I do not hope history will repeat itself and we will see Queen Mary tone down her use of jewellery like Queen Alexandrine did.

Great to see Queen Mary wearing (part of) the Danish pearl parure. Of course, it was quite expected, and so not much of a surprise, that she now wears the jewels reserved for the Queen, but the pearl drop tiara really suits her.
I am a bit disappointed that she did not wear the necklace and the corsage brooch of the parure, she would have looked splendidly regal with the full parure - yet without overshadowing Queen Sonja and her equally-splendid Bernadotte emeralds (and her almost as much historic salmon dress! )
