The tablescape is lovely tonight - fresh and bright.

 

I'm trying to translate the menu. Please correct me if I have missed the mark.

Hook-cured loin of veal
Black salsify, squash purée, roasted maize and veal jus with apple

I don't know anything about Madame Macron, but does she look a bit tense or nervous in the photos?

They might be standing to attention for the national anthem. or something similar. mls.

Everyone else is looking similarly solemn in that moment.

I think that might be La Marseillaise. I was thinking of her in photos of them greeting guests and in the live feed but

perhaps that's the way she is.

So it is. I had not noticed until you pointed it out.

It appears to have a sapphire in the centre.

 

Here's another photo of Marie's new tiara.

It looks modern. Are the earrings new too? 

So Marie with a sapphire tiara, Queen Margrethe in her pearl poire diadem and Mary in her rubies - another blue-white-red reference.

It looks like Frederik and Mary have received the National Order of Merit for this visit.  http://www.medals.org.uk/france/france016.htm

 

It must be new since it is not listed under their foreign decorations at Kongehuset.dk

 

The Queen wears the star of the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor.  Prince Henrik used to wear  the same star, only his was set with diamonds in the rays.

The tiny diamond leaf design of the tiara really reminds me of Ole Lynggaard’s Winter Frost Collection.

You can see the tiny diamond leaves better on this link: http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/1535483692.html

 

Ole Lynggaard earrings that could match this tiara:
