Queen Margrethe has an impressive jewellery collection
at a state banquet at the Royal Palace in Stockholm on Monday evening, where the dress code is likely to be white-tie.
Since her wedding in 2004, Mary has wowed us in four sparkling tiaras, but since her husband Frederik's accession in January, she now has access to more spectacular heirlooms from the royal jewellery vaults. The Danish queen delighted royal watchers last week as she made her debut in the Danish Emerald Parure in the couple's first gala portraits.The tiara, which is typically only reserved for the queen, was first commissioned in 1840 for King Christian VII for his wife, Caroline Matilda of England. Many of the emeralds featured in the headpiece are said to have been in the family since 1723.
The jewels were inherited by Princess Louise's daughter, Queen Louise of Sweden and Sweden, and then later, left to her daughter, Louise, who was Queen of Denmark from 1906 to 1912.This striking headpiece can be worn in several different configurations, with Queen Margrethe wearing it on top of her head and as a hair accessory. Margrethe's mother, Queen Ingrid, acquired the diamond tiara in the 1960s and wore it for Margrethe's wedding to Count Henri Laborde de Monpezat in 1967.
