No idea. She looks like the Dowager Marchioness of Mariño née Princess Norberta von und zu Liechtenstein: picture.
She is the stepmother of Doña Isabel Sartorius y Zorraquín, the long-rumoured girlfriend of Don Felipe de Borbón before Letizia came on the scene. Isabel was born in her late husband's first marriage.
I really hope Elia doesn't wear a ugly goat-head tiara tomorrow. I am not saying that I think the goat-heads are ugly, just that the setup of Queen Geraldine's was not the best.
The aquamarine tiara is clearly inspired by the famous pearl kokoshnik, but it's not the same. And not quite as elegant and balanced in it's design, imho. But the GD is faithful to the kokoshnik design, which obviously typically Russian. Even her hat/hair piece at the day event was very much inspired by the kokoshnik style.grand duchess maria vladimirovna at the wedding

The Belgian royals will visit Denmark in early 2017. I think Mathilde will wear the base of the Nine Provinces tiara, and Mary will wear the Ruby tiara. Though I hope she will wear her new tiara.
Are there any incoming State Visits to the UK planned this autumn/winter as we generally see more tiaras at the British ones.
There will likely be atleast one Countess Bernadotte there as Countess Bettina and her brother Count Björn seems to be there every year. I think it would be nice to see all of the "Mainau Siblings" Bettina, Björn, Christian, Catherina and Diana present
