The Daily Mail is an awful rag, but I must give credit where credit is due: they have fantastic pictures. I think the Duchess of Cornwall was the most nicely bejewelled of all guests. Just because I like her all-diamonds jewels better than the green emeralds of the Queen or the Princess Royal's blue aquamarines. There is such a difference between the "Vladimir" with pearls or with emeralds. The first version is elegant, the second appears so chunky, clunky, what is the word.The venue was stunning, amazing long table. My only recommendation would be: use real candles and not those lampshades, nothing beats the light of hundreds of real candles and they have a super effect on diamonds: they will unfold all their splendour in the gentle and moving lights of candles.
