Enchanting Discoveries…People, Places, Things: Prince Dimitri talks tiaras…and other royal jewels!

Welcome to my tongue-in-chic life, style & happiness blog from a funny princess point of view!

I’m delighted to share the newest installment of my Series: Enchanting Discoveries…People Places Things that highlight fabulous treasures I encounter in my travels.

Today’s enchanting discovery highlights the brilliant, multi-talented and yes, enchanting Prince Dimitri of Yugoslavia, whom I had the honor and pleasure to meet at a recent event in New York City. The prince’s story is a real time fairy tale of majesty in the mists; he’s related to history book royals like Charlemagne, Catherine the Great, and Louis XIV.   He’s also a world-renowned jewelry designer.  His new book, “Once Upon A Diamond” with a forward by Carolina Herrera illuminates this fascinating heritage and staggering swath of cross-continental history using a unique and fascinating perspective to tell the tale: the magnificent jewels his ancestors owned and wore. It’s quite an amazing voyage to read about the lives of these royals and how they handled the waves of turmoil and change. Of course some of them didn’t. Prince Dimitri’s unique heritage enables him, in many instances,  to give us a birds-eye view and insider’s “scoop” on their thoughts and feelings, some passed down and some gained first-hand. Reading the book, one feels like a fly on the palace walls. A very privileged fly…CLICK ON TITLE TO CONTINUE!

(Tatler being a high fallut’in British society mag.). No, in order to be an effective and well-loved princess, there had to be something more that I was supposed to do.  Something much more. I was going to have to create some meaning for myself, and make my reign count. So I decided to create for myself my Princess Credo. Here it is: Read more…
