I just came back from the wedding. I was standing right in front of the church. It was soooo great. A beautiful couple. But my highlight of the day was denfenetly Queen Silvia of Sweden!!!!!! She´s so beautiful and open hearted!
 
Maybe I should have been in Coburg as well, as I life only 50 kms from there...., but I thought it would be a family affair :nonono:, and I decided to stay at home.

yes, Queen Silvia was SO extremely kind and nice with me when I waved the Brazilian flag to her at the wedding of Philippe and Mathilde in Brussels in 1999!!!!
I exchanged a few letters with her in Portuguese and she was always very cordial and she helped a friend to have access to the Royal Archives of Stockholm
 
The wedding dress is classic and quite beautiful:flowers:
 
 
I really like her dress, but it doesn't seem that she wore a tiara.
 
A most wonderful event from the pictures. Hope there are more! THe day appeared beautiful, as did the participants.:flowers:

I'm not so sure about this and maybe you've talked about this before:
What is a hereditary prince or princess? Is it as in a non-reigning line?
Thanks in advance.
 
Hereditary Prince (or Erbprinz) was the title for the heir to the throne in German duchies and principalities. It has a meaning similar to 'Crown Prince'. Erbprinz Hubertus will one day follow his father as the Head of the Ducal House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

The term continues to be used today among the Austro-German Gotha, in the same manner as Princess Caroline is Hereditary Princess of Monaco, Prince Alois is Hereditary Prince of Liechtenstein and Prince Guillaume is Hereditary Grand Duke of Luxembourg.
 
Beautiful bride, beautiful groom and beautiful dress!
I wish them all the best!
 
It seems that the bride may have worn a tiara as a necklace. Did anyone notice that?
 
She wore a spectacular diamond necklace, but it was a necklace only, provenance of the Duchess of Albany (mother of Carl Edouard, Duke of Saxe-Coburg & Gotha).

Thanks and kudos to Claes and Kirsten at RJOTWMB for spotting the necklace with this link to Ursula's excellent website: Schmuck der Herzogin Helen von Albany | Prinzessin von Waldeck-Pyrmont

 As we can see from the link the necklace was a gifr ftom Prince Leopold (Queen Victoria's youngest son) to his bride, Princess Helen of Waldeck and Pyrmont.

The Saxe-Coburgs are a (very) wealthy family so the absence of a tiara in the context of a "crown princely wedding" is unusual.
