When King Frederick of Denmark visited the Vatican, Queen Ingrid and Princess Benedikte glittered.
The Queen wore the lustrous pearl parure and Princess Benedikte the floral tiara now worn by Princess Marie. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any photos of the Queen. Perhaps some others have photos which they could share. The combination of diamonds and pearls against black on these two very elegant royal ladies would have been dazzling.

Princess Benedikte. Does anyone know which earrings she is wearing?
