I think you’re right John, I foresee her quietly taking a minor role if at all, due to her unpredictable health. IA will be First Lady, which I think weighs heavily on her already based on her serious countenance. Now she has to attend university AND attend events when possible, with Sverre going away for university himself.

I doubt it will be a full gala event with all the trimmings. That would require MM and IA to set an example by wearing significant tiaras. I don t foresee MM wearing the Emerald Tiara, ever. The Maltese Tiara? Nope. Most likely candidate the diamond tiara... although Astrid's Turkoise Parure would look good on MM ... For now I don t see many options to be frank. Somehow I think MM will leave the position of most senior royal lady to Ingrid Alexandra. Previous Message
I totally agree. There haven't been worn tiaras in the past and they definitely won't start wearing them now (if there is a Consecration ceremony at all).
Now, in the case of the Consecration of King Harald V and Queen Sonja there was a white-tie dinner the day before. So we might, just might , see a tiara or two in Trondheim the day before this time around too, though I fear it is highly unlikely. Previous Message
No tiaras for certain. Previous Message
…. if King Haakon chooses to have a Consecration.
I doubt Queen Mette-Marie would wear a tiara, I think she would go bare-headed. A cloth kokoshnik would be a copy of Queen Sonja but maybe she wants to keep that as a tradition.
But bareheaded is my guess, with her hair perhaps dressed in a way it won’t get disturbed when the Bishop lays his hands.
If she DID wear a tiara, which I doubt, I can imagine the diamond daisies as that tiara is so modest.
