The Burmese Ruby Tiara
The 96 rubies in this tiara were given as a gift from the Burmese people
Believing rubies to have prophylactic properties, the tiara was specially designed to protect the wearer against the 96 diseases the Burmese people believe can afflict the human body.
The diamonds are believed to have come from this Cartier-made tiara.
Since the Queen is 86 years of age and appears to be in wonderful health, maybe there is something to the power of rubies.

Love how Kate and Charles always seem to be enjoying each others' company.
