What a shame that Princess Leonor was not there with them.

Queen Letizia and Marie Chantal have already coincided in public events, they were at the memorial for Prince Philip of Edinburgh, unfortunately, I have the feeling that they have no relationship, and even worse, their husbands, they do not appear to have a good relationship, that is sad

.King Felipe is the godfather of the baptism, his attendance is justified, and I imagine that Queen Letizia will not go attend because she has events on her agenda. The reason for her non-attendance is not Marie Chantal.

Ingrid Alexandra's tiara is as expected, I think. After they announced that she was given this tiara for her birthday it was kind of obvious. Why else would they have announced it.
I think that Amalia is wearing the star version of the button tiara. I'm a bit surprised, but the Dutch have so many to choose from, and it's a nice not to her mother.
Elisabeth, now that is a real surprise, at least for me. :wink: A new tiara, and quite a big one, though I'm not yet sure if I like it.
What is Estelle wearing? A headband?

Brrr... Hanging hair + diadem often is no success and that is proven by the Princess of Orange.

The birthday girl and the Duchess of Brabant look fantastic.

Queen Máxima with the collier consisting of thickstone rectangular diamonds and a lower setting of the Diadem with the so-called House Diamonds, she is packing out for the event.

Mary-Rose · #**328** 06-17-2022, 01:47 PM

To be honest I´m not impressed so far.. The biggest surprise Mary wearing the Midnight Tiara..

Princess Ingrid Alexandra is very beautiful, and the tiara is magnificent.
Duchess of Brabant wearing a new tiara. What will be the story of this tiara?
What is that in Estelle's head? a tiara?
I also like the tiara chosen by Princess Catharina-Amalia.

This is the biggest version of the photo of the heirs so far, there you can see Estelle's headband a little better

A headband matching the belt on her dress.

The Duchess of Brabant's diadem has similarities with the diadem of Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg.

Marie-Chantal is wearing Queen Sophie's big diamond tiara for the second time. I guess this means that it was not a loan, as some people assumed when she wore it the first time.

Elisabeth's new tiara makes me fear that the art deco bandeau is actually lost for the main line, and I really hate that thought.

norwegianne · #**334** 06-17-2022, 01:55 PM

It would be interesting if Elisabeth was also wearing a tiara from their mutual Swedish great grandmother, Princess Ingeborg, as I assume not all her jewels ended in Norway, but, they probably would have been familiar to Belgian royal watchers and worn before?

I saw (I think) Morten Borg, Marius' father and Marius' brother Lucas and their stepbrother, Emanuel Maktabi.

Actually I like it that a mother gives her most important private jewel to her very only daughter, with equally loved granddaughters to her as the granddaughters by Laurent and Philippe.

Philippe can always purchase new ones, he gets plenty of annual state money. And Elisabeth will get plenty of annul state money herself. So I can understand an eventual decision to give it to her only and very beloved girl, Astrid.

That would be a shame. We will have to wait and see if maria Laura is also wearing on her Wedding Day. Lets hope the tiara Elisabeth wears today belongs to her and is not a loan as it quiet big and looks nice. I think it resembles a bit the Poltimore tiara.

Are Princess Astrids and Princess Ragnhilds family also attending?

It's lovely to see how many of the soldiers in the ceremonial guard are women.

I quite liked seeing that Storting president Masud Gharakhani was in a bunad.

Which orders are Princess Elisabeth, Duchess of Brabant and the Princess of Orange wearing the decorations of in the portrait just published by media outlets? (It does not seem to be on the official website yet.)

If their countries had continued with gender-discriminatory succession to the throne, all the heirs other than Charles of Luxembourg might have been excluded in favor of Prince Sverre Magnus, Count Claus-Casimir of Orange-Nassau, Prince Gabriel of Belgium, and Prince Alexander of Sweden instead.

Acutrally not many of her Jewels ended in Belgium.- We know about a few emeralds and a brooch who is now in Luxembourg. the emeralds likels where given to Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte.
