It would be a lot better if the King used his extensive collection like those in the trusts in Sweden and the Netherlands, reserving some of the bigger pieces for the Queen and leaving the others open to be worn by the various ladies of the Royal Family.
It would keep the collection together and not see important pieces being auctioned of in one or two generations as we have seen with the pieces of the Kents and Princess Margaret.
At the same time the various ladies of the family could display the collection well. Considering there were no issues about having 1300 servicemen and women parading for president Trump and organising a fly pass with the three national colours of both nations i doubt any idea's about saving costs were part of the preparations of this particular state visit.
Image if Catherine had worn the Greville emerald tiara last night. It would have worked very well with her outfit and given a nice surprise because you never know what the various ladies will wear for a Tiara event.
What's the use of dozens of tiara's in a vault if you wear only 4 or 5 pieces?

Well Camilla is fast approaching 80 and Kate is a very modest woman and so is Anne. Predictable choices are to be expected by all three. The Sapphire tiara suits Camilla beautifully. Kate pulled out her most grand tiara. Nothing to complain about except that long hair and tiaras are rarely a good combination imho.

For a monarchy with the largest collection of grand jewels it is quite disappointing to see the same pieces time and time again when we know beautiful other pieces are rarely or never worn. Previous Message
Again ! So boring they have so many tiaras at their disposal. And Camilla with the Belgian sapphire necklace tiara 😤😤🦯 Previous Message
William and Catherine have posted a pic of them in their outfits for tonight. The princess is in a Philippa Lepley gown and has once again opted for the Lovers' knot tiara. Previous Message
The Girls of Great Britain tiara and Queen Alexandras kokoshnik are still on display at the edwardian exhbition at Buckingham Polace so unlikely.
I guess she will go for the american flag (like she did at the french SV) so probably a white gown a ruby tiara and the Order of the Garter
As dfor Cahterine i hope something different then the Loves Knot tiara, but this one is most likely Previous Message
Are there any guesses about the tiaras the royal ladies will wear attending tonight's state banquet at Windsor Castle?
As the funeral of the Duchess of Kent was only yesterday I believe we'll only see white gowns and diamond or diamond and pearl jewels from the Royal ladies.
For Queen Camilla that could mean another outing of the Girls of Great Britain tiara or Queen Alexandra's fringe tiara.
The Princess of Wales is probably going to wear the Lovers' knot tiara though I would love to see a. new piece on her. Maybe one of the fringe tiaras and necklaces that are part of the Royal collection.
The Princess Royal could stun with her big tiara she so far has only worn for the Chinese state dinner a few years ago, that would give us a better view of the piece but im expecting the Greek meander tiara for her.
The Duchess of Edinburgh will most likely wear her reworked wedding tiara or the Papyrus tiara.
The Duchess of Gloucester is probably going for the smaller Invea tiara or the diamond version of the Palmette tiara.
Any thoughts?
