The sapphire set she's wearing is called the George VI Victorian Suite; her disastrous father purchased the set from the court's jeweler.

The set is thought to have been made in 1850. Whatever year it was, the court jeweler were charged with making trinkets from stolen wealth.

It's unclear where these sapphires (and diamonds) came from. But look up what the monarchy was doing in 1850 and you might take a guess.

Anyway, the queen wasn't satisfied with all the blood she was wearing in the form of gold, sapphire, and diamonds. She wanted more.

So she purchased a necklace to make a tiara. (This was from a white person, so it was purchased, not stolen like the stones and metals.)pic.twitter.com/fvqHTO5ffq

Who is this person who wore the necklace that the queen had turned into a tiara? She was Princess Louise of Belgium. Ring a bell?

Princess Louise of Belgium was King Leopold II's daughter. You might know him as the Butcher of Congo. Despicable, genocidal monster.

King Leopold's genocidal campaign brought us Princess Louise's sapphire necklace. The exact necklace Queen Elizabeth wears as a tiara.

Queen Elizabeth's gotta be the biggest welfare recipient on the planet. She could have purchased any tiara. Deliberately got this one, tho.pic.twitter.com/Ub5I6pKORU

The queen is dripping with the blood of our non-white ancestors that, to this very day, secure her role and that of the whole monarchy's.

Every time I see photos of the all-white monarchy, including that middleton whatever the hell her name is, I see a trail of blood.
