Coming across the news saying that the Kokoshnik tiara with diamonds & garnets ordered by Princess Viggo will be auctionned next month in Stockholm (see further down),I want to post again the well-known Ingrid and Frederik pre-wedding group foto. That were old times. Anyone having a better picture of this historical event ? We can see first on the left in the 2nd row Eleanor Princess Viggo, Countess of Rosenborg wearing her Kokoshnik along with what look like two pendant necklaces with garnets. A stunning parure which recalls the danish colors indeed:
Some of the tiaras worn on this event are probably lost or lie somewhere in the vaults (the sapphire one on CP Cecilie of Prussia?) but many others still adorned Queens Margrethe of Denmark, Silvia of Sweden and Sonja Norway hairdo plus the other princesses. For the three royal vaults I count : - five tiaras for Denmark including the Rosenborg line - two tiaras for Sweden - three for Norway
Let's also mention Queen Astrid nine-prongs-tiara for Belgium and the ruby-laurel-leaf tiara here on Theodora Margravine of Baden (seen last year during the princely wedding Gala in Monaco) .
In btw a last tribute to the then Prince Carl Johan of Sweden (sitting on the right of the groom in the red circle) : he was the last surviving of this Royal Gathering. He passed away earlier this month.
