The Devonshire Tiaras
I love anything Mitford, and have every book Debo Mitford Cavendish ever wrote. I wish we could see some of the Devonshire tiaras at King Charles III's coronation - which one would you wear?
I am torn between the Honeysuckle Tiara
Tumblr media
and the Palmette
Tumblr media
From Debo: "My grandmother-in-law, Evelyn Duchess of Devonshire, was Mistress of the Robes to Queen Mary for forty-three years from 1910. Together they weathered long hours of tiara’d evenings, including those during the fabulous Indian Durbar in Delhi in 1911. The magically beautiful but relentless program, carried out in torrid heat, was exhausting for all concerned, and after one particularly lengthy evening Granny Evie was heard to say, ‘The Queen has been complaining about the weight of her Tiara…The Queen doesn’t know what a heavy tiara is.’  Evelyn knew what she was talking about. The larger of the two Devonshire diamond tiaras in indeed a whopper.”
I would be more than happy to wear either one!

Deborah, late Duchess of Devonshire, is the inspiration for a new fashion collection by Erdem, one of the Princess of Wales’ favourite designers.  His latest collection is inspired by some of the beautiful French designers who dressed her in the 1950s and 6s.  (I have seen some of her Dior dresses at Chatsworth, they are fabulous)  In this article in the Telegraph are these two photos of brooches she was given by her husband.  The Duke gave her every year a jewelled butterfly, bee or other insect.  This is one of the butterflies. Sometimes she would wear a collection of her insect jewels all together, seeming to crawl up the front of her jacket or along a sleeve.

Great Houses Modern Aristocrats
by James Reginato
Photographs by Jonathan Becker, Foreword by Viscount Linley
Rizzoli Int., New York 2016, 256 pages, Hardcover, ISBN 978-0-8478-4898-0
euro 70,00
email if you want to buy [email protected]
This stunning book presents the intriguing stories and celebrated histories of some of the leading families of Great Britain and Ireland and the opulent residences that have defined their heritages. The history of England is inextricably linked with the stories of its leading aristocratic dynasties and the great seats they have occupied for centuries. As the current owners speak of the critical roles their ancestors have played in the nation, they bring history alive. All of these houses have survived great wars, economic upheavals, and, at times, scandal. Filled with stunning photography, this book is a remarkably intimate and lively look inside some of Britain’s stateliest houses, with the modern-day aristocrats who live in them and keep them going in high style. This book presents a tour of some of England’s finest residences, with many of the interiors shown here for the first time. It includes Blenheim Palace—seven acres under one roof, eclipsing the splendor of any of the British royal family’s residences—property of the Dukes of Marlborough; the exquisite Old Vicarage in Derbyshire, last residence of the late Dowager Duchess of Devonshire (née Deborah Mitford); Haddon Hall, a vast crenellated 900-year-old manor house belonging to the Dukes of Rutland that has been called the most romantic house in England; and the island paradises on Mustique and St. Lucia of the 3rd Baron Glenconner. This book is perfect for history buffs and lovers of traditional interior design and English country life.

Chapter 16
June 1988,
Chatsworth House, Derbyshire
"Good girl, Thea, come here, come to daddy!", Charles exclaimed, happily cheering at his meanwhile 10 months old daughter as they were playing with a ball on the grass, both of them crawling on their knees. It was a rare picture but one that made Camilla incredibly happy - but also worried…
"He shouldn't say that anymore…", Deborah murmured and Camilla nodded. The two women were sitting on a bench under a tree a few metres away in the beautiful gardens of Chatsworth House, home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, who had so kindly invited the three of them to stay with them for a couple of days. Charles had always been close to the couple as well as their son and heir, Stoker, who was only just a few years older than Charles and herself, and the Duke and Duchess had meanwhile become some sort of her "in-laws in spirit" as they were amongst the very few people who knew about them as a couple - and Thea's real father. Camilla had never said anything herself but, being the incredibly empathic person she was, Deborah had been suspicious - and Charles had finally given in and told her. Thank goodness, the elderly Duchess had been neither shocked nor disapproving in any way; quite in contrast, she had been incredibly kind, compassionate and promised them both to do whatever she could to support them in any way. "My home is your home whenever it is needed.", she had so sweetly declared and Camilla hadn't even known what to say. She couldn't believe that people actually were so kind, when in fact they had nothing to give in return. "There's nothing needed, my dear.", the Duchess had assured her. "The two of you are suffering enough and if only we can do a tiny little bit to help or make it better for at least a few hours, we're more than happy to." Since then, they had spent numerous clandestine weekends at Chatsworth House, sometimes with, sometimes without Thea, and it had become their very own little piece of paradise where they could just be the couple they were without having to hide or people asking questions.
"She will soon remember things…", Deborah added and, again, Camilla nodded. "You're right. I'll talk to him later. But let's not ruin this moment for him. Look how happy he is." "Nothing you see very often these days, is it?", the Duchess asked quietly and, once more, Camilla agreed. The situation with his wife had only been worsening over the last couple of months and she was seriously worried about him more and more often. Sometimes, when he called her, he sounded so unhappy and frustrated that it simply broke her heart. The only thing that could still make him smile and give him the energy he needed so badly to perform his duties were Thea, in the first place, and herself. She tried to be there for him as best as possible and of course arranged for him to see the little one regularly, but they had to be very careful. Deborah was right, Thea would soon start to remember things and she had already started bubbling her first few words… not long and she'd be able to speak proper sentences, and even more dangerous, understand everything and they couldn't risk that.
"These weekends with you and our little angel really the light of my life, do you know that, darling?", Charles asked with his softest voice, gently stroking through her hair. After they'd put Thea to bed, just as any normal parents would do with their baby, they had gone to their own room early as well, cuddled up to each other, started to kiss and slowly but surely had become more passionate, until they had finally made love, just as any normal couple would, and it'd been heavenly. "It's the same for me, darling.", Camilla replied, her hand drawing little circles on his bare chest. God, he felt so good… he smelled so good… and he was so hot. She was still head over heels in love with him and a night like this had immediately brought back all of the butterflies. "If only we could stay here like this forever…", he sighed. "If only…", she agreed, desperately sighing, too. "Darling, listen, I… we need to talk about something…", she finally began, rolling half on top of him, tenderly locking his eyes with hers while keeping on stroking his body. "What is it, my beautiful darling?", he asked, sweetly smiling, and her heart ached as she knew exactly that this sweet smile she loved so much was going to fade the second she'd tell him. "You… um… I think you'd better stop referring to yourself… as daddy in front of Thea." Indeed, he looked at her in shock. "But… I am her daddy.", he said, frowning his forehead. "Darling…", Camilla whispered, softly kissing his chest. "We've been through it all. We've talked about it. I know it hurts but we have an agreement and we must stick with that. For our daughter. She's getting too old. She'll understand and remember soon… and.. we don't want to confuse her, do we? Andrew will be her daddy. And you will be -" "Sir, I know.", he interrupted her bitterly, turning his head away from her. He knew that she was right. They had talked about it and he also knew that there was no other option and they really had to stick with everything they had agreed to in order to protect their little darling. But it hurt so much. "Can't we just… stop time from going by and just… stay here, on this weekend, just like this, forever?" He looked at her with teary eyes, and seeing him so heartbroken broke Camilla’s heart as well. "For me, you will always be her daddy. Her real daddy. The best and loveliest and sweetest and just most wonderful daddy in the whole wide world.", she promised, softly kissing his tears away. "I love you so much, my darling.", she assured him, kissing him more passionately again. "I love you, too!", he replied, drawing her closer and joining her kiss, before tenderly turning her on her back, bending himself over her to make love to her once more…

3, 4, 11 ,12 , 13, 16,17,24 (but feel free to ignore some if you want)
3. What were your top five books of the year?
In no particular order:
Dracula A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate The Love Hypothesis Have His Carcase (re-read) In Tearing Haste: Letters between Deborah Duchess of Devonshire and Patrick Leigh Fermor
Bonus to The Count of Monte Cristo and A City of Bells which I doubt I'll have finished reading by the end of the year but will definitely be favourites.
4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?
Naomi Novik for sure! Vaseem Khan who writes the Malabar House mysteries. Ali Hazelwood for The Love Hypothesis (though I didn't enjoy Love on the Brain so much).
11, 12 - already answered
13. What were your least favorite books of the year?
Probably Murder by the Minster by Helen Cox. I picked it up in a charity shop thinking it looked my sort of thing - main character is a librarian in York. I just found the writing really uninspiring and the characters 2D and very obvious in their development.

Thank you!

Diamond tiara created for Duchess Louise, A E Skinner, 1893-1897.
Tumblr media
The Devonshire Tiara
a remarkable example of Victorian jewelry, is a treasure that has been passed down and worn by generations of Cavendish ladies. The tiara was made in 1865 for Lady Louisa Egerton, née Cavendish, to be worn on the day of her wedding to Hon. Francis Egerton. Following tradition, the tiara was also worn by the present Duchess Amanda on her wedding day in 1967, and by her daughter, Lady Celina, on her wedding day in 1995.
