Yes, the information about the two occasions is correct. Here are three more pics from the pre-wedding events in 1976: - Silvia Sommerlath wore a tiara for the first time, Crown Princess Margaret’s Connaught tiara which still had the grey velvet base to match Princess Sibylla’s hair; - below, Grand duchess Joséphine of Luxembourg arriving to the ball at Drottningholm Palace after the concert at the Royal Opera; - and an overview of royal guests seated during the concert. It’s rather difficult to find clear pics of the guests from the pre-wedding night – I’d appreciate any further additions!
