I remember seing this picture some time ago and thinking that perhaps Princess Irene's tiara was an edited image... There is something odd with that tiara and how it is placed in the hair...That seems like a fringe tiara, I really don't remember any fringe tiara in the greek collecion (apart from Princess Marie Chantal's recent tiara of course). I believe it's edited.
--Previous Message-- : Princess Irene seems to own two tiaras: the : circle tiara and the diamond and pearl : necklace/tiara. : : I found this picture of her and Sofia both : in eveningwear.

There seems to be a : lack of smaller tiaras for the younger : princesses. I will assume that Princess : Marie Chantal will wear the fabulous diamond : tiara of Queen Sophie on grand ocasions from : now on, and her own fringe tiara for lesser : ocasions. Princess Alexia has her own tiara. : So, Princesses Theodora, Tatiana and the : future wife of Prince Philipos will have to : share the corsage tiara or borrow some from : aunt Margareth... : Anyway perhaps they will not attend gala : events at the same time, so they can share. : : : : : --Previous Message-- : There's a debate on Facebook (Royal Jewels : Fan : Club) about the diamond tiara worn by the : princess on each royal events for many : years.
