Hmm, Victoria and Silvia usually recycle their dresses very often as well. Ithink they all rarely get new dresses.i agree with you. at the last events she worn the dress very often. maybe she doesn't get so much money from the state how victoria.
Madeleine= fat?
Sorry, I have to laugh out loud. She's definitely NOT what I'd call fat. But I guess that's what our Hollywood-interacted society expects... how sad.
She is not as slender as she used to be when she was younger. But actually: I don't mind it at all. She still looks radiant.
I never saw the tiara of Victoria before, any history about this one?
I don't know the exact history of the cut steel tiara Victoria wore at the state dinner, I do know cut steel tiaras came into vogue during one of the World Wars (I always mix it up so I'm not even going to try to get it right here) for economic reasons. Precious metals and gems were hard to come by and so the cut steel tiara was born. The close ups of Victoria wearing the tiara show the craftsmanship and how intricate the designs could be. I think it's a rather nice tiara, though far from my favorite.

That's tight! This tiara is called the Napoleonic Cut Steel and Gold tiara isn't it? I had completely forgotten. Another of my infamous blond moments it seems. Thank you, Lucien, for reminding me.This tiara has seen way more then just two WW,it dates back to Napoleonic times really.
