Both Fabiola and Paola wore the Nine Province tiara on State/official visits abroad very often. They did not have so many tiaras, whereas a State visit abroad usually requires two tiaras (one for the State dinner, and one for the return dinner, + possibly a third one when a gala reception at the opera or at the theatre is also scheduled). So they had little other option to wear frequently the Nine Province Tiara in addition with one of their other tiaras (the Medinaceli tiara or the Wolfers necklace/tiara for Fabiola, Queen Elisabeth's Art Déco bandeau for Paola). Queen Fabiola: - 1961: State visit to the Holy See: - 1963: State visit to the United-Kingdom (gala at Covent Garden Royal Opera House): - 1968: State visit to Denmark: Queen Paola: - 1994: State visit to Luxembourg: - 1994: State visit to Sweden: - 1995: State visit to Denmark: - unidentified date: State visit to Norway: - unidentified date: State visit to Spain: - 2000: State visit to the Netherlands: - 2004: Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Mary Donaldson's wedding (Queen Paola wears the Greek-meander bandeau of the Nine Province tiara as a choker): - 2004: pre-wedding reception of Prince Felipe of Spain, Prince of the Asturias, and of Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano (once again, the Greek-meander bandeau is worn as a choker):
