Crown Princess Mette-Marit can now be added. It was yesterday announced that she is better an will attend
Queen Anne-Marie is also confirmed and i'm pretty sure that Pavlos and Marie-Chantal of Greece will also be there as Pavlos is one of Christian's godfathers.

What all the other Royal ladies will wear can be difficult to guess, but I think it is a pretty safe bet that Mette-Marit will wear her usual Daisy one.

What is also a pretty safe bet is that we won't see any representatives from the UK nor from Spain. I would be very happy to be proven wrong as I think it is a great shame that they don't use these kind of events to knit a closer bond between the families, and especially among the younger generations.

I do hope that there will be a larger group of the Greek cousins present, but it might just be Crown Prince Paul and his wife since he is one of the godparents. If Crown Princess Marie-Chantal attends I wish she will wear a "proper" tiara this time and not just a bracelet in her hair.

And from the Netherlands... just imagine if we get a triplet: Queen Máxima accompanying her two eldest daughters, both now above 18...

! Though I think it is more probable that the Princess of Orange will attend on her own.

I would also like the see the Art Deco bandeau on The Duchess of Brabant, which would give me hope that Queen Paola intends it stay with the main line. But I also can imagine she is saving it for the future bride of Prince Gabriel. Who can say?

There have been mentions of not only Catherina-Amalia but also Alexia and both of their parents attending the event.

Im looking forward to Amalia's third tiara event and Alexia's first.
It would be great to see what both of them will wear.

As for the Duchess of Brabant she currently owns only one tiara her parents bought for her, so that is most likely the piece she'll wear.

Tiara Guesses for Prince Christian's 18th Birthday

Posted by The Royal Watcher <iframe src='https://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/info/user=The+Royal+Watcher' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on October 13, 2023, 12:23 pm, in reply to "What can we expect for the white tie dinner in Denmark (Christian 18)"

They’ll announce the full guest list on Sunday, but these are my Tiara predictions for Prince Christian of Denmark’s 18th Birthday Gala, with the Royals already confirmed and some more I think we might see:

I think Queen Margrethe will be wearing the Floral Aigrette Tiara and the Crown Diamond Parure, since that is the same combination worn to Crown Prince Frederik’s 18th Birthday Gala. The Aigrette Tiara has not been worn at all this year, in contrast to the Pearl Poiré Tiara, which makes me think she might be saving it for this special occasion.

We will probably see her Diamond Daisy Brooch worn, possibly for the Balcony Appearance though I would love to see it worn on her sash for the gala in the evening with the coordinating earrings.

Crown Princess Mary should be wearing the Danish Ruby Parure since she has only worn it once this year and it would be perfect for the occasion (I still feel disappointed she did not wear the Ruby Parure for Crown Prince Frederik’s 50th Birthday). I do really hope to see the full necklace, which has only been worn three times since redesign in 2010. If not, I would like her to wear either her Wedding Tiara for Diamond Necklace Tiara as a necklace with the other as a Tiara, to create a more splendid look. Also, she will probably be wearing the Connaught Sapphire Brooch for the Balcony Appearance.

Princess Marie will probably be wearing Princess Dagmar’s Diamond Floral Tiara though I would not mind an appearance of her Flora Danica Tiara. I also think we will see Countess Alexandra attend, no doubt wearing the Alexandrine Drop Tiara.

The Greek Royal Family provide the biggest jewellery mystery because we will now see if their most important jewels have been passed on by Queen Anne-Marie. I would ideally like to see her in the Greek Emerald Parure or the Greek Ruby Parure but would also love to see either of those worn by Crown Princess Marie Chantal and Queen Anne Marie in the other parure or wearing the Khedive of Egypt Tiara again. If there have been no changes, we will wee Queen Anne Marie in the Emerald Parure, Marie-Chantal in Queen Sophie’s Diamond Tiara, and Olympia wearing the Miller Fringe Tiara. I would expect to see more Greeks, in which case, the Antique Corsage Tiara and Princess Alexia’s Diamond Tiara will no doubt be utilized.

Princess Benedikte will probably be wearing the Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg Fringe Tiara but I would like that to be worn by Princess Carina and for Princess Benedikte to instead wear Queen Sofia’s Pearl and Star Tiara.

Crown Princess Victoria has just worn the Baden Fringe Tiara so I suspect she will be wearing the Laurel Wreath Tiara again though I would like to wear a big necklace, like the Pink Topaz Parure, with it. Alternatively, I would love if she wore the Aquamarine Kokoshnik Tiara, which not only has a link with the Danish Royal Family but would also go well with the Order of the Elephant.

We could hope (in vain) for something new on Crown Princess Mette-Marit but it will probably be the Diamond Daisy Bandeau or the Norwegian Amethyst Tiara again.

Princess Ingrid-Alexandra will no doubt be wearing Princess Ingeborg’s Boucheron Pearl Circle Tiara, with the Danish Order of the Elephant, which she received last year. I would like to see some other heirloom jewels, maybe Crown Princess Märtha’s Pearl Earrings?

The Duchess of Brabant will likely wear her Vestey Tiara but it would be great if she wore the Wolfers Necklace Tiara or Queen Elisabeth’s Diamond Bandeau, hopefully with the Diamond Necklace she received with from the Belgian Nobility.

The Princess of Orange has just confirmed her attendance, and I am personally hoping to see her wear Queen Emma’s Diamond Tiara.

I like a lot of your choices.

Margrethe II with the diamond floral aigrette
Mary with the full ruby set
Marie with her diamond tiara
Alexandra with the drop tiara

With Isabella being 16 might we see her with some jewel in her hair? No tiara but possibly a brooch?

Benedikte looks good in all her tiara's but i agree it would be nice to see Carina in the Berleburg fringe.
Are Alexandra and Nathalie both attending? Does Alexandra's husband have a tiara for his wife to wear? If not we might see Nathalie borrow the turquoise tiara of the Queen.

Anne-Marie might have handed over the emerald set to Marie-Chantal in that case i hope she wears the rubies. It would be nice to see Marie-Chantal with the emeralds.
No idea if any other Greek princesses are to attend. Maria Olympia and her aunt Alexia have their own tiara's. Leaving the antique corsage tiara for either Theodora or one of her sisters-in-law to wear.

Ingrid Alexandra is certainly going to wear her diamond an pearl tiara again. It seems Boucheron was not the creator of this piece.
I hope Mette-Marit will surprise us with Queen Maud's diamond tiara. As the tiara was given when Maud became a princess of Denmark by marriage it seems appropriate to debut this piece at a Danish court event. Unlikely as it is.

I agree that the aquamarine bandeau would be very fitting for Victoria and it works well with the order of the elephant.

For Amalia im hoping for the bandeau a la Grecque or the aquamarine tiara. They were the first tiara's of het grandmother and great-grandmother. She might also look good in the ears of wheat.

Elisabeth in her personal piece is the likely choice. I don't expect one of the tiara's of her mother or grandmother to show up as a necklace. Maybe she could loan one of the diamond necklaces of Paola?

Is there no representation from Luxemburg? I could see either Sebastian or Guillaume and Stephanie going. She looks best in the sapphire tiara, but it would be nice if she was to wear the diamond tiara of Josephine-Charlotte.

Yes Alexandra's husband owns a floral tiara which is very similar to the one of Benedikte. Alexandra has worn this one since her remarriage. Don't think she has worn one from her mother since then.

I am guessing she will wear the tiara that was given to her by her parents. Just like Ingrid Alexandra will wear her own tiara. I think Elisabeth's tiara is not worn properly. It's shaped too much as a coronet and sits on top of her head. If the frame is widened and the tiara placed more to the front and at a slight angle, the result would be much more pleasing I think. Amalia should opt for something she hasn't worn yet. I like that she's not shy and wears different tiaras from the collection. If Alexia attends it will be spectacular. As long as both stay away from the girlish Barbie tiara (stars). Yuk.

I think it could well be that Amalia goes for the peacock tiara again as it are the danish coliur red and white,. Would like to see her in the Laurel-wreath tiara, but that one doesn't seem to be a favourite of the dutch royal ladies except for Princess Laurentien who has worn it a few times.

Elisabeth in the Wolfers and as far as i can tell wearing it better than her mother or the late Queen Fabiola ever did.

Amalia is also wearing the trellis necklace with sapphires and a bracelet from Queen Wilhelmina's wedding gift sapphire set.

Lovely dress and great way to wear the tiara. Too bad she only had some smaller earrings to go with it.
I always feel sorry about how empty the Belgian jewel boxes are when they could have been so well provided for.
If you look at what Queen Elisabeth, Queen Astrid, princess Lilian, Queen Fabiola and Queen Paola had and join that with the pieces Marie-Jose inherited from her grandmother and brother you'd have a really amazing collection.
They still might need to add some amethysts and pink topaz just because they are the only country who can get away with it with the colour of their order.

The Wolfers tiara always looks like a framed necklace. Whoever wears it. It never really convinces as a tiara (same goes for Amalia with the Sapphire necklace tiara) I think Elisabeth's own tiara is pretty wearable if some adjustments are made. Also the Dutch Sapphire necklace tiara needs a bit of work still to really qualify as a convincing tiara. The sides of the tiara need some additional stones so that it graduates down to the frame. Now it comes to a full and abrupt stop on the sides. A bit of work by the Court Jeweller would do wonders IMHO.

I agree John R, but this was the best showing of it so far. They must have laid if flatter on its frame or something, it looked more like a tiara this time. What I appreciate about this piece, whether on the neck or on the hair, is the apparent quality of the stones. They always appear very lively and clear.

The mystery is, why the young Duchess wouldn’t have worn her 18th birthday tiara on her second tiara outing. Maybe she didn’t like it? or maybe the Belgians have decided to all share tiaras now and that new one is at Mathilde’s disposal?

I wonder if it might have something to do with it being a ‘Gala B’ event? The Danish Queen did not wear her big diamond parure and the Danish Crown Princess did not wear her big ruby parure.

The birthday was not the birthday of the Crown Prince - but of the son of the Crown Prince

I think you are right. With the exceptions of Marie-Chantal of Greece, Princess Benedikte and her daughter-in-law Carina all Royal women opted for something other than their biggest tiara.
So Elisabeth wearing a smaller piece (also allowing for hair down instead of up) made for a younger look for the Duchess of Brabant fitting the occasion.

Dutch small sapphire tiara

I'd prefer it if they returned the necklace to it's original shape and wore it with the tiara, stomacher, bracelets and the large version of Beatrix' diamond and sapphire earrings as a full set/parure.

I do however see the need for a second, smaller diamond and sapphire tiara for the Dutch Royals. I've been wondering how Queen Emma's sunburst tiara would look with eleven diamond and sapphire tops on them, but maybe they just need to bite the bullet and buy or create a new piece. There are the six elements from Wilhelmina's necklace so it might not take that much of an expense to create a decent smaller diamond an sapphire tiara for princesses to wear.
A simple solution would be to buy one or three sapphires to be used in Queen Emma's diamond tiara. The five sapphires from the elements of Wilhelmina's necklace could also become the centre of the second five diamond stars. They can be used in another version.

Finally we have the 5 diamond sunbursts from the top of the Van Kempen version of the House diamonds. I think the four pearls are part of the antique Pearl tiara but the sunbursts could still be there. Putting a sapphire in the centre of those 5 elements and putting them on a frame might create a very nice new tiara.

Re: Gala B

I am still not ready to call it a Gala B - even though it is not celebrating the first in line to the Danish throne. Prince Christian will eventually become King and to me it feels "right" to celebrate with a gala banquet, just like they did in Norway for Princess Ingrid Alexandra.

Ironically it is the second in line to the thrones of the new generation of European Royalty that have been celebrated in such a splendid and festive manner and not the first in line (Princess of Orange, Duchess of Brabant and soon the Princess of Asturias).

Queen Margrethe wore the Poire Pearl tiara, which is one of her finest pieces. And she combined this with pieces from the Crown Jewels that are not seen that often. Ok, it was not the Diamond necklace used at Crown Prince Frederik's wedding. But what she wore are still invaluable historic pieces and they happened to include ruby and diamonds which we all know is the colour of the Danish flag.

Mette-Marit wore what she always wears - so she would have worn this no matter what and not because this banquet was "less important".

Queen Anne-Marie wore a piece from her mother, the great grandmother of Prince Christian. So it probably had more affectional value than any of her other pieces. She also wore this to the gala in Sweden last month and I don't think that event can be called a "Gala B".

The Duchess of Brabant wore her own tiara at the banquet in Oslo for Princess Ingrid Alexandra, another gala for a second in line.

I actually think that the Royals use other criteria when chosing the jewels they wear; what goes with the outfit; historical connection and things like that. I could be wrong of course.

To be honest I quite like the Small Sapphire tiara, and I thought it looked good on the Princess of Orange. That the elements at each end ends abruptly is normally hidden by the hair anyway.

Of course, I don't mind it if they also play around with any of the other smaller tiaras to convert them temporarily into Sapphire pieces. The more variety the better!

I like the fact that she's following the example of Amalia: experiment a little. I am convinced she will look equally elegant in both her mother's and grandmother's tiaras.

Re: Gala B

I agree. I think most royals use different criteria for choosing a tiara which is at their disposal. Amalia has a huge collection of 'smaller' tiaras to pick from. Other Houses have a more limited collection to choose from. Many royal ladies have a dislike and preference for certain pieces. Mette Marit seems too modest to wear any grand jewels. She seems uncomfortable wearing them. Honestly, I can't even see her wearing the Emerald Tiara more than once when she's Queen. As for CP Mary, she seems quite fond of her modest wedding tiara/necklace she received from QMII and PH and the Edwardian piece she received from her husband but neither are very impressive.
For some reason she never opted for any of the other smaller pieces in the collection. The Ruby set does not go well with every outfit I think so that might be a limiting factor as well.

Re: Dutch small sapphire tiara

Let's get to work!

Problem with the (or any) dog-collar necklace is that its not always flattering the wearer. I am not sure it would look good as such on Amalia. Alexia maybe. She's more 'petite'. The extensions made to the necklace as worn by Juliana were not an aesthetic success either.It always looked fumbled and lumpy. It's a difficult piece as is and that might explain why its was converted to a tiara and topped with the lozenge elements from Queen Wilhelmina's Wedding Gift necklace. But as said, I think a bit more work on it would make a huge difference. I like the fact that they have a small sapphire tiara. The Trellis necklace with the sapphires works well. Through the years we have established that there still must be plenty of stones that came from that huge parure besides the smaller jewels that were created in the 1960's for Juliana's daughters. I would not be surprised if the sapphires in the Trellis necklace have the same origin. The dark colour seems to match.
