Thank you so very much Tamara, for treating us with these two lovely close-ups !
It was wonderful to see the Nine Provinces Tiara in full on Queen Mathilde and it was very lovely to see Queen Letizia wearing someting "special" to honour Queen Margrethe.
Though, I'm not very fond of the Spanish Queen's Fleur de Lys tiara... But I have to admit, that I am very 'traditionalistic' when it comes to tiaras - or then something really very modern (like the Norwegian Start Trek tiara ). But this new Spanish tiara is neither of it, it's neither in the 'old style', nor really modern. And the pearls - which are wonderful btw - are IMO much too huge for the rather delicate tiara. It's difficult to express, but I every time I see this tiara, I see one of these 'bridal tiaras' with zirkonia (which I think are rather ghastly) . But the Fleur de Lys ornament worn as a brooch is very successful, IMO.
