I'm not a fan of this tiara or the necklace ,I recall someone once referring to it as the Wonder Woman Tiara
Sonja wore the Large setting of the Queen Maud Pearl & Diamond Tiara tonight. She looks lovely tonight.
Sonja is wearing the emerald tiara tonight. I'm surprised she did as she wore to his last major birthday.
Oh well, it's her standard tiara for big events. I admit, that it is impressive, but I find the diamond tiara more graceful.
Thait is not certain. Only that it once belonged to Empress Amalie of Brazil.. And the diamond tiara's history is equally.It is her most historically significant tiara, not least because it once belonged to Empress Josephine, Napoleon's first wife.
She also wore the emerald tiara at his 50th birthday.
Also, it seems that Sonja rarely wears the full version of the Malteser tiara. I have only found 2 photos of her wearing it:

Here is a pic from a third event of Queen Sonja with the circlet. I don't know which event that was, but you can see that she was younger than on the two other pics above.

Why did the Queen wear a Sash and not the Collar as Queen Silvia and Margarethe ?
Queen Sonja hasn't been bestowed with the collar of the order. The exception is really Queen Silvia who has the collar as a consort, no other consorts have it.
Of the consorts, Queen Sofia of Spain has also the Grand Cross with Collar of the Order of the White Rose, she got it in 1978. And prince Henrik has it, he got it in 1973.
