    Re: Queen Silvia last time? Archived Message

    You are partly right. The last time Queen Silvia wore the Baden fringe Tiara was indeed on 9 October 2001, with a green dress, but it was in Moscow, during a State banquet hosted by President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin Palace:



    Queen Silvia has worn this tiara quite rarely, in comparison with the other tiaras in the Bernadotte collection (with the exception of the button tiaras, that she has hardly never worn). Here are the seldom events I have recorded in my files:

    5 February 1977: Amaranther Order Ball in Malmö



    1988: State Visit to Canada



    1991: State Visit to Pope Saint John Paul II at the Vatican

    : Hello Josefine,
    :
    : Thank you for this wonderful array of
    : pictures.
    :
    : I think you are right. The last public
    : appearance of the Baden Fringe tiara on
    : Crown Princess Victoria’s head, that I have
    : recorded in my files, is the Nobel gala
    : banquet at Stockholm’s Royal Palace on 11
    : December 2011. The then heavily pregnant
    : Crown Princess matched the tiara with the
    : big diamond ear hangers that she had worn
    : for the first time for her pre-wedding
    : reception.
    :
    :
    :
    : The tiara was later worn by Princess
    : Margaretha, Fru Ambler, on 8 June 2013 for
    : Princess Madeleine and Christopher O’Neill’s
    : wedding. As far as I know, this is the last
    : appearance of this tiara up to now.
    :

    :
    : Strange that Crown Princess Victoria has not
    : worn this tiara for the last three years,
    : whereas it seemed to be one of her firm
    : favourites.
    :
    : Do we know if this tiara is part of the
    : Bernadotte Foundation, or is it the King’s
    : (or the Queen’s or the Crown Princess’)
    : private property?
    :
    : Queen Victoria of Sweden (1862-1930, wife of
    : King Gustav V) has used this tiara in a very
    : versatile way, mostly as a tiara, but also
    : as a necklace or as a corsage ornament. I
    : would be glad if Queen Silvia would give a
    : try and wear it as a necklace. I think it
    : would make a very nice match with Queen
    : Sofia’s Nine-Prong Diamond Tiara. A
    : suggestion for the next Nobel ceremony...
