The ‘Delaware visit’ of King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia celebrating the 375th jubilee of Swedish settler’s arrival in Delaware and (starting today and ending on May 11) is actually a much broader visit to the USA with stops in New York City, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and...

A beautiful new necklace for Queen Silvia, worn for the Stockholm County jubilee visit yesterday - it corresponds nicely with the fringed lapels of her Chanel jacket here, and I wonder what the drops are made of: http://s17.postimg.org/hjc55m1of/Screenshot_1.jpg

I'm certain that it's her own hair - combed over a filler underneath to create the roll in the neck, and teased on top to create the volume behind the tiara. In general, people think rather too quickly of fake hair pieces (also when it comes to CP Mary, Queen Silvia etc.) when it's actually the...

Not so perfect IMHO - it would have been easy to tease the hair a bit in the front to give it more volume in order to cover the rather ugly base of the tiara. The tiara itself was not properly centered either but shifted a bit to the right, so I would not label Maxima's inthronisation tiara...

Yesterday, the Swedish Royal Family attended the funeral of Princess Lilian’s Court Marshal and close friend Elisabeth Palmstierna at the Stockholm Palace Church. Link to photo gallery from lethikuva: Taas surua Ruotsin hovissa - Edesmenneen prinsessa Lilianin hovineidon hautajaiset | Lehtikuva...

Two pictures from the return reception at the Hotel Esplanade in Zagreb last night - dress code was as expected just business suit / cocktail dress, but Queen Silvia wears her modern V-shaped diamond necklace with ruby pendant: http://s11.postimg.org/5xng5yvfn/edoris.jpg...

...in Croatia. If it was Austria, she'd be wearing a tiara, but probably no ugly dress designed by Natan. ;)

That would really be fun! The V-shaped diamond necklace with cabochon emerald pendant is part of set #3, by the way - there are matching cabochon emerald stud earrings and a ring with a large cabochon emerald flanked by two diamonds. Would be great to see the "tie" Art-Deco-style emerald set #4...

For the Croatian state dinner, Queen Silvia was indeed wearing one of her several contemporary emerald sets (this one was first seen in 2002) but with different, new earrings, as mentioned by Josefine: http://s23.postimg.org/5f7um1w5n/Screenshot_1.jpg

For the state dinner in Croatia last night, Queen Silvia wore her deep purple gown embroidered in black lace, with side train and bolero jacket; the jewelry is one of her several contemporary emerald sets. Full views: http://s8.postimg.org/f5d46n96t/silvia_carl_gustaf_scanpix4.jpg...

Queen Silvia today, perfectly elegant for the first day of the state visit to Croatia, in a new suit made of embossed fabric in a pattern of white roses on off-white, with pill box hat and Hermès Birkin bag – views from the front: http://s17.postimg.org/ya6rsw233/stairs.jpg...

State banquets for Royals in Austria always have a white tie and tiara dress code. GD Maria Teresa's evening dress unfortunately features all the signature elements of a Natan aka Edouard Vermeulen design and must be one of the worst I've ever seen her in. Unflattering, without craftsmanship...

Not the same hat at all. Both of them unflattering though.

Good view of the royal blue chiffon gown worn by Queen Silvia for the Mentor charity gala dinner in Kuwait City on Saturday: http://s1.postimg.org/3r9y14fa7/Dress_Kuw.jpg Top part: http://s9.postimg.org/jpcdc1jsv/Dress_Kuw_Top.jpg

Perhaps the title of this topic could be changed? This is obviously a full state visit, not an economic mission. EDIT: Thank you! :flowers:

Thank you very much LadyFinn for finding all these Instagram pics! Here are links to two articles with a few more pics and a detailed description of what Queen Silvia’s three-day-trip on behalf of ‘Mentor’ is actually about: United efforts to prevent youth from becoming drug victims | Kuwait...

Very elegant appearance by Queen Silvia tonight at a dinner for her anti-drug charity ‘Mentor Foundation’ in Kuwait: A chiffon dress in vivid blue, embroidered in darker blue sequins, with a cape-like top which ends in a short train in the back, worn with one of her modern emerald sets and a...

I have never seen Queen Silvia wearing it before, so it could have a connection to Kuwait. Actually looks like there are three golden inscribed (in Arab?) plaques in the necklace - Enlargement: http://s17.postimg.org/b7fsa6rbz/Screenshot_2.jpg

:previous: Thank you, LadyFinn! Indeed this seems to be the only time that particular diamond piece was photographed, worn here as hair ornament, but it could also be a brooch. It doesn't resemble any other piece in the Queen's or the Bernadotte's collection - no idea where it might come from.

IMHO very incorrect, as Carl Philip's last name happens to be not Svensson but Bernadotte... and incorrect also because the Swedish people finance at least part of his and his girlfriend's life.

Very precise definitions, and for those who have only seen the 'Slitz' bikini and snake photos of Sofia Hellqvist, certainly an accurate assessment (though I can’t quite see the ‘glamour’ part in them). But her many photos taken when she was sixteen are definitely borderline soft porn, IMHO...

Of course that's possible but difficult to determine as we don't know these details of the settlement for sure. What we do know is that historic jewelry gifts like the emerald choker or The Queen Mother's sapphire were not 'given back' literally after the divorce, because Princess Diana...
