Tiaras and Jewels guessing for upcoming events: 2023

[doro]

I wish that Camilla or Kate wore the Queen Mary's Fringe Tiara

 

[Milla Rose]

Whilst not standard practice, these statements are not true. The GGBI was worn by Princess Elizabeth for a number of years before becoming Queen. It was her favorite tiara, but not an heirloom of the crown reserved for Queens. I for one would love, and hope, it shows up on the PoW.

Me too! I love Queen Camilla but I don't think she'd want to wear the GGBI. Camilla always tends to gravitate towards larger tiaras (delhi durbar; honeycomb) and I think the GGBI is too delicate for her hairstyle.

Hence why I think it is definitely plausible for Camilla to loan it to Catherine, who I think would wear it very well.

Time to guess which Tiaras we could see at Infanta Maria Francisca's wedding next week! We already know what the bride will wear.

I expected Doña Sofía to attend, hopefully with La Chata on because I can't stand the Niarchos ruby parure.

Sophie-Alexandra might wear the Sapphire Floral Tiara.

The Duchess of Edinburgh in her Aquamarine tiara, of course.

It has already been mentioned in some articles that she will likely wear the big diamond tiara from Queen Amélie which as worn by her mother at her Wedding. But i think that will be the only tiara as i at her parents Wedding there was no Gala where tiaras had been worn.

When I-A received her birthday tiara, it was rumoured that it wasn't the only tiara she received. Perhaps we will see another one at Christians birthday.

 

[Adda]

She can also wear her mother's gorgeous Daisy Bandeau. Since MM is unlikely to travel anywhere soon.

If I remember correctly, these rumors concerned Queen Sofia of Sweden's pink topaz parure. But it has recently been confirmed that this parure was part of the jewels stolen from Garrard's. So it's unlikely that I-A has a second tiara. But I'd love to see her sharing the diamond bandeau with her mother.

There is also Queen Maud's diamond tiara which is back known in the royal Vaults but still hasn't been worn

It was her favorite tiara, but not an heirloom of the crown reserved for Queens. I for one would love, and hope, it shows up on the PoW. It even has a history of skipping generations going from Queen Mary to the then Princess Elizabeth.

The State Diadem has been worn for state visits before. The Queen Mother wore it in France for a state visit once. *Correction* - the Queen Mum wore her own crown sans arches in France.The late Queen, however, used it exclusively for her coronation entrance and state openings of parliament. How Camilla will continue to use it remains to be seen.

Edit to add: now that Prince Christians birthday is confirmed white tie, I hope to see many lovely tiaras.

Since I never made the statement that the Girls is reserved for queens, it can't be false.

I said since it was owned by the queen, it has only ever been worn by the queen. She never loaned it out. It has been exclusively worn by the queen since Elizabeth took the throne. So yes it would be odd to see it on anyone but Camilla just yet.


And yes the state diadem is worn for official ceremonies and portraits. As you said yourself an altered version was worn once decades before. With the trove of tiaras in the vaults, the queen pulling out the state diadem for a state banquet doesn't seem reasonable.

Yes, inclusive, there were rumours that Harald V gave to IA the Queen Maud's Diamond Tiara, others has said that the family of Princess Ragnhild gave back this tiara to the Royal Family, precisely to Mette Marit wear.

I like the Duchess of Brabant's 18th birthday gift tiara, but, for the sake of diversity, I hope she doesn't wear it at Prince Christian's gala (if she attends). She could borrow her mother's Laurel Wreath tiara or, if she really wanted to surprise us, borrow her grandmother's Art Deco tiara.

Considering, however, that Elisabeth wore her birthday gift tiara both in Norway and in Jordan, I am assuming she will probably wear it in Denmark too (again if she goes to the gala).

Amalia, on the other hand, will probably debut different tiaras at each new event she attends, which she can do since she has a great variety of diadems at her disposal.

I don't think either that Leonor will be in Copenhagen, but I have a strong feeling that Leonor's first diadem will be the Prussian tiara, which fits the profile of a starter tiara for a young (or younger) princess and, in my opinion, would look particularly good on Leonor. Eventually, as Princess of Asturias, she might also wear Queen Maria Cristina's floral tiara and maybe even the Mellerio Shell tiara, as her mother did. I don't think Leonor will get a new gift tiara until she gets married, unless Infanta Pilar's sapphire tiara is returned to the main line.

It's worth that the Art Deco bandeau belonged to her great-great-grandmother and namesake Queen Elisabeth, it would be an type to tribute

If Amalia attends, there are a infinity of possibilities, ex: Antique Pearl, Queen Emma's Diamond Tiara, the Emerald Tiara, the Sapphire Necklace Tiara, the Laurel Wreath or, I can be ousated, the Mellerio Ruby Tiara

 

[Marengo]

As Pss Alexia has a gap year she may possibly attend as wel, it would be her first tiara appearance. I imagine she would have to go for one of the smaller pieces. Perhaps Q. Anna's pearl tiara without the pearls, which is the first one that her mother has worn in 2001.

Just for the sake of argument, let's assume the totally unlikely scenario that Lady Louise is invited to Christian's gala. Would King Charles loan her a tiara? Does Sophie personally own her wedding tiara? It is a pretty ugly tiara in my humble opinion, but it could be an option for Louise if she cannot borrow anything from the royal vaults.

I think it’s actually great now that it has been remodeled and I really disliked it before that.

At Frederik & Mary's pre-wedding concert, Sophie wore a floral diamond tiara. What happened to the piece?

 

[Adda]

That floral button tiara pictured below is thought to have been a loan. https://c8.alamy.com/comp/D3J805/dp...f-crown-prince-frederik-of-denmark-D3J805.jpg
The British vaults are huge, Louise could/should be loaned whatever she needs.

If that were to be the case, I am sure Queen Camilla would have a rummage and find something suitable for Louise. It could be the Strathmore Rose, the Lozenge tiara, or something previously unseen.

I think the remodel has improved the overall look of Sophie's wedding tiara, but, IMO, it is not what one would consider a conventional beauty!

Unlikely as the belgian royal Ladies usually don't share their tiaras. Would have preferred it if they would have added Elisabeth's tiara to a collection which could have been worn by her and her mother and she would have got access to her mother's tiara's.

 

[Stefan]

I think it looks better now, but would like first to see a better pic of the remodeled tiara then the one we have so far which is a bit blurry.

Perhaps Sophie will wear the remodelled tiara for the S Korean banquet next month.

 

[IloveCP]

There will be a SV from Portugal to Belgium this month.

 

[An Ard Ri]

It will be the queen and maybe Princess-Archduchess Astrid in attendance, I doubt we will see Princess Claire.

 

[Milla Rose]

Probably not, but if so, I would guess/hope maybe the Strathmore Rose. It hasn't been worn in a long time.

That sounds right.

For the Banquet at Guildhall in honour of President Yoon of South Korea, the Duchess of Gloucester should wear the Honeysuckle Tiara

No offense to the Gloucesters but if the Wales' won't be doing the Guildhall going forward then I hope it will be the Edinburghs.

I actually think it should be the Prince & Princess of Wales that do the Guildhall banquet. But I agree, if not, the Edinburgh's should take this over.

Now the Spanish state visit to Denmark is scheduled to November 6, here my guesses:

Daisy: Pearl Poiré or Emerald Parure
Letizia: Fleur de Lys Tiara, Cartier Pearl and Diamond Loop or Cartier Pearl and Diamond
Mary: Ruby Parure or Ruby and Spinel Necklace Tiara
Marie: Dagmar Floral or Nuits Claires
Benedikte: Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg Fringe Tiara
