You are absolutely right She wore the Papal Order only......
ADuring the Reign of King Baudoun, The Belgian Sash for Ladies was very large. Queen Paola asked smaller belgian Sashes of the Order of Leopold , but she never wore it.
Mathilde and Elisabeth are wearing our Greatest Order perfectly.
I can remember one exception, and that was when she visited The Vatican. Papal Orders, one supposes, were sacred to her only- not secular ones. +
So Queen Fabiola received plenty of foreign orders but never wore them because SHE thought orders were only to be worn by reigning monarchs? She was such an interesting character, wasn't she...
Queen Fabiola never wanted to wear a Sash , she said it was for the King. A lot of diplomatic incidents happened .
Queen Paola never wore the Leopold order , but foreign Orders .
Queen Elisabeth (third Queen) wore the Leopold Order for the Wedding of Princess Juliana.
Im not sure there is a tradition. I do know Queen Fabiola never wore an order. Paola did both as princess of Liege and as Queen. So Mathilde is certainly not the first. Paola wore orders from Spain, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands to name a few i could simply get images of on google.
Is there a reason why Belgian queens and princesses prior to Mathilde did not wear the national order?
The Duchess looked stunning. And although I typically prefer to see a tiara worn upright as much as possible, in this case I would like to see her wearing this tiara a bit wider and titled back because its quite high and narrow. I have a feeling it would look better on her.
Our Crown Princess great tiara for a belgian Royal, she wears her Mother's recent new brooch and our most important Belgian Sash never Queen Paola and Fabiola wore. Her Mother is the first wearer of it .
Well done !
The Princess of Orange looked very regal indeed! And I must agree that her hair was much better last night than what it was in Oslo. The Peacock tiara really suits her and hopefully we will get to see her more in that in the years to come.
I also just wanted to say that she did a lovely curtsy to the King (and I suspect to the Queen also though the moment she greeted the Queen of Jordan was not visible in the footage I saw)
I agree this is a much better look for her. the style of the dress, the jewels and the hair look really good. The first event was mainly an emotional choice for her mother's wedding diadem. The dress in bright pink had a young colour but looked in style a bit mature on her. This dress is definitely more in her style. Like the green dress she wore for Prinsjesdag it is a bit more romantic in style. It was good to see her gaining in confidence while being on show like this.
If she already looks this good in the Peacock diadem it will be fabulous to see her in the sapphire or the ornate pearl diadems.
Indeed much better combination of dress, tiara and hair that her first try that - IMHO - resulted in a rather Barbie-esk appearance in Norway: Pink, Stars and long locks...
I love it on her, and I also love that she wore a more formal tiara-ready hairstyle. She looked very regal!
The Ruby Peacock Tiara suits Amalia very well!
