    Thank you very much Kongetro!! Never seen this pic of the queen (very beautiful, by the way), and the information is new to me. As far as we know was this the only time she wore the small tiara from her daughter?

    : The Queen wore her daughter's tiara at a
    : reception at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in
    : New York during a visit to the USA in 1995.
    : According to Scanpix, where I found the
    : photo, the date was 11th October 1995.

    : While googling for a diferent jewel I found
    : this pic, totally unknown to me, of Queen
    : Sonia wearing her daughter's gift tiara. The
    : tiara was a gift from the late king Olav to
    : his grandaughter Pss Martha-Louise.
    : Can someone tell me please when was it worn
    : by the Queen and at what ocasion? Are there
    : any other pics from this ocasion?
    : I found this rather strange as she has
    : several tiaras, why borrow such a small one
    : from her daughter. Were the jewels under
    : maintenance (cleaning) perhaps?
    :
    : I believe the pic was posted at the Royal
    : Forums, but I do not know who posted it so
    : cannot give it credits. If anyone knows
    : please state so.
