Blue Ivy Wears The Crown

Beyoncé Knowles and Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter have often been referenced as hip-hop’s royal couple. Having concerts around the world, the Carters have performed before royalty. Earlier this spring, Beyoncé embarrassed Princess Eugenie of York (the younger daughter of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Sarah, Duchess of York), by picking her out of the crowd. She gave her the mic during her “Irreplaceable” set; the princess, the sixth in line to the throne didn’t know the words.

Blue Ivy is donning an regal looking Imperial State Crown with a fur lined, blue velvet Cap of Maintenance set with “crown jewels.” The four crystal and pearl-studded arches meet at a monde with a shiny cross pattée (crucifix) atop. The band is encrusted with pearls and diamonds, and alternating sparkling fleurs-de-lis-ish jewels.
