Hi I'm a great fan of your blog. Can you say something about the headpieces of the princess of Wales and princess Charlotte at the coronation of Charles III?
I really loved them! Of course I would have preferred for everyone to be wearing tiaras but I had some time to get over that before the coronation so I wasn't still sad. The headpieces were made by Jess Collett and Alexander McQueen. Collett was supported by the Prince's Trust when she started her business which was a nice touch.
Tumblr media
I thought the headpieces were a great compromise between a hat and a tiara and I love that Princess Charlotte had a mini version of her mother's. Both of their looks really walked that line of formality perfectly and were overall very flattering and timeless.
Tumblr media
The semi-formality and matching outfits reminded me of what Queen Sonja and Princess Martha Louise wore to King Harald V's consecration in 1991. Norway doesn't do coronations anymore but they have a special service at Nidaros Cathedral. Queen Sonja wore a white dress with a cape and a fabric kokoshnik with pearl trim. Then her daughter, Princess Martha Louise, wore a dress made out of the same fabric and a headband.
Tumblr media
Also, I am a sucker for symbolic embroidery and I'm looking forward to them doing an exhibition of the coronation clothes so that we can get a better look at the details.

“One of the reasons I like royal watching (mostly the Scandinavian fams) is because they appear to be happy, united families -- not to mention progressive as well. I want a fun grandma like Daisy. I want a selfless aunt like Victoria, a racecar-driving uncle like Carl Phillip, and kooky aunt like Martha Louise. I want heritage, traditions, and the ability to know my ancestors through the diaries and letters they left behind. Are they perfect in reality? Hell no but they appear to have everything I could possibly want and I envy that.” - Submitted by Anonymous

Princess Ingrid Alexandra's Inheritance
Tumblr media
In anticipation of Trond Norén Isaksen's new book, Ingrid Alexandras Arv, I thought it would be fun to make a list of all of the Norwegian royal tiaras that will one day belong to Princess Ingrid Alexandra.
The number of working members of the Norwegian Royal Family is pretty small and is in the process of becoming even smaller. Princess Märtha Louise no longer carries out royal duties, Princess Astrid in 91 years old, and it’s unclear how much of an official role, if any, Prince Sverre Magnus will have. This means that most of the jewelry that is currently spread between several people will someday come to Princess Ingrid Alexandra.
The collection starts with Queen Maud, the first queen of a modern, independent Norway and also a British princess. She only had one child so all of her jewelry (after a little detour in the UK) went to her daughter-in-law, Crown Princess Märtha, who was a Swedish princess herself and brought a good amount of jewelry with her. Crown Princess Märtha passed away in 1954 and her three children decided to wait until the then Prince Harald was married in 1968 to divide it all up. When they split the jewelry up it was with the understanding that some of it would stay with Princess Ragnhild and Princess Astrid's descendants and some of it would go back to the mainline when they passed sort of like a lifetime loan.
I really hope that Princess Ingrid Alexandra decides to put the jewelry into a trust or foundation similar to the Swedish and Dutch royal families. Their system worked out well for the three siblings but you can't assume that it will always go this smoothly. Creating a foundation would not only keep the jewelry together for future generations but hopefully facilitate more jewelry sharing.
Tumblr media
Princess Ingrid Alexandra
Princess Ingeborg's Pearl Circle Tiara - This tiara was meant to be one of the pieces that stay with Princess Ragnhild's descendants but she asked her children to give it to Princess Ingrid Alexandra for her 18th birthday which was very generous.
The Inheritance
Duchess of Leuchtenberg's Emerald Tiara - now with Queen Sonja
Queen Josephine's Diamond Tiara - now with Queen Sonja
Queen Alexandra's Maltese Cross Tiara - now with Queen Sonja
Queen Alexandra's Turquoise Tiara - now with Princess Astrid
Queen Maud's Diamond Tiara - was with Princess Ragnhild
Queen Maud's Pearl Tiara (replica) - now with Queen Sonja
Queen Maud's Vifte Tiara - now with Crown Princess Mette Marit
Crown Princess Märtha's Vasa Tiara - now with Princess Astrid
Crown Princess Märtha's Emerald & Pearl Bracelet Tiara (replica) - now with Queen Sonja
Queen Sonja's Modern Gold Tiara - now with Queen Sonja
Queen Sonja's Amethyst Necklace Tiara - now with Crown Princess Mette Marit
Crown Princess Mette Marit's Diamond Daisy Tiara - now with Crown Princess Mette Marit
Tumblr media
There are also some tiaras that will not be inherited by Princess Ingrid Alexandra. Three of Princess Astrid's tiaras will stay with her children and Princess Märtha Louise's tiara will stay with hers. I have long wondered if Queen Sonja will leave her Modern Gold Tiara to Princess Märtha Louise because the style suits her and I expect her to leave some jewelry to her daughter. Now I'm less sure because Princess Märtha Louise and her daughters will have little need for a second tiara.
There's also the possibility that one of these tiaras will be left to Prince Sverre Magnus but I think it's more likely that they will buy his future wife a tiara that is convertible to other jewelry so that it is more useful for someone who will rarely wear one. She could also borrow tiaras from her sister-in-law whenever needed.
Princess Astrid
Queen Sophia's Diamond Bracelet Tiara - This is the only one I wish would be left to the mainline.
Duchess Pauline of Nassau's Gold Bandeau Tiara
Queen Maud's Aigrette Tiara
Princess Märtha Louise
Princess Märtha Louise's King Olav Gift Tiara
Lost
Queen Maud's Pearl Necklace Tiara
Queen Sophia's Pink Topaz Tiara - stolen in 1995
All of this means that when she is queen, Princess Ingrid Alexandra will have thirteen tiaras to choose from. I didn't expect the number to be that high but the Norwegian royals don't do much jewelry sharing which always makes a collection appear smaller than it is. I hope that in the future they become more flexible about sharing jewels and I also want them to be more open to sharing them with the public. The Norwegian royal family does not generally participate in books, documentaries, or exhibitions about their jewelry but they did share a photo and information about Princess Ingeborg's Pearl Circle Tiara when it was given to Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Princess Astrid has spoken to Isaksen about her jewelry when he wrote her biography so I am hopeful that that is changing.

I think Victoria does a fantastic job (as Crown Princess). She is an absolutely wonderful person too.
