Why should Beatrix's parents marriage be dissolved? i don't know about this!
--Previous Message-- : 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. : : --Previous Message-- : 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 .... : : --Previous Message-- : 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. : : --Previous Message-- : 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: : : To zoom into Princess Wilhelmina's unknown : emerald diadem, click on the first picture: : : : The total picture: : : : : : : : : :
