State Visit to Malta: November 2005

[Margrethe II]

After looking over the photos I'm really not sure about the tiara. As I have never seen it on the Queen before I think it looks somewhat odd. Maybe I am still associating it to much with the Queen Mum?

This is one of the best photographs I have seen of the Queen nearing 80. Why no garter sash?

That is a funny pic. I wouldnt be suprised if the Daily Mail picked it too.

Very funny!


These are really great pictures.

The Queen wore also a ruby ring and a bracelet which I don't know (see the toast picture). It's a bit unusual, because it doesn't seem to me she's particularly fond of rings (besides her engagement and wedding rings, of course).

I also like very this new grey outfit and hat.

Finally, this is the first time that I see her and Philip staying under the same umbrella. That's nice. So romantic.

The Queen has looked lovely on this trip! And the "new" tiara was a real smash hit! I also think that Queen Elizabeth looks great in red, so I'm glad to see her in this colour today.

Here's another picture from the arrival to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Valletta, Malta today. From Yahoo News/AP.
