To visit my website Regal Events use this link:
It has to be said though that I am also a bit disappointed in the fact that there is nobody from the UK. An appearance of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge would have been great, but sad to say it was almost expected that they would not attend. This "distancing" from the continental European reigning Royal Families is not a good look. I mean, I would have been more than satisfied with even the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester for instance.
Another disappointment (for me) is that the King of Spain will not be accompanied by his wife.
But I will let those things go and just focus on those who have decided to attend and to celebrate the future Queen of Norway, even though somewhat belatedly due to the Covid virus.
It would be great if the Duchess of Brabant surprises us with a completely new tiara. She is after all the future Queen of the Belgians. But as she might still spend many years as the heir it would not be odd if she had her own "signature piece" without having to ask her mother for a loan each time she will attend white-tie events (which she will hopefully be doing more from now on with State Visits etc).
I think it is highly unlikely that Princess Märtha Louise's daughter will attend wearing a tiara. So I suspect we will see the Princess wearing her 18th birthday tiara herself, which would leave the Amethyst set available for somebody else to use.
Im looking forward to what the young three future queens will be wearing.
Ingrid Alexandra seems to at least own one tiara herself and might have access to others.
Amalia has a large selection to choose from and likes tiara's. So that is promising.
Elisabeth may not have her own tiara. Her mother only has three we know about (Belgian Provinces tiara of Queen Astrid, her own Laurel tiara and the Wolfers necklace/tiara of Queen Fabiola). Im wondering if Elisabeth may have been the recipient of the Spanish Wedding gift tiara or maybe another piece (the Stockholm tiara of Queen Astrid, a new piece made of the diamond daisies of Fabiola). I would certainly love it if Queen Paola either loaned or gifted Queen Elisabeth's bandeau to the Duchess of Brabant.
The Bulgarian Royals still have quite a few pieces so it's interesting to see if they are allowed to wear them and if so what pieces they'll select.
We know Olympia of Greece was given her own diamond fringe tiara by her maternal grandparents. So it's probably not that difficult to guess what she'll be wearing.
Martha Louise only owns one tiara so for her daughters to wear a tiara she would need to either loan a few pieces from her mother or the King and Queen should have given their granddaughters tiara's. That does not seem to be the tradition in the Norwegian family so im not expecting any of her daughters to wear a tiara.
Im a bit baffled that no one from the UK is coming. After the Belgian and Luxembourg families the closest connections are to the UK and Denmark. You'd expect Anne or Edward to attend. Though i would have loved it if William+Catherine or Beatrice and Edo were among the guest list.
Almost forgot about Stephanie of Luxemburg. She has a number of pieces to choose from. I just hope it's not the citrine set. It does not suit her colouring very well in my opinion. One of the diamond tiara's suits her much better. Though i'd love to see how the cabochon emerald tiara of Grand Duchess Charlotte suits her.
The three heirs of Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands will probably all be wearing tiaras for the first time.
Princesses Mafalda and Olimpia of Bulgaria might be wearing tiaras, they have not been wearing those previously. But I don't known what jewels the family still owns - they have borrowed jewellery for previous events (like the Denmark wedding in 2004).
Maud Behn might be wearing a tiara
Also - Princess Marie Olympia has worn tiara once in Denmark, will be nice to see her again.
