April is all about spring, new life and the fun that comes from the sun starting to shine again. So it's no surprise that the month's birth flower is a daisy, that pretty little reminder of everything that is lovely about spring. The birth stone is a diamond which, let's face it, would suit any month of the year but April got lucky and got the biggest sparkler of them all. And one rather well known piece of royal jewellery brings the two together - the Diamond Daisy tiara that belongs to Mette-Marit of Norway.
The Royal Family has just welcomed its newest member - and she's got a very unusual name.
You'd think queens would get the best engagement rings but sometimes their lowlier relatives trump them. Step forward the Duchess of Edinburgh who has a sparkler that can outdazzle many a regal gem.
There's absolutely no way of missing this particular royal tiara. It's massive and studded with so many diamonds that, even in the dark, it has to sparkle. And just in case that didn't make it noticeable enough, it has a very mysterious past. However, it's future is guaranteed. For this is one of those tiaras that is meant to sit only on the head of a consort and the country it belongs to knows that it's getting a brand new one of those before this brand new year is done.
