ANZAC 2022
Tumblr media
OTD
The then Duchess of Cambridge attended the ANZAC service. Jewels from Princess Diana were present - The Collingwood earrings.
Tumblr media
These diamond and pearl drop earrings are ultimate classics: absolutely timeless, perfectly versatile, and endlessly useful. The earrings feature a round diamond stud, from which is suspended an additional round diamond and a bell cap set with three more rows of small diamonds. The bell caps each contain a lovely pearl drop. ~ The Court Jeweller
Tumblr media
The Duchess also wore a new brooch, suspected to be a piece from Robinson Pelham. A jeweller who also designed the earrings Catherine wore on her wedding day.

On this day in 1831, 22-year-old Charles Darwin set sail on the HMS Beagle for a trip around the world. For most of the next five years, the Beagle surveyed the coast of South America, leaving Darwin free to explore the continent and islands, including the Galápagos. He filled dozens of notebooks with careful observations on animals, plants, and geology, and collected thousands of specimens, which he sent home for further study. Darwin later called the Beagle voyage "by far the most important event in my life," saying it "determined my whole career."

On This Day nine years ago, 25-year-old Freddie Gray died from injuries sustained following a brutal encounter with Baltimore police.
A grand jury indicted all six officers involved in the brutal arrest — but none of the charges stuck.
Freddie Gray should still be alive.
