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.

Royal Fashion Awards: Diamond Jubilee Celebrations Part 1- Greet

Best of the Day

Queen Elizabeth II

I have to give this award to Elizabeth, with 60 years of good service to England, she has to be awarded this.

Best in Beatrix

Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands

To tell you the truth, I actually like this one. It has an oversized shirt (Not a big fan) and pointy shoes (Yuck!) but, Beatrix looks good in it.

Best in Traditional

Empress Michiko of Japan

I would be hard wearing traditional clothing all the time. And with Japan with their wooden shoes, I would not survive. I have to give Michiko credit!

Worst in Usual

Queen Paola of Belgium

Purple over here, a ruffle over there. It was the normal Paola at the greet. But, they way it looks isn’t terrible.

Best in Great!

ex-Queen Anne-Marie of Greece

For a queen being 65 years old, she looks fantastic! I love the dress style and the accessories she wore too.

Worst in Shinny

Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg

Maria Teresa looks ok. But it looked better the first time around.

Worst in Margrethe

Queen Margrethe of Denmark

Margrethe chose the usual outfit, a suit in a ugly colour. And with a odd material.

Best in Smiley

Queen Silvia of Sweden

Silvia looks very happy, and why shouldn't she? Her first granddaughter, Estelle is getting christened in 4 days.

Best in Fabulous!

Queen Rania of Jordan

Queen Rania looks good as she usually does. I want to have that shirt it looks great!

Best in her Usual self

Duchess of Cambridge

Catherine wowed, as usual. And in a very pretty colour!

Worst in White

Countess of Wessex

Sophie looks good, as she always does. But her jacket is un-flattering. And the waist of her dress looks very odd.

What a Wonderful Surprise!

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie

I was very happy when I saw the pictures of Beatrice and Eugenie here. They look great especially Beatrice!
