It's a bandeau of daisies with tuqioses betweeen. The Queen inherited it from her mother. I think Mary has not worn a tiara because her Wedding tiara would to big compared to the the tiara of the Queen. It was also sometimes the Case at a State Visit of Queen Beatrix, Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Mxima to a southern Country (don't remember which one) where Beatrix was the only one wearing a tiara (the diamond badeau in this case).

Mary and Frederik join his father Henrik on a nostalgic trip to his childhood home in Hanoi - hellomagazine.com (2/11/2009).

Generally where Republics and Commonwealth countries are concerned, the visiting royal entourage (Queen Elizabeth not included) don't wear any major pieces of jewellery, or if they do, they keep it to a very minimal as seen here.

Only during incoming state visits do we see any real show of majesty.

Thank you for posting the article re Prince Henrik and his time spent growing up with his family in Vietnam. I was curious about their dealings with the plantations, and enjoyed learning about his tender visit to the cathedral in memorandum of his grandfather.

If the Vnecked dress was recycled into the gown she wore in Vietnam, she made a very wise choice. The color combination of the lace and lining look better now, and the boat neck is much more flattering and elegant than the V shape that the other had. Beautiful gown, just beautiful.

What a wonderfully emotional trip for Prince Henrik, to be able to see places from early childhood and share them with his family. Had the queen ever been there with him before?

I think its amazing that she designs most of her jewelery.

I agree that the dress code at this dinner looked abit odd. It looks half casual/half formal for a state occasion.

Why should QEII Be an exception to the rule? Is it because she is one of the more famous royals?

Being Queen of the Commonwealth would make her the exception to the rule, yes. And moreso when she is the Queen of a particular Commonwealth country, such as our own.

The Queen has also always worn a tiara when visiting republics aswell. Generally they have been either the Girls of Great Britain & Ireland tiara or the Grand Duchess Vladimir Kokoshnik.

Perhaps it was their four day state visit to India?

No, it is an heirloom from her mother. Sorry, I can't post photos, but I have pictures of a bride wearing it. Not sure if it was Queen Ingrid, but the picture are quite old, definitely before Queen Margrete was old enough to design anything
I also got pictures of the state visit to Tanzania in 2008, and the Queen wore the same tiara, same earrings, maybe even the same pearl necklace, but worn in 4 instead of 3 rows, the brooch looks the same AND she even wears the same dress!!! If I remember correctly, I copied these pics from the thread about the Tanzanian state visit.

Thanks for posting, JessRulz. The Frederik beer drinking photos are classic.

How could she? The Queen was still wearing her hat as well. CP Mary could not remove her hat if the Queen did not.
