The fringe looks to be Alexandrine's Fringe Tiara which is owned by Count Ingolf and worn by his wife Sussie.

She did that in Denmark too, except, as far as I know, she kept it on all night. I'm all for more tiara events. If you got them, wear them.

The return dinner always depends on the visiting Monarch/Head of State. Given the Belgians, I would be surprised if it's a tiara event. But since they're in Denmark, they might do it.

I think Maxima will wear the Diamond Bandeau and Beatrix will wear Emma's Tiara. For Denmark, I think Margrethe will wear Emeralds, Mary will wear her wedding tiara (though I'd love to see her pull out the ruby as CP just once for a state visit), and Marie will wear her Flora Danica Tiara...

I think the way CP has talked about Emma since his engagement is more evidence for why CP would probably not name his daughter Emma. I hadn't heard that Sofia demanded Emma not be invited to Madeleine's wedding, only that allegedly CP was furious when Madeleine had asked Emma to be a bridesmaid...

(..) I do love this gown on Sofia. The color is gorgeous. The cut is perfect. I'd love to see her in it with her hair worn up.

Mary wore a recycled Temperley London gown for the State Council dinner on March 22, 2017. She first wore it to the Arts and Culture Evening on March 15, 2016.

I never would have guessed. Congratulations to them!

that's silly. It was a visit to a memorial, not a memorial service. Not to mention, she was wearing a black dress underneath. She used her speech today to mention the event, which was appropriate. Until the government calls for a time of mourning, there is no reason for Kate, at a event that is...

Looks like Mary is wearing her dress from the Arts and Culture evening. At least we got one photo.

I don't understand her taste in fashion at all. :bang:

Sonja is wearing the Diamond & Pearl tiara, MM is in her Wedding Tiara, and Astrid is wearing the Aigrette Tiara.

probably a Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleberg. Sort of looks like August-Frederik, the younger son of Ludwig, to me. I read that he was buried in the family cemetery in town, but I don't know how correct that is.

It's hard to see Marie's brooch, but I think it's the daisy brooch that Margrethe gifted her. I'm still searching about Mary's. It may be that they chose daisy like brooch's for the link to Margrethe, but I don't know for sure.

it is interesting that there is, thus far, no sign of Pavlos or Marie. I hope none of the kids are sick or anything. Edit: and there he is. So, no conspiracy needed, lol.

I think so, as long as the orders aren't recalled (that happens rarely). But they won't really have the opportunities to do so these days.

There is a difference between members of the Royal Family and the Family of the King. The Royal Decree of 1981 says the Royal Family consists of the Monarch, the spouse of the monarch, the monarch's parents, and the heir to the throne (and I think his other children, but admittedly my Spanish is...

Pierre is six spots after Jacques (including the children). Caroline would be first to step in, but if she has passed already, Andrea would be the next. Certainly Pierre & Beatrice could help, but officially, he is not Plan B, no matter how glamorous they are. and I have to agree with some that...

good point. I see now on the Mary Message Board that she was in fact scheduled to attend and likely did so. So it definitely won't be her first as CP. I also saw that in 2009 the secretary to the Queen said that the dinner is supposed to take place every few years and they were just trying to...

Semantics, you could say. This is the first time that Crown Princess Mary has attended. In 2003, she was one half of an engaged couple, still a civilian, and it was a very special occasion for her. We can only guess, right now, why she attends this week, but we'll find out soon.

a reconciliation does not mean she will attend events again. Cristina rarely attended things outside of Spain to begin with. And as long as there are tensions between the monarchy and its people, I don't think the case will fade from people's minds, especially if there's any sense of a push to...

From the opinions of the Spanish people on this forum, it seems like very few Spaniards want Cristina back and I don't blame them. she may have been acquitted (let us not pretend as if Rich people don't get away with their crimes all of the time), but that doesn't mean she's blameless. Not to...

Oh please. Cristina & Inaki committed a crime and have not taken responsibility for it. They don't deserve anyone's support. Did they commit the worst crime ever? No, but I have no respect for people who want to pretend they've done nothing wrong when caught. If you show no remorse, then I...

They are all distantly related through Christian IX of Denmark, but not nearly close enough to ignore the high profile case. Norway and the Netherlands may not be Spain, but it's still, imo, a bad idea to invite Cristina and especially Inaki given the situation.

omg, why would they even think to invite her and especially him? If that's true, that's a huge miscalculation, imo. I'm glad she's not going.
