gudinde Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Is it just that it sit's up very straight that gives you that impression, mls?

mls Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Is it just that it sit's up very straight that gives you that impression, mls? Don't know. No, I just don't think it looks pretty. I hope Mary recycles the Midnight Tiara tomorrow. It's such a beautiful tiara. Very Mary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayvee Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Photos of guests from bt.dk: http://www.bt.dk/underholdning/nu-fejrer-de-dronningen-se-billederne-fra-den-roede-loeber#slide-1 mls, the design of Queen Letizia's tiara is actually not that great. I think this was an anniversary present from Felipe. She has worn the centrepiece as a brooch for quite some time so I think it may have been a 5th anniversary present. I'm just glad to see the tiara since she has never worn it before. The fleur-de-lys tiara worn by Queen Sofia has a much better design.

gudinde Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Lovely speech from Crown Prince Frederik in 3 languages. I hope they publish it . Mainly English and Danish, with a little French. Part of the Danish section of CPF's speech "One has every right to be celebrated when one turns 75, and you have taken it seriously. Many Danes took part in the celebration. You had expected and hoped for more time with the family, before fate intervened and you became queen. There are even grandparents who alone have lived with you as head of state. You have always managed to make it look easy. Dear mor, you have insight wits and sense. You should know that no matter what happens, you have at any time my heartfelt support, encouragement and utmost respect". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mls Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Lovely speech from Crown Prince Frederik in 3 languages. I hope they publish it . Mainly English and Danish, with a little French. I actually think Christian Eugen Olsen looked a bit moved. He thought Frederik speaking reminded him of his grandfather, King Frederik IV.

31ro Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I hope Mary recycles the Midnight Tiara tomorrow. It's such a beautiful tiara. Very Mary. I don't have to see the Midnight Tiara. The leafs are too vertical for my taste. It somehow reminds me of an indian headdress (if this makes sense). I think the tiara would look much better with more horizontal placed leafs and probably settled between the stones. But it's nice to see variety in her tiara choices. But I hope we will see Marie's Flora Danica Tiara for the second time. EDIT: I would remove/exchange the amethysts if this would be my tiara. Another thought about Marie's jewelry: Does she own other necklaces/pendants than the very beautiful sapphire and diamond brooch/pendant? Prince Joachim are you hearing me?
