If there is a mass, expect it to be in the Cathedral de la Almudena. The Cathedral de la Almudena is in Madrid, directly across a small plaza from the Palacio Real. It was the location of the Prince of Asturias's 2004 wedding to Letizia Ortiz.

It is amazing. Even my relatively-small middle-American city newspaper (where getting a new police chief is a front page article) picked up the story! Usually I don't see anything about any royal family besides the Brits except in the "Around the World" paragraph blurbs.... Willem-Alexander's...

:crown5: She wore the Modern Fringe Tiara! :crown5: Elevated atop a small wreath? of flowers. I didn't love the flowers, they made the tiara look a bit like a hair-comb- well, not as beautiful as usual, imo.

I loved seeing Lilian's tiara on Victoria today. So sweet and sentimental! I was concerned (as we jewelry nuts can be about jewelry) about how it would look on Vic but actually she wore it quite well. The necklace was stunning. Warren, or any Swedish or Jewelry experts, does that necklace have...

I love this dress... from the bust up. The waist bothers me. The skirt and bodice just join in a straight seam. I think it would have looked better if the skirt either flowed from the bodice (like Stéphanie's wedding dress) or had a waistband (like Victoria's wedding dress). Maybe if it was...

I think I've figured out Mabel's problem. There's a well-known quote by Coco Chanel- "before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off." That's Mabel's problem- she has these lovely outfits and then makes one bad decision and messes them up. For example, at Victoria's...

Lots of good pictures here. (originally posted by ladongas) It's odd, but I like Mabel's dress from the Water Pageant. ^^had to take a second and let that sink in. I actually like a dress of Mabel's. Scary. :eek:

Mary, Mary, Mary! Why did you wear that white and black floral thing to the inauguration today, then turn around and choose something elegant to wear this evening? The floral would have been perfect for the boat.

Ugh. What a disappointment! It seems to be very difficult to pair hats with long dresses. What was Stephanie wearing? Her mother-in-law's dress and one of Beatrix's hats? Stephanie, if you forgot your hat at home borrow one from Maxima, not Bea! I was positive Mary was going to really bring...

where's the swoon-y smiley when you need one? OMG.

I found this article tonight from Viktor and Rolf, the dress designers She got one thing right- it certainly was memorable....

oh dear me, please no!

I would agree, partially because I'm not that good at sport! There'd be nothing romantic about dropping the ring and having to crawl on your hands and knees looking for the ring on the floor or under the furniture!

Funny but true- the second I opened that picture the ABBA song "Dancing Queen" started playing in my head! :rofl:

Thank you Shelo and everyone else! I'm blushing :blush::wub: The day Máxima wears the Wurttemberg Pearl tiara will be a happy day.
