Princess Luiza had an HRH? I didn't think so, I thought the whole clan were noble yet not royal. Not exactly an equal marriage, but certainly Paola was a bride with interesting lineage.
I am curious too about this tiara. Perhaps it's hers? As a lady in waiting to the Queen of Italy, I would think Donna Luiza would have had occasions to wear one at Court. This tiara looks a bit like the 'buttons' tiara in the Swedish collection
