Silvia could very well be using the : Connought tiara. I think it's too soon for : Victoria to attend (she did pop in : unexpected earlier today) so that leaves : Madeleine and Christina. Im not sure if the : King's youngest daughter still is in the : country. If his sister attends than most : likely wearing her own small pearl tiara. : In Amsterdam Maxima and Margriet could : attend (it's the first state visit in : Amsterdam since the renovation of the : palace). I would love to see Maxima in : either the laurel tiara or the ears of wheat : but i think the peacock parure tiara or the : diamond bandeau are likelier. For Margriet i : think it'll be either the saphire necklace : tiara or the pearl version of the emerald : tiara. : : : : :
