: Both Fabiola and Paola wore the Nine
: Province
: tiara on State/official visits abroad very
: often. They did not have so many tiaras,
: whereas a State visit abroad usually
: requires two tiaras (one for the State
: dinner, and one for the return dinner, +
: possibly a third one when a gala reception
: at the opera or at the theatre is also
: scheduled). So they had little other option
: to wear frequently the Nine Province Tiara
: in addition with one of their other tiaras
: (the Medinaceli tiara or the Wolfers
: necklace/tiara for Fabiola, Queen
: Elisabeth's Art Déco bandeau for Paola).
