Princess Diana at state opening of parliament - YouTube
there's Diana at the Opening of parliament in 1981 :)! would be nice to see the Duchess in a tiara again :P :D
before 1975 The ceremony took place in the castle in the so called "parlament hall" and it was a very grandeur event.
Now to answer your question, The black clothes has it's origin from the ladies court-dresses.
Those were the days :)
Thank you very much for your help! For selfish reasons I do wish that they will return to the crown so we could se them more regularly... I can imagine Princess Madeleine in the tiara given to Princess Desiree!
Have Princess Desirees' Daughter/daughter in law worn the tiara for their wedding etc?
Hi! Does anyone know what these tiaras are called, and where they have disappeared to? :)

I'm not sure if this is the right forum but the tiara Marie was looking at on the jewelry exhibition last week, is that her own tiara now or just named after her? :)
