of simply something used to hurt and control me. That it was mine, belonged to me, and could be wielded like a weapon if need be. As strange as that sounds, it was a turning point for me in how I saw myself, and I've remained obsessed with her all my life. Love your videos, and would love to see you cover this topic! ♡
Just found you . You so should do a podcast .. thank you for sharing your research with us
Thank you! I've considered starting a podcast, but have been a little intimidated by the marketing and promotion side of things - if I do, I'll make an announcement here to let everyone know. :)
Looked at the pretty pictures and listened to the story. I sincerely hope that you will, in the near future, be able to tell us all that these items have been found undamaged. 🤞🤞
I sincerely hope so, too! I'm trying to be an optimist on this one. And if they do find it, Baden will be my first post-pandemic destination so I can see it in person. *fingers crossed*
So a priest and a janitor walk into a Swedish church...
Haha, great video, once again!
❤❤❤❤
Hilda of Baden died seventeen years to the day before I was born. Isn’t that odd?
