Queen Paola Jewellery

[Hannelore]

and some more...

Paola has a sober but very elegant style that flatters her IMO.

As his queen consort you'd think King Albert would buy his wife a tiara or 2 as a present. Or try and track down the jewels that were sold and put a foundation on them so that they don't leave Belgium.

any good photos of the queens tiara she wore at the recent state visit

Here's a good photo of queen Paola at the Portuguese state visit to Belgium.

From Story.

I think that HM queen Paola would look great with a fringe tiara.

It's quite ridiculous that the wife of a reigning monarch has so little Jewels to speak of. Besides the 9 province tiara, only one other, no fabulous diamonds. The Belgian RF should fork out a bob or two and start creating a collection for the future Quuens!

This woman as a young lady was absolutely STUNNING!!! Elegant and so put together....much better to than Princess Grace.

How did this bandeau come into the possession of Queen Paola? Was it a gift to her from HM The Queen of England?

Queen Elisabeth of Belgium, King Albert's grandmother

I must say that as a Queen she has 2 tiaras and that is definitely too few.Other queens seem to have a lot more like Queen Elizabeth,Queen Siliva or even Queen Beatrix.No wonder Princess Mathilde only have 1 tiara.It's pathetic.

Queen Paola has 4 tiaras: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...9&d=1054747631

I am struck by how different Queen Paola looked through the years and especially with different hairstyles. She resembled different people with each change:

The last one is NOT a tiara, rather a hairornament

[Hans]

hairornament or not.... tiara or not.... it is quite lovely and Cathérine posted some pictures of Paola wearing it, and it was very lovely !!

Wow, Queen Paola was an amazingly beautiful woman. She looks fine now, but you would never suspect how beautiful she was in her youth.
