What tiara's & other jewels do you think will be worn by the current younger generation in the various European houses?​

In the case of Leonor and Sofia, they will have several at their disposal:
The Prussian Tiara, which Letizia wore on her wedding day and during her first years as a princess. Leonor will certainly wear this tiara.

The Floral Tiara should also be one of the options for the Princess of Asturias and Infanta Sofia.

The so-called Princess Tiara, from Casa Ansorena, which Letizia has only worn on one occasion, will certainly be another option.

The Carrera y Carrera tiara (if it exists) I hope will also be used by Leonor and Sofia.

I think Leonor will end up choosing tiaras between the Prussian, the new Ansorena pearl & diamond tiara and the Mellerio Shell tiara.

I think the Floral will remain largely with Queen Letizia, who seems to use it as her smaller tiara.

The Floral Tiara still belongs to Queen Sofia but it seems to be Letizia's firm favourite and really suits her too.

Obviously the floral tiara will go to the main line. Letizia has worn this tiara several times since she has been queen and it will certainly be one that will be worn by Leonor and Sofia.

Personally I think Leonor will primarily use the Ansorena Fleur de Lys and will then alternate between the Prussian or Mellerio Shell tiara,
Sofia will I think have use of the Prussian or Mellerio Shell tiara,unless she gets a tiara of her own (unlikely).

 

[Tilia C.]

I think that the two sisters will start out with the Prussian tiara and share tiaras with their mother like Elena and Cristina did. If their first tiara event will be attended by both of them, Leonor would probably get the floral tiara.

The Princess tiara seems a little too big for a first tiara, imo. I can see Leonor wearing it when she is in her twenties. I'd like to see this tiara being reserved for the Princess of Asturias, but time will tell.

I hope that certain Spanish tiaras are reserved for use by the queen only like the Joyas de pasar.

 

[Tilia C.]

I think that the three big guns, Queen Ena's fleur-de-lys, the loop tiara and the Cartier pearl tiara will be reserved for the use of the Queen. Infanta Cristina has worn the Cartier pearl tiara once, but that might not be repeated with Leonor and Sofia.

I think that js already the Case for the two Pearl tiaras. Perhaps at some point they will also be worn by Leonor as shes the Heiress in her own right

Didn't the Infanta Cristina wear one of the Pearl Tiaras in the past as did the late Infanta Pilar and her daughter?

 

[Stefan]

The loop pearl tiara was worn by the Infanta Pilar for her Wedding and at the SV from Queen Elizabeth II. And by her daughter at her Wedding. But that was when it was still owned by the Countess of Barcelona.
And the other pearl tiara was worn once by Infanta Cristina at the swedish royal Wedding in 2010. But that was the only time since it was bought back by King Juan Carlos

It's said that it was a last minute swap because of Queen Sofia having a headache and wanting to wear a smaller tiara.

Oh yes I recall reading that and had forgotten as it was a long time ago!

Princess Estelle is going to turn 13 next February and she has already attended galas at much younger age, I think she would wear a tiara even before she turn 18, in two years her grandfather will turn 80 and she would be 15 as his birthday is in April, also her mother is going to be 50 in 3 years so she will be 16 by then, am sure there will be huge celebrations for those two milestones and she might wear one of the smaller tiaras Or one of those events!

Really doubt Estelle will wear a tiara before 18, but I can see her wearing brooch (like the rose one or the arrow) or the diamond riviere necklace on her hair.

Princess Isabella turns 18 in April 2025. I assume that she will have a party of some sort and possibly official photos. Do we think that she will receive one of her mom's smaller tiaras, a new tiara? The thought that the Alexandrine drop tiara was given away makes me nash my teeth! Was that not the tiara that QMII rec'd for her own 18th birthday? How wonderful would it have been if that was the tiara Isabella could have rec'd for her 18th birthday.

I hope we get to see Isabella in a tiara int he not too distant future. However, I do hope Mary maintains a pool of tiaras and other jewellery that can be lent to the 4 children and their partners when needed. This would be far more efficient that giving each lady of the next generation her own tiara.

But Daisy has given the Alexandrine Drop Tiara to Countess Alexandra, but I hope Daisy give her the Daisy Turquoise Bandeau or Mary give her wedding tiara to Isabella

I doubt that Princess Estelle will wear a tiara before her 18th birthday. That said I'm praying for that when she does start wearing tiaras her mum's dreadful starter tiara won't be one of them.

I believe that Victoria will give her birthday tiara to Estelle when she turn 18

 

[tommy100]

Yes it seems, especially in the Swedish RF, like the Norwegian RF, there is a strong tradition of Princesses being given a tiara for an 18th birthday. Therefore I think its unlikely Estelle will wear even a borrowed tiara before her 18th birthday.

I don’t think it has ever happened here in Sweden that a royal lady has worn a tiara before her 18:th birthday, and i certainly do not expect Estelle to become the first one…

She may attend her grandfathers 80:th birthday celebrations, wich i’m sure will be a very grand affair, but as she will be 14 years old, she will at most wear a pair of earrings and maybe some hair ornament suitable for a young girl…. Tiaras and orders comes from your 18:th birthday and onwards

 

[An Ard Ri]

Princess Estelle will have plenty of future tiara events when she is an adult.
Let her enjoy her childhood for now.

A 14 years old I don’t think she would wear a tiara but I can see a 15 years old young lady wearing a brooch in her hair of even the diamond bandeau, also as a 16 years old it wouldn’t look weird if she wore a tiara!

Seeing Mary's recent activity in the jewelry department, I have a feeling that something is also beeing created for Isabela's 18 birthday

 

[W.Y.CII]

I have the same thought (tiara for Isabella) but then I have another question: as the necklace itself is a crown jewel, is it reserved for queen only, even when it is in tiara form?

Yes all the Crown Jewels are only for the use of the Queen of the Day. And they can't taken abroad

I would assume is just for the use of the Queen, regardless of the form that they are used under

 

[tihkon2]

I think Mary's children will get what she has been given outright or she and Fred have purchased over the years. So, Isabella and Josephine maybe will get the wedding gift tiara and the spinel one? Don't know what will be available to Vincent's theoretical spouse. And who knows, maybe the ruby set for Christian's bride if he has one.
