Anna Wintour (75), the legendary editor-in-chief of 'Vogue', was recently awarded the Order of the Companions of Honor at Buckingham Palace for her services to the fashion world.
At this special ceremony, she wore an eye-catching amethyst necklace that once belonged to the British Queen Mary. This gesture not only emphasized her close connection to the British monarchy but also showed her unmistakable style.
Anna Wintour wears royal jewelry
The necklace Anna Wintour wore at the ceremony is a remarkable piece of jewelry with a fascinating story. According to the Royal Watcher, the necklace was part of an amethyst set that also included a tiara, earrings and a ring. The set was originally given to Queen Mary by Princess Catherine of Württemberg in 1898. After Mary's death, the necklace was auctioned at Sotheby's and found a new owner in 1993.
The amethyst necklace that Anna Wintour now owns was worn by her at the Victoria & Albert Museum back in 2007. This connection between fashion and royal heritage gives the necklace a special significance.
Rumors about a 'Vogue' cover with Princess Kate
In addition to her tribute, Anna Wintour also caused a stir by commenting on rumors about a possible 'Vogue' cover with Princess Kate (43). When asked whether it was true that the Princess had been offered global covers, Anna Wintour replied with a smile, according to the British newspaper 'Express': "Yeah, I don't know where those [rumors] have come from, do you?"
