I don't think we will see mabel often wearing a tara as she is no member of the Royal Hpouse she will not participate in State Functions in the Netherlands and there are no other tiara-occasions in the Netherlands. And i don't except her to attend many Events in the scandinavian Monarchies (where tiaras are worn for this sort of bashes) either. I think it is nice that the Dutch royal ladies share their tiaras so we see them not agan and again and again in the same tiara like we do with Mary and Mette-Marit. The spanish Ladies do the same but there the big tiaras are reserved for the Queen.

Yes thanks for correcting me, Mabel wasn't there, I still feel that Someone like Mabel and Laurientine should be able to have their own tiara, or one worn excusively by them when they do have occasions to go to.

Well, no Dutch royal apart from Princess Irene has a tiara/parure of their own. All of them are to be shared, probably with the understanding that the bigger pieces are reserved for the Queen. Mabel might possibly wear Laurentiens wedding tiara next time etc. The Dutch royals seem to treat these things like a policemanscap, as part of the uniform but without any sentimental value.

To Emeralds and Opals: that are Albert, Paola and Boudewijn indeed; it was during Juliana's state visit to Belgium. I believe prince Bernhard was ill and could not attend.

This weekend i visited paleis Soestdijk. There was an exhabition of pictures of Queen Juliana. One of the most beautiful pictures of the Queen was, wearing the Stuart Diademe, made in 1961, because of her 12 1/2 year Anniversary being a queen. Does anyone of you have this picture and can post it here?
I don't know were to post this question in this forum, that's why i post it here.

There are pictures of Queen Juliana wearing the Stuart Diadem on the previous two pages; maybe the picture you are looking for is there.

Thank you for your answer Warren, but unfortunately not. I've never seen the picture before, but it was an official picture, so it must be a public one.

I've found them:

Ansichtkaart t.g.v. 12,5 jarig bestaan regeringsjubileum

koninklijk huis, koninginnen, prinsen, staatsportretten, jubilea, Juliana, konin…

In Palace Soestdijk they were in full colour and magnificent...

A picture with a very good view of the Stuart parure, worn by Queen Juliana. Click on the 3rd picture on the 1st row and zoom in.

The design actually looks nice on this picture IMO.

[Katrianna]

Queen Juliana knew how to wear Royal jewels and she wore them regally.

[Volmer]

Great photo! Does anybody what brooche she is wearing? I don't think I've ever seen it before.

[SASSY]

That photo is amazing! I actually love the scroll design of this tiara. I really wish someone would take it down to it's smaller setting since no one has ever seen it. And maybe it's just me but that necklace would make a great tiara....BTW is she smoking?

The bow brooch is also part of the Stuart parure. Queen Juliana has worn it regulary (either in combination with the Stuart tiara or with the diamond bandeau) but Queen Beatrix has never worn it.

Me to! A few months ago it was rumored in Dutch royalty programmes and magazines that the tiara has been to the court jeweller for that reason. But I am not sure where they did get the information from. I would be nice if HM would at least wear the Stuart diamond once, maybe as a brooch.

I forgot about the Stuart diamond as a brooch. Let's hope it's not a rumor.

[Katrianna]

I remember the rumor as well and at the time, it was also rumored that the Stuart tiara was sent to a jeweler in hopes that it was being readied to wear to Victoria of Sweden's wedding by the Queen. We all know that didn't happen.

Thanks Marengo, but I actually meant the brooch on her shoulder. Do you have more information on that one?

[Marengo]

No, I have never seen any jewel that resemblkes uit worn by a Dutch royal, which makes me wonder if it is actually a brooch and not something else (belonging to an order or to the dress, unlikely I know...)

Hi!

The brooch Queen Juliana wore on her shoulder is not part of an order insignia or the dress. HM has also worn in at Prinsjesdag in 1960. Judjing by the way it's placed, we can assume that it's a clip, maybe even Art Deco. Her daughter Irene wore it at the christening of her son Prince Carlos, the current Duke of Parma. Since then I've not seen photos of anyone wearing it.

ETA - I just found a photo/portrait of Princess Irene wearing the brooch in 1959.

Thanks Bobby! That is an interesting find! Perhaps it belongs to the private jewels of princess Irene now? i have never seen her wearing it recently though. But apart from some earrings and bracelets, princess Irene hasn't worn larger pieces for decades of course. Maybe it will be worn by her new daughter-in-law soon.

This tiara is amazing! I wonder why Beatrix has never worn it.I hope Maxima wears it someday!

[Patra]

Well, of they still own the Stuart Diamond Tiara (and I sincerely hope that is the case) then I wish we may see it on lovely Queen Maxima when that day arrives!
