Queen Beatrix Hosts Her Last Dinner

Today is the last full day that Queen Beatrix will be queen of the Netherlands. She had 23 good years as Queen. Today, she hosted her last dinner as Queen.

Dutch Ladies

Queen Beatrix wore a purple dress with a purple jacket to match. She wore the Wurttemberg Ornate Pearl Tiara, with a pearl corsage with it. Princess Maxima wore a repeat red Valentino dress, along with the Rose Cut Diamond Bandeau Tiara and a diamond necklace with a giant pendant.

She wore a rose printed dress and a brown/gray shawl over top of it. Princess Christina made an appearance! She wore a light brown dress with the Laurel Wreath Tiara.

Princess Christina wore the Antique Pearl Tiara, with a black lace jacket and black and white checkered skirt.

Crown Princesses

Crown Princess Mary of Denmark wore a new dress! And I'm loving it! She wore her wedding tiara and earrings. Princess Mathilde, Duchess of Brabant (Belgium) wore a one sleeved white dress, she wore her Laurel Wreath Tiara, she even got blond streaks... Very spiffy. Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, believe of not is wearing a tiara. The tiny Diamond Daisy Tiara that she positioned in the middle of her head. I do love her dress though, Valentino I'm guessing.

 Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden wore a repeat purple dress. She wore the Napoleonic Amethyst Tiara. Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie of Luxembourg wore a blue Elie Saab dress with Grand Duchess Marie-Adélaïde's Sapphire Tiara. Crown Princess Sophie of Liechtenstein wore a shiny brown skirt, with a white lace top. She wore the Habsburg Fringe Tiara.

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall (Great Britain) wore the Boucheron Honeycomb Tiara. She wore a white top and black skirt combination... Not a fan. Letizia wore a black dress with black lace sleeves and neckline. Letizia wore the Mellerio Floral Tiara.

 

Is it a bit scary that I got 6/7 Tiara guessed right for the Crown Princesses?

Dutch Inauguration: Tiara Talk

The Dutch Inauguration is less than a week away! This will be an emotional week, yet exciting moment for the Dutch Royal Family. Let's stop thinking about the negative and start thinking about the positive: There will be Tiaras! If anyone is in the Royal Fandom with me, you'd know that you're a sucker for tiaras! Here's some tiara choices I would love to see at the Royal Inauguration.

Let's start in Belgium, shall we?

Laurel Wreath Tiara, Queen Fabiola's Spanish Wedding Gift Tiara

Princess Mathilde, Duchess of Brabant and her husband, Prince Philippe, Duke of Brabant will be attending on behalf of the Belgian Royal Family. I'm sure that Mathilde will wear her Laurel Wreath Tiara. But I would love it if Mathilde brought out another tiara; specifically Queen Fabiola's Spanish Wedding Gift Tiara.

Queen Ingrid's Ruby Parure, Baden Palmette Tiara, Crown Princess Mary's Wedding Tiara

From Denmark, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary will represent the Danish Royal Family. Mary usually only wears two tiaras, her wedding tiara and Queen Ingrid's Ruby Parure. But, I hope that she pulls a different tiara out. My favourite Danish tiara: The Baden Palmette Tiara. But, if she goes for the tiaras she wears often, I'm fine with that.

Masako's Wedding Tiara

For Japan, Crown Prince Naruhito and Crown Princess Masako will represent the Japanese Imperial Family. I truly don't care if Masako doesn't wear a tiara or if she wear a tiara she has worn before. This will be her first major event for a long time! Masako hasn't been by her husband's side a whole lot. This article will explain why.

Grand Duchess Adelaide's Sapphire Tiara; Nassau Small Diamond Floral Tiara

Now, Luxembourg. The Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Luxembourg will represent the Luxembourgish Royal Family. My hope for the inauguration, Stephanie comes out with either Grand Duchess Adelaide's Sapphire Tiara because I wanted Stephanie to wear that at her wedding. Or, the Nassau Small Diamond Floral Tiara because she looks good in floral tiaras.

Amethyst Necklace Tiara

For Norway, the Crown Prince and Princess of Norway with represent the Norwegian Royal Family. There's only one tiara I want to see Mette-Marit in. The Amethyst Necklace Tiara. I love Amethysts and it always looks great on Mette-Marit.

Prussian Diamond Tiara (top left); Mellerio Floral Tiara (top right); Fleur De Lys Tiara (Bottom)

Letizia has been seen in 3 tiaras, out of those three, I only like two. The Prussian Diamond Tiara and the Mellerio Floral Tiara. Letizia also has another tiara the, Fleur De Lys Tiara. It hasn't been seen, but the Fleur De Lys has. Letizia is in face wearing the brooch in the first picture. Letizia hasn't worn it due to the economy in Spain.

Baden Fringe Tiara; Napoleonic Amethyst Tiara; Connaught Diamond Tiara

Victoria has been seen in a bunch, I'm not kidding... She's been seen in 9 tiaras. That's maybe about half of the Swedish Tiara Collection... They love their tiaras. Anyways, I want to see Victoria in the Baden Fringe Tiara (everyone's choice probably), Napoleonic Amethyst Tiara, or a tiara that Victoria hasn't worn. The Connaught Diamond Tiara.

I want Camilla to bring the big ol' Boucheron Honeycomb Tiara. That's all I want.

Crown Princely Couples in the Netherlands

Crown Princely Couples of the European Royal Families came to Apeldoom in the Netherlands to visit the future King and Queen of the Netherlands (Willem-Alexander and Maxima).

From left to right: Hereditary Grand Duke of Luxembourg, Hereditary Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, Prince Daniel of Sweden, Crown Princess of Sweden, Prince of Asturias, Princess of Asturias, Crown Princess of Denmark, future Queen of the Netherlands, future King of the Netherlands, Duchess of Brabant, Duke of Brabant, and Crown Prince of Norway

The only people who weren't in attendance were Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway. Everyone else was in attendance, I was even glad that Prince Guillaume and Princess Stephanie, the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Luxembourg was there!

Royals Love: Belts

I've noticed looking through royal maternity wear, that many royal women love belts. So, here are some Crown Princesses wearing belts (note, there's not a lot of pictures):

 Everyone knows that Catherine loves her belts! Last year, she wore 27 belts on 88 engagements (there could be more though). There's only 88 that I know of. Her belts are fashionable though, she must have a least 100 different belts... I want to see them all.

 Letizia doesn't usually wear belts as often as most princesses or royals. She wears them ocassionally, and when she does wear them. Man! They look good on her!

Mary is a royal who usually wears belts but sometimes doesn't. Her belts are nice, I like them, I swear I have that belt in the middle... Awesome! I don't really have a lot to say...

Maxima is known to wear tiny belts, normally around the size of an inch or two, or something like that.

Victoria hardly wears belts, that's why when I came across Victoria, I had to look on Google. Her belts are nice looking though. Then again, how can a belt not be ugly?

40th Birthday Photos of the Royal Women

Crown Princess Mary of Denmark - February 5, 2012

Mary celebrated her 40th birthday last year on February 5. She got pictures of herself, and just herself. Well, her dog did make an appearance. I must say that the pink blouse looks great on her, and her office looks awesome... love the chairs.

Princess Mathilde, Duchess of Brabant - January 20, 2013

 Mathilde celebrated her birthday not that long ago. She chose to pose with her husband, Philippe, by herself and with her children, Elisabeth, Gabriel, Emmanuel, and Elénore. I love the earrings, and the clothing isn't all that bad.

Letizia, Princess of Asturias - September 15, 2012

 Letizia celebrated her birthday last year in September - the 15th to be exact. She took pictures with her husband, Felipe. As well with her two daughters, Leonor, and Sofia.

Princess Maxima of the Netherlands - May 17, 2011

 Princess Maxima celebrated her 40th birthday in May of 2011. Maxima was praised for her tiara shot (above, left) and her dress. These pictures capture the pure essence of Maxima's beauty.
