In this case, there's no use cursing the poor photographers...
Curse the Windsors instead, for not providing any appriopriate photo opportunities during the Buckingham Palace state banquets.
Heaven knows why they don't (in contrast to banquets at Windsor Castle) and instead decide to NOT give the public what it's due.
I agree that Anne wore the shipping company festoon tiara.

Yes - fair point Boris. You would think that they would set up adequate opps wouldn't you - they seem to come out of all the other RF's big events, with line ups of the whole crowd - just not our lot. Boo.

The Princess Royal wears a new necklace of black and white pearls, with new black pearl stud earrings to Henley Regatta 2010.
Is this an early birthday present for her 60th?
The royals also will have a sea cruise to celebrate birthdays of The Duke of York and the Princess Royal.

I am sorry, but I don't agree. It is a very classical design - and it would look wonderful with the right hairdo. Maybe someone could do some photoshopping - and play around with other princesses.
My personal guess is - once Zara Philips is getting married, she will wear this tiara on her wedding day...

I also LOVE that green dress HM is wearing. Anyone know where a full length pic might be?

Link works, thanks very much. I have never seen these rubies previously, is anybody familiar with their provenance?

It is not publicly known if she owns the scroll tiara or if it was loan from the Queen. I think that the same goes for the 2nd tiara. The third tiara was a present from a shipping company, given to Princess Anne when she christened a ship.

I think the aquamarine tiara was a gift from the Queen Mother.

Do you mean from the Queen Mother to Elizabeth II? The Queen has worn the Cartier aquamarine tiara but it probably became obsolete or surplus to requirements when the large Brazilian aquamarine tiara was created. She gifted the Cartier tiara to Princess Anne who has worn it in a re-fashioned version.

I thought from the Queen Mother to Princess Anne and Anne then changed it. Have never seen a pic from Queen Elizabeth II. wearing it.

Thus it is not the same as the Cartier pineflower tiara which went from the Queen Mother to Princess Anne.

You may well be right, in which case I stand corrected.
