Now THAT is what I call a tiara! It looks more suitable to a queen than a princess, however.
It could be a loan, but if it is indeed a newly acquired tiara, it is another evidence that the Art Deco bandeau might be indeed gone for the Belgian Royal Family main line.
Weird that she is wearing a bigger tiara than her mother's !

I think the mothers decided not to over power their daughters night. Let the daughters shine with their tiaras, hence the mothers wore smaller tiaras. Jmo

Geez, it kinda looks similar to Princess Margaret’s Poltimore tiara
Yes my thoughts too, I really hope its not a loan and its recently acquired for the duchess.
All mothers except for Maxima, who has literally outshone anyone in the room. I would have gone low key for an 18th birthday, given the many options she had.
Anyway Elisabeth’s new tiara looks so much like another famous one, gotta find it!!
So good to see new additions, but it may also means that two other tiaras are permanently gone.
I really hope its not a loan as that wouldn't look good for the Belgian RF.I first taught it was a loan from de Princes de Mérode , but its looks like but not the same.

It is not as if the Belgian queen as a lot of choice of other tiaras. The only one that is bigger than Elisabeths tiara is the full setting of the 9 provinces. The diamonds of the Wolfers will probably be vastly superior to those in Elisabeths tiara.
But... what a great surprise to see a completely new and substantial tiara. I expected something more modest so this is a great treat.

In fact I meant that Maxima looks too much, not Mathilde too little!
Anyway Elisabeth’s tiara base looks very closed, not open, so the placement is a bit meh, looks like it’s falling off. I wish it was wider.
Ok. I have been going nuts online trying to find out the origin of Lisa's gorgeous tiara and I have come up empty.
Gonna need some super sleuth here at TRH figure this one out ASAP before I become obsessed! Please!
Elisabeth's gift from the nobility was a necklace. I've read an usually credible account on social media say that it can't be the converted necklace we see today.Is it possible that it was the present given to Princess Elisabeth by the Belgian nobility association (Association de la Noblesse du Royaume de Belgique) for her coming of age in 2019? I don't think the details of the gift were released at the time, though it must have been a pricey one as 800 members reportedly made a financial contribution to the gift fund.
I see there is an ongoing discussion on this forum about Belgian royal tiaras leaving the main line. For how long have the family's current tiaras been held by the main line?
I’m under the impression it’s a loan. With Mathilde with a new never-seen-before necklace, and this substantial tiara, King Philippe must have paid a fortune. And given past loans, I can’t see the BRF cashing out so much for Elisabeth, who had all Mathilde’s smaller tiaras to choose from.
I really hope the tiara its here to stay! The BRF deserves serious pieces, and honestly I’m a bit disappointed she didn’t wear the Belgian Nobility necklace or a simple brooch from Paola.

I’m not here to bring a solution to the problem. I just said that IMHO it can be a loan, as Mathilde has sadly done several times.
