it still applies. Prince Maximilian of Liechtenstein married American Angela Brown and so she's now Princess Angela of Liechtenstein. American (though born in Panama), but now a European Princess of Color, so to speak. She is American, but if she marries Harry, she will be considered a European...

you should edit that to say British Princess of Color, because there are already European Princesses of Color.

what they did with her chest area is awful. I think the fabric looks cheap and the way they decided to pin it/sew it/however you want to say it, makes her look like she got a lot bigger, which we know isn't true. I think Fadi is hit or miss in terms of whether I like the designs or not, but I...

she didn't look like that at last year's Nobel. While she may have gotten bigger after having kids, the dress is the problem here. It's made in such a terrible way, it makes her top half looks ridiculous. The entire dress is a mess. A shame as her hair and jewels are gorgeous.

From the Laureate Dinners that I have identified, Silvia has worn the Cameo only once, in 2003.

so it looks like I got my wish with Madeleine! And I sort of got it right with the Cut Steels, great!

Love it! Vickan is the belle of the ball and is just stunning. I hope we see this dress again and again.

Horrible, horrible, horrible. Looks like she was trying to invoke Lilian, but it does not work for her AT ALL. So sad.

so incredibly not the thread for this.

Not a good dress. Beautiful color, but the top and bottom don't go together at all. Big miss.

Fantastic! Love the hair, I can deal with the tiara. Lovely earrings. Beautiful brooch. If I ignore the dress, she looks fabulous. So glad to not see the Emerald tiara again.

there's no confirmation on if it's a piece Silvia has worn or not (I think), so I couldn't say. Either way, she did at least have it sent back to Thailand to be changed. We used to see dismantling and redesigning a lot more often, so I don't know if I'd say it's outright rude, but a...

It wasn't much of a secret since there were rumors for months before the wedding. I distinctly remember that it was whispered that Carl Philip had gotten Sofia a new tiara. So, not much of a secret at all. :whistling: I wonder which necklace it was. Was it one we've seen? If so, I have an idea...

I got bored this week, so I put together posts about the tiaras the ladies have worn the Nobel Prize, put together by tiara, rather than year. It was interesting to see the numbers. Madeleine: Aquamarine Bandeau: 1 4-Button Tiara: 1 Queen Josephine's Amethyst Tiara: 1 Aquamarine Kokoshnik: 1...

the dress Kate wore in 2013 and 2015 was a light blue, not white.

so great to see this dress for a 3rd time! I love it. And the jewels! Wow.

Silvia has worn the Cameo Parure 4 times for the Nobel Prize. It is time to bring it or the Amethyst out again. anything but the Nine Prong and Sapphire (as much as I love the Sapphire).

for me, it's not necessarily a negative (unless the ladies pick a particularly ugly dress/outfit), it's just fun to notice. And this is a fashion thread, so of course people will point out similarities. There is, I believe, a thread to royal ladies and their similar clothes.

It looks like the short version of this Sofia dress.

another recycled gown by the Queen. Interesting that she chose to recycle both her gowns.

Marta and Marianne are sisters. I think you're thinking of a different Marianne Bernadotte, married to Sigvard Bernadotte, and was born in 1924. Marianne de Geer was born in 1893 and is the elder sister of Marta de Geer, born in 1896, who is Gunilla's mother.

this is great! Hopefully we'll get good photos of everyone. i just want big guns from everyone! Show off the jewels please!

Yes it is a loan because of Alexandra's divorce, but I can still see Daisy leaving it to Joachim when she passes. That way, Nikolai & Felix's wives can use Alexandra's tiara for their weddings, while Henrik's wife can use the Dagmar tiara for her wedding (And Athena will likely wear the Khedive...

Does she though? She's got the black dress from 2012 for the Team GB Reception (though I'm not entirely sure I'd classify it as a cocktail dress), the dress from the SportsBall in 2013, the black dress from New Zealand, the odd black dress from the Action on Addiction evening in 2014, the black...

Daisy let her MIL borrow the Princess Dagmar Floral Tiara in 1992 & Nathalie borrowed it in 2001 for Haakon's wedding. Alexandra borrowed the Baden Palmette for Daisy's 60th Birthday events in 2000. So three of the events were before Ingrid passed and one was after. Two, if you include Theodora...
