I remember my excitement seeing the Grand Duchess with such an amazing glittering broche on the wedding day, only learning later (on this board) that it was 'just' an application on her stole. I also regret that the Grand Duchess did not stick to protocol by not wearing hats and gloves for the day program. On the day outfits also no jewels were worn. So to see the Grand Duchess wore a miniature of an Austrian Order on her lapels, no nice broche. Look at the picture below, is this not screaming for a nice pearl broche or something??? Queen Paola of the Belgians has the same habit. I really hope that the new Queen Máxima will NOT follow this example of the other Benelux consorts and remain wearing hats, gloves and broches...
