Anyway, I still find that the level of pageantry and the quality of the dresses and of the jewels were well suited to a State banquet - it was much, much better than what we saw a few days ago during the State banquet of the Danish State visit to France...
I realize that Queen Camilla has now already worn most of the tiaras worn by the late Queen Elizabeth II: the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, Queen Alexandra's Kokoshnik, King George VI's Sapphire suite, the Burmese ruby tiara, the Diamond Diadem... The only two exceptions are the Vladimir Tiara (whether in its pearl or in its emerald version) and the Brazilian Aquamarine tiara, which Queen Camilla has still not worn... Previous Message
It's sad to see that the owners of one of the grandest collections of royal jewels in Europe opt to use them so sparsely.
I like Camilla's necklace but I don't get the combination of her jewels. The collection has multiple diamond and turquoise pieces that would have suited much better together. Previous Message
It's going down down down with the tiara events by the BF... no tiara's at all during the coronation, no tiara's during this black tie banquet ( Norway and Netherlands y did during their statevisit to Italy in 2016 en 2017 even QE II). Previous Message
Have I missed something or does the British State Visit to Italy not have a state banquet for the King and Queen?
