    Order of the Garter, Ceremonies and Information 2: 2022 -

    The appointment of royals (stranger knights and ladies) have for a very long time always been announced in connection with a state visit in either direction…. But as the Order of the Garter, Order of the Thistle, Order of Merit, Royal Victorian Chain, and the Royal Victorian Order is the...

    The Danish Orders and Monograms

    He will definitely be a recipient of the Grand Cross Commander insignia of the Order of Dannebrog… Though i wonder if he will get the insignia that belonged to the late King Constantine ? Or maybe Margrethe’s insignia after she passes… I don’t think Crown Prince Pavlos will recive his late...

    Tiaras and Jewels guessing for upcoming events: 2024

    It likely depends on if she will make her coronation dress her standard go to dress for the State Openings too…. If she does, then we likely won’t see much change as there is not many other necklace’s than the diamond collet’s that works with it….. QEII’s South African Necklace maybe

    Tiaras and Jewels guessing for upcoming events: 2024

    Probably another delay… A shame really but given how political state visits are nowdays, and the obvious chance of a new political majority in UK it might be risky to negotiate new trade deals and sign political cooperations with the outgoing government…

    Tiaras and Jewels guessing for upcoming events: 2024

    With today’s announcement of a general election to be held on Thursday 4 July, we can probably expect a State Opening of Parliament to be held a couple of weeks later… I guess Queen Camilla will most likely wear the George IV State Diadem like the last time… If there is a change i guess it will...

    British Royal Family Current Events 11: Sep 2022 -

    If the non-titled Peter Phillips and the Tindall’s can be there, i think it’s very likely that the nobility-titled Louise and James may also attend down the line… But as Louise is at St Andrews University and James at Radley College, it will probably be a while.

    The title of Unicorn Pusivant of Arms in Ordinary has been a scottish title since 1381.

    British Royal Family Current Events 11: Sep 2022 -

    Yes that sounds plausible that he may attend something if his health of the day allows for it, but that another member of the RF is announced as the main guest, so there will be little difference and still a royal presence if the Duke of Kent would have to cancel for health reasons

    British Royal Family Current Events 11: Sep 2022 -

    It makes me a bit worried that the Duke of Kent won’t take part in anything, given his long background in the British Army and always having been a regular at military related events up until very recently…. He’s the only member of the royal family apart from the King to hold a military 5-star...

    The Death of Thomas Kingston, Husband of Lady Gabriella Kingston

    Lady Gabriella often attended social gatherings like Chelsea Flower Show, Trooping and Ascot before… It would be lovely to see her there again, and i think it would be good for her to get out among people again, in well known and controlled spaces… She seems to be a very nice person and have a...

    Charles III and Queen Camilla, Current Events Part 1: September 2022-

    The portrait of Charles himself is not bad, but a more discreet colour than the screaming red would have been preferable. Now it looks like Charles is standing in a fire and almost vanishes…

    Danish State Visit to Norway: May 14 - 15, 2024

    Another lovely state visit between 2 tight and very close knitted families… The all nordic state visits is always something special to see 😊

    Danish State Visit to Norway: May 14 - 15, 2024

    She is not mentioned at Kongehuset.no so i think she is at her military training… The Royal Couple, The Crown Prince Couple, and Princess Astrid is listed as attending.

    Duties and Roles of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie 2: Discussion Sep 2022 -

    While i personally wouldn’t have anything against Beatrice being given a more prominent role, i don’t think that will go any further than attending commonwealth day service, chelsea flower show, garden parties, trooping, ascot, and lunches and dinners during state visits, and maybe the...

    Queen Mary of Denmark Jewels 1: 14 Jan 2024 -

    That tiara was if i recall correctly aquired by the Amalienborg Museum so i’m not sure it would be available for Queen Mary or anyone in the royal family to wear… The matching Sapphire Demi Parure is still Queen Margrethe’s property.

    The Danish Orders and Monograms

    According to Royal Historian Trond Norén Isaksen it is not given that Queen Mary will be made a Grand Commander of the Order of Dannebrog anytime soon as there is no precedent of appointing anyone in connection with accessions… Queen Ingrid was appointed on King Frederik IX’s 60:th birthday in...

    British State Visits & Tours: General Discussion, Suggestions & Musings

    Not this summer but this autumn in connection with the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa… However all that is depending on the king’s health so we won’t know anything until it gets closer With the same logic King Charles should pay a state visit to Japan as well - but it has...

    British State Visits & Tours: General Discussion, Suggestions & Musings

    The only reason i could think about for inviting Sweden (and Finland) for a State Visit anytime soon would be Nato and the Defense and Foreign politics Cooperation… However Sweden is not one of UK’s biggest trading partners so i don’t expect it to happen soon though….. But surprises are always...

    State Visit from Moldova to Norway: May 6 - 7, 2024

    Unless you live in Norway or Moldova, this visit came totally in the media-shadows of the Danish-Swedish State Visit… A little bit sad that they didn’t choosed other dates so it could get the media-space it deserves

    Next summer it is 50 years since King Carl XVI Gustaf paid a State Visit to the United Kingdom (hosted in Edinburgh)… He was then unmarried and was accompanied to the State Banquets by his sister and brother in law Princess Margaretha and John Ambler who already lived in UK… Queen Elizabeth II...

    Queen Silvia Jewels 4: Jun 2023 -

    Though she has worn the Leuchtenberg Sapphires from time to time for royal state visits too, like the state visit from Spain in 1979 and the state visit from Luxembourg in 2008.

    Crown Princess Victoria Jewels 4: Jun 2023 -

    It’s always like that for state visits… The difference tonight is probably that swedish television broadcasted the arrival of the guests and the presentation, wich is very unusual in Sweden.
