It seems like it is a problem with posting the photo of Astrid, but see pic two in this news report: https://www.adressa.no/nyheter/innenriks/i/pQr1g6/foerste-diplomatmiddag-paa-slottet-siden-foer-koronapandemien https://app.tt.se/media/image/sdlQEMMtReagFc_WatermarkPreview.jpg
Queen Sonja wore Queen Maud’s pearl tiara and Princess Astrid wore her grandmother’s ruby flower aigrette.
If you zoom in on Astrid’s aigrette you would see that the centre element was mounted upside down compared to how she has worn it in the past. Maybe a mistake by a new hairdresser?
Anyway, does this mean that the two antennas are flexible and can be removed?
Many news reports of Maud’s wedding gifts in 1896 described the gift from «lady and gentlemen friends» as a brooch, but Beth has previously posted news reports and a sketch of the ruby aigrette on the History of Famous Jewels and Collections MB: https://mb.boardhost.com/historyroyaljewels/msg/1566679737.html
