: Thanks to a kind & avid reader of these
: Boards I have been sent some lovely photos
: which may be of interest to several of you
: as well as I think the questions he asks are
: highly interesting too, so anyone who knows
: any answers or like to contribute is very
: welcome !!

: Both on the GREMB and the RJWMB we all saw a
: whole lot of glittering pictures of the
: wedding ceremony of Princess Madeleine of
: Sweden and Chris O'Neill - and especially of
: the jewels worn by the bride and the female
: guests.
: But, as far as he knows, there were very few
: pictures (well, almost none, actually), and
: never in HQ, of the tiara worn by Princess
: Ursula of Bavaria.
:
: Princess Ursula's tiara for this wedding was
: a surprise, since the big diamond tiara she
: usually wore at royal events was auctioned
: off recently at Sotheby's (on May 14th,
: 2013, along with the big amethyst and
: diamond necklace and matching earrings of
: Queen Therese of Bavaria and Queen Amalia of
: Greece).
: This tiara was, according to Sotheby's, a
: wedding gift from Queen Isabella II of Spain
: to her daughter Infanta Maria de la Paz when
: she married Prince Ludwig-Ferdinand of
: Bavaria in 1883 :

: So, one might fear that Princess Ursula and
: her daughter-in-law Princess Anna don't own
: a tiara anymore to attend a royal wedding.
: But fortunately, these fears proved to be
: wrong : Anna wore a small fringe-like tiara,
: and Ursula wore a small tiara with floral
: motifs.
: Anna's tiara could be seen in rather fine
: detail on many pictures, but Ursula's tiara
: was hardly photographed by the press
: agencies covering the wedding ; the few
: pictures depicting her were quite blurry and
: did not make it possible to see the tiara
: clearly.
: One was barely able to make a few screen
: captures while watching the wedding on the
: Swedish channel SVT. One of those screencaps
: was made when the camera was zooming on the
: royal guests, and on one pic you can clearly
: see the tiara worn by Princess Ursula
: (seated in the third row, visible between
: Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark &
: Princess Märtha Louise of Norway).
:
: It is not an HQ, but still the clearest pic
: of the tiara I have seen until now.
: So the obvious question is: has anyone
: already seen this tiara, and does anyone
: know where it comes from ?
:
: But there is another intriguing detail with
: this tiara : Princess Ursula wore this tiara
: during the procession in the Palace
: courtyard before the wedding and during the
: wedding ceremony itself, inside the Palace
: chapel; but when the guests left the Royal
: Palace to board the vessels taking them to
: Drottningholm for weddingdinner & ball,
: she did not wear the tiara anymore,
: apparently, and went bare headed ......
:
: Does anyone know why the princess left her
: tiara behind ?
:
: Since these pictures were not taken by the
: person who sent them to me, but are just
: mere screencap or agency pictures
: (Zimbio),and were uploaded to PhotoBucket by
: me ( Marianne ) we just want to show them
: here to get some answers to various
: questions.
