Tiara Predictions: Denmark to Sweden

King Frederik and Queen Mary will visit Sweden on the 6th and 7th May 2024 for their first State Visit as King and Queen. The trip will focus on Swedish-Danish relations, technology, the armed forces, the arts and life sciences.

And now to the predictions…

The tiara I want Mary to wear: Pearl Poire - Queen Margrethe’s signature tiara, this would be a lovely tiara for Mary to wear to show a passing of the baton from the former queen to the current. It was last worn in January by Queen Margrethe.

My Prediction: Ruby Parure - This tiara is more likely as Mary has recently worn the Emerald Parure Tiara for her first official portrait as Queen, which cannot be taken outside of Denmark, and I don’t think she’d wear another new tiara so soon. It was last worn in January by Queen Mary, then Crown Princess, for the New Year’s Reception.

The tiara I want Silvia to wear: Braganza Tiara. As Silvia only wears this tiara to multi-royal events, it’s one of the only times that this tiara will get an outing so it’d be lovely if Silvia wore it tonight. It was last worn in September 2023 for the Golden Jubilee Celebrations for King Carl XVI Gustaf.

My Prediction: Leuchtenberg Sapphire Tiara. As the Danish don’t have any huge tiaras, I don’t believe that Silvia will go to the maximum, so the Leuchtenberg Sapphire Tiara is a safer bet. Silvia has worn 6 different tiaras to multi-royal events so this is a harder one to predict. It was last worn by Silvia in Dec 2023 for the King’s Dinner for Nobel Laureates.

The tiara I want Victoria to wear: Aquamarine Kokoshnik Tiara. This tiara is my absolute favourite Swedish Tiara so it will appear in every prediction! It has been 2.5 years since Victoria wore this tiara so it’s overdue a wear. It was last worn by Princess Christina in January for the State Visit from France.

My Prediction: Baden Fringe. Similar to Silvia, Victoria has worn 4 different tiaras to multi-royal events in the past 7 years, so it’s a hard one to predict. It was last worn by Victoria in September 2023 for her father’s Jubilee celebrations.

The tiara I want Sofia to wear: Cut Steel Bandeau - I really like this tiara and it doesn’t come out of the vault enough. It was last worn by Crown Princess Victoria in July 2017 for the wedding of Astrid Bernadotte.

My Prediction: Wedding tiara. The only tiara Sofia has worn in the last 7 years, this is probably the safest bet! It was worn last month by Sofia for the State Visit from Finland.

The tiara I want Princess Christina to wear: Connaught. Another Swedish stunner! This tiara holds particular significance for the Haga Princesses as it was their mother’s favourite tiara so it’s always lovely when she wears it. The tiara was last worn last month by Christina for the State Visit from Finland.

My Prediction: 4 Button Tiara. The better Swedish button tiara, I am not the biggest fan of either. However, aside from Victoria’s birthday tiara and the Cut Steel Bandeau, this tiara has been in the vault for the longest so it’s due an appearance. It was last worn by Princess Christina in December 2022 for the King’s Dinner for Nobel Laureates.

Asking Simblr: What's your tiara lore?

Thank you for this awesome question as I absolutely have tiara lore! I love doing this kind of world building even if it just sits in my documents to remind myself when plotting. The Lancasters have followed European Royal Families example (such as the Swedish Royal Family) and formed a family foundation to keep their most important items, such as Tiaras, safe through the generations. Tiaras and jewelry are managed by the Queen and she gets to decide who wears what tiaras. There are also tiaras that are owned personally but the Lancaster collection is prolific and vast, collected over many generations. Queen Alice was known as a jewelry lover and many pieces date to her time as Queen.

First up is the Lancaster Wedding Tiara. Three generations of Royal Brides have worn this tiara (with a notable exception of Queen Charlotte!). It started with then-Crown Princess Alice, who loved everything jewelry and tiaras. It was a gift from her father the King of Attrope.

Next is the State Diadem. Many generations of Queens have worn this tiara to the coronation of their husbands - it is generally not worn on other occasions. An exception would be a royal portrait or something like that.

The Queen has several tiaras that are traditionally reserved for the Queen of the day. On the left is the Sulani Scroll Tiara, a large piece often worn for state dinners and large ceremonial occasions. Inset is two famous large diamonds given to the Crown by the people of Sulani over 150 years ago. On the right is the Lancaster Emerald Parure, a famous set gifted to Queen Anne by her husband King Frederick I. It is thought to be the oldest piece in the collection, featuring stunning large emeralds.

Princess Margaret has worn a few tiaras since she turned 18 (the age at which young ladies are able to wear tiaras). On the left is the Lovers Knot Tiara, worn to a State Dinner. A hefty piece with many diamonds and large pearls. In the middle is a delicate Leaf Tiara that is owned by Princess Margaret personally - it was a gift from her parents on her 18th birthday. On the right she is wearing the Art Deco Diamond Bandeau to the Opera, which Queen Charlotte had created from diamonds in the family collection. It is a more simple piece which fit styles of the time, with no fancy metal work - its just huge diamonds.

Queen Charlotte has worn many tiaras over her time as Crown Princess, Queen and now Queen Mother. On the left is her wearing the Art Deco Diamond Bandeau for its very first outing. In the middle is one of the tiaras reserved for Queens (and former queens) to wear - the Honeycomb Tiara, worn at Charles and Victoria's wedding. A large piece that needs a good supporting hairstyle! On the right is a piece named Queen Charlotte's Bandeau Tiara. Another art deco style piece that was a gift from her husband King Edward II.

Last and certainly not least - Crown Princess Victoria. As the one with the shortest time within the Royal family, she has had less tiara appearances. On the left was her first tiara appearance after her wedding wearing the Lancaster Floral Tiara. In the middle, for her first official portrait, she is wearing the Antique Halo Tiara, one from the Lancaster vaults, dating back to Queen Alice. Purchased from one of the top jewel houses of the day, but not seen in decades so it was a nice surprise when the portrait was unveiled. The one on the right, I was just making a character picture for her and put her in the Queen Charlotte Bandeau because its one I really like. Its one she will definitely wear in the future.

There are some other tiaras that I have flagged as being part of their collection but I haven't pulled them out yet 😊😊

BIO.

it was supposed to be a blessing when the second child, dahlia maj, was born but right away it was disappointment. the greengrass curse had stricken the baby. a blood malediction with no cure. she was bound to die at a young age. hubert and valda looked into the child’s eyes that already looked sickly. when hubert was not in the room valda cried. her husband had already written the little girl off even though it was his family that brought the curse upon them. valda held her tight but let go when he was in the room. that’s how dahlia’s life would be. loving in secret, resentment, tears, thick skin and sickness.

the greengrass household was a torn one. tea, her older sister, could do no wrong. she was perfection in human form. her father doted on her and showered her with gifts. dahlia received the things tea didn’t want or grew out of. the only time dahlia received anything new was when valda sneaked them in for her. her mother tried to show the child love but behind hubert’s back. if she had been found out he would shout and degrade her for spending money or time on someone who was bound to die any day now.

any day now hadn’t come before her hogwart’s letter did. and so she went and was sorted into slytherin, the only thing her father could be proud of. while there she had to find out who she was as she never had the chance before. all she knew was an icy exterior, to rely on no one to constantly be there and to always be second best. but soon she wised up. she wasn’t second best. she was smart as a whip and twice as sharp. all she needed was her right environment and the slytherin common room and its inhabitants gave it all to her.

while she loved many of the classes hogwarts had to offer, potions is where her heart landed. there was something about the creating of potions that appealed most to her; playing with different herbs, piecing them together to see what they would do. though she would never admit it, dahlia secretly hoped that one day — before she died — that she could find a cure. and that one day she could laugh in her father’s face. the only problem is that she had become so comfortable with the fact she was going to die that she hadn’t given much thought about what a real life would be like. but what if she could find out? so she dedicated herself to potions and soon became the owner of slug and jitters apothecary.

as any good greengrass would, dahlia watched the war approaching and has decided to align with the death eaters. not necessarily because of her parents — well, partly, looking for approval — but because the other options weren’t appealing. she didn’t have anything to live for so she may as well find something to die for.

"The Suitor Surprises with a Flower Bath".

'Happy birthday to Ferdinand Julius Fagerlin (5 February 1825 - 19 March 1907) was a Swedish-German genre painter.

Born in Stockholm, Fagerlin first apprenticed as a shipbuilder (1842–1843) before attending the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts (1845–1847). He joined the army (1850–1854) and practiced painting, particularly portraits. From 1854 on he dedicated himself completely to painting and with the support of his former teachers studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, with Karl Ferdinand Sohn und Friedrich Wilhelm Schadow (1854–1855). He spent time in Paris (1856-1858), where he worked in the shop of Thomas Couture.

On his return to Düsseldorf in 1958, he settled as a painter and married Alice (1844–1931), daughter of painter Henry Ritter (1816-1853) whose shop he inherited after the latter's death in 1853.[3] From 1862 to 1902 he was a member of the Düsseldorf art society, Malkasten. The Swedish painter Axel Kulle was his student from 1875 to 1880.

After 1863, he traveled frequently to the Netherlands, and the imagery he acquired there, particularly of the Dutch coast and the life of its sailors and inhabitants became formative in his genre painting. In 1867 he showed Der Heiratsantrag and Die Eifersucht at the International Exposition in Paris. He died in Düsseldorf six weeks after his 82nd birthday'.
