Yep, it was predictable.That's why lumutqueen and I got our guess right (let's pat our own shoulders
). And I wish we were wrong in this one, these repetitions get so boring. And it wouldn't really cost them anything to vary the ancient jewels, so the crisis it no good excuse. The SRF does not have that many tiara, but those they have are all beautiful and wearable. But for some reason they keep their jewellery very understated. As if they don't want to be too showy while there is talk about a republic (my guess). They don't have us royal watchers and tiaraholics in mind when choosing their outfits. You know, I guess they all have a fairly good idea about what is going on on the internet and forums like ours. Maybe the royals don't check out the net themselves, but surely they have a public relations department who keep an eye or two on the www and hand in a report to their bosses once in a while.
I haven't heard about another state visit scheduled for this year. So the next event might be the annual New Year reception in Denmark.
Last year: Queen Margrethe wore the pearl tiara, Mary the gorgeous rubies, Marie the floral tiara.
I haven't yet made up my mind, so you may go ahead guessing.
P.S. I agree about the beard, it's doing nothing for Felipe. We can only hope that at least Letizia likes it.
... and let us know if I missed out another event for this year
