Belgian tiaras Archived Message

The diademe worn by the Duchess of Brabant was a wedding-gift from the Belgian aristocrats. The Duchess comes from an old aristocratic family d'Udekem d'Acoz and received the laurel-leaf tiara as weddingpresent in 1999. The weddingtiara of HRH Princess Claire of Belgium was a gift from HM King Albert II and Queen Paola and was bought in London I think. The second tiara must have been a gift from HRH Prince Laurent to his wife. I have no idea about the origin or the price. But that makes in a periode of 13 years 3 new tiaras, not that bad for a little country like Belgium and with discrete royals.
