Wort.lu is quite wrong; the expression Frau Gräfin is only used for the senior countess, wife of a count, never for their female child. As for tiara guessing: The most likely candidate, the Congo necklace/tiara, is IMHO not exactly an ideal one for the purpose of bridal tiara in the Luxembourg collection... both floral tiaras or the scroll tiara (which Joséphine Charlotte wore for the wedding photo session, though not for the wedding itself) would serve the purpose better. It still seems to be unknown whether the pre-wedding gala will be white tie or not - if so, it would certainly be charming if Countess Stéphanie could wear a tiara from her own family that night and a Luxembourg one for the religious wedding on the following day. --Previous Message-- : If Frau Gräfin (I saw that expression in the : newspaper Wort.lu) receives a diadem it will : be a cadeau by the Belgian nobility, I : think.
