    : That it is the brooch of the emerald parure is
    : clear, just not what it is placed on. The
    : pattern of the bit on the right you can see
    : does not match the emerald tiara itself nor
    : does it look like any other tiara i know.
    : Could it be she added one of her Frisian
    : diamond needles to it?
    :
    : As for her face it was in the midst of the
    : Hofmans-affair. This was the first time she
    : was with the government since her abdication
    : but she had to be present at Beatrix' 18th
    : birthday dinner. Wilhelmina herself writes
    : that she'll keep her face under control but
    : that nobody at the table will be more moved
    : than she is. She remembered her own 18th
    : birthday and compared the situations. For
    : Beatrix is was a frightning time as well.
    : Had the marriage of her parents dissolved
    : and Juliana abdicated (both were options)
    : than Beatrix would have become queen at 18.

    : Yes it does look like the brooch but stuck
    : on
    : a silk bandeau? Well it remains a bit of a
    : mystery.
    : In any case she didn't look like a very
    : happy camper either ....

    : Thanks for the picture i could zoom in on.
    : Now
    : it's clear that the central part of the
    : hairornament is the brooch of the emerald
    : parure. It's the same element that is part
    : of the necklace and explains why Wilhelmina
    : is wearing the emerald, diamond and pearl
    : brooch with this set as she is wearing the
    : actual brooch of the parure in her hair.
    : Considering that Juliana is only wearing a
    : few stars in her hair makes me feel that
    : Wilhelmina is wearing a silk bandeau with
    : the brooch of the emerald parure in the
    : centre.

    : For the 18th birthday of Princess Beatrix
    : the
    : Cabinet organized a diner.
    : The Princess' grandmother, Princess
    : Wilhelmina, appeared with an unknown diadem.
    :
    : On the site gahetna it is possible to zoom
    : into detail on the diadem and it is clear it
    : is a totally unknown emerald diadem:
