The famous Tiara worn by Crownprincess Beatrix of the Netherlands at her wedding has been called here on these boards the Würtemberg Tiara...
But it seems this tiara has very little to do with the former German state of Würtemberg...
Els Smit, journalist and one of few leading Royal jewelery Experts in Holland has a scoop in Dutch royalty magazine "VORSTEN" that will give the Tiara (at least) another name and I hope all of you will buy Vorsten to see what the news is about...
I find the Tiara (on this picture worn by HM Queen Beatrix for a State-Diner in 1982 in Buckingham Palace) simply one of the best royal tiaras in Europe !!! And the research done by Els Smit made me very proud of it's origines !
