OMG!!!!The Duchess looks really amazing and impressive in this fantastic Tiara when she first time wearing a Tiara.Great work, Duchess, she is doing really well.
I think Queen Sonja wearing a dress that she had worn several times?And The QUeen wearing the same dress she visited Norway in 2001.Any other pics of other members of The Royal Family?I can see Edward in the background but not seeing Sophie yet, but it is the first time the Duchess wearing her Tiara so i think the light will go to the Duchess much more though.
It might declare the role of the Duchess clearly now, she'll be Queen thought they said that she will be Princess Consort but no way!She will be Queen, thats even she can stand for the Official Photo at The Gala Banquet.But anyway The Duchess has been doing well.

Mette-Marit seems to me, without having seen any close ups, to be wearing Queen Maud's fan tiara. Sonja's at it with her regular emeralds.

Definately! Whether Queen or Princess Consort, she'll get that Garter!

They could create a brilliant portrait of the Wales' by cutting Charles and Camilla off of the end and using that as their publicity shot.

Queen SOnja checking Queen Elizabeth's dress

http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=205965 Is that The Queen wearing the Grand Duchess Vlademir Tiara?

I love MM's dress!

Roxsteve · #**148** 10-25-2005, 05:42 PM

Camilla looks radiant. I think she has proven everyone that she is very likable and a wonderful woman for Prince Charles. They both seem so happy.

Through Crown Princess Märtha, née Princess Märtha of Sweden, I believe.

We need to see another shot, but it looks like they opened it in the back so it could be worn as a tiara, rather than like a crown high on the head the way Queen Mary wore it.

I think Camilla looks great in it! She has a big hairdo and needed a large tiara, rather than one that would be lost in her hair.

Certainly looks like it.

auntie · #**153** 10-25-2005, 05:48 PM

I think it's high time Queen Sonja received another Tiara and matching necklace! (Parure if I'm not mistaken) after Queen Poala of Belgium, she has the least Jewels of all the Queens!:(

Margrethe II · #**154** 10-25-2005, 05:48 PM

I'm not quite sure what I think yet. A little more time is needed to get used to seeing the Duchess wear a tiara.

I agree auntie. HM the Queen Sonja does need another parure!

"MII"

**Elspeth** · #**155** 10-25-2005, 05:48 PM

I still don't see how that tiara is managing to be sitting at that angle as long as it's a crown-type affair. I'd love to see a back view.

Well, there we go! It was definately altered and opened up properly to fit correctly as a tiara. It really looks nice on the Duchess.

We also know now this was definately a gift from the Queen since the tiara belonged to the Royal Collection as one of Queen Mary's pieces. A very significant move on the Queen's part because Camilla received a tiara from the Queen's collection, just like Diana did.

Or is she? The picture with Camilla, and Mette-Marit in the background gives a close-up of the tiara, but I'm uncertain. The only other time I remember seeing that tiara was when Mette-Marit used it as a necklace, and I don't think there were red stones. Anybody with more tiara knowledge than me?

Edit: She seems to be wearing this: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...achmentid=2705 tiara... anybody know what it is called?
