AAAAAAAAAAH I'M LOOSING IT!!! This is the mightiest tiara face off in decades!
Lovely to see the Braganza again ! I had not expected that
And once again, Prince Daniel is put below his wife when it comes to orders… This time actually 2 steps below….. I really don’t like that But i guess we have to get used to it
I see no problem with the heir being given a higher order than the one given to the heir's consort. It happened also to CP Mary during the Belgian state visit to Denmark, although not in the Dutch state visit.

Yes i know, i still call it the Stuart Tiara..There was no Stuart in this constellation. Queen Máxima opted for another large round brilliant cut centre diamond, I have the idea it is the centrepiece taken away from the Art Deco Diamond Devant-de-Corsage. On this picture it is it is used as a pendant of a collier: picture.

Wow...I've never noticed how much the Braganza sparkles! The Stuart sparkles, but it is blinded in comparison to the Braganza sparkle. I'm sure part of it is the lighting of the room and the angle of the camera, but WOW!
At first I thought that Silvia was being low-key with an evening gown with little embellishment, just beautiful fabric. But now I understand why, the Braganza is all the sparkle that is needed.

With many people in Europe going through hard times, I am not sure the time is right for so much bling, but few people pay attention to those state dinners anyway.

Who is sitting to the left of King Carl Gustaf?
Best dressed this evening Victoria and Sofia.
Best Tiara Silvia- she still rocks the beast!!
Both Maxima and Silvia´s dressed not so beautiful imo- And the Stuart still looks horrible big, Maxima should stop wearing the big setting.. Use the Stuart for something different..
Please could someone steal Sofia's wedding Tiara, that she must wear a different Tiara?
I think the last time Victoria wore the Amethyst Tiara was for the inauguration Dinner of King Willem Alexander in 2013?
Looking back it´s sad Silvia choose the Cameo for the Spanish state visit instead the Braganza
According the Swedish Royal house Facebook, that’s the Minister of Defense of the Netherlands, Kajsa Ollongren.
Interesting that the Minister of Defense was chosen to sit next to the King. Maybe because of Sweden's recent application to join NATO and the latest Russian threats to Swedish security.
So Prince Daniel got again a lower order then Victoria, but then she got the highest dutch order.

Might she be the highest ranking official from the Netherlands attending?
She also has Swedish citizenship through her mother.
It's a really nice surprise to see Estelle at this state visit - and I agree, this is due to Willem-Alexander being her godfather. Really lovely to have her be positioned right next to him as well.
I watched the video of the arrival and carriage ride and while it included lots of 'pomp', it all looked rather messy to me.
The presence of the press taking pictures and the crowd of Dutch nationals greeting the royals contributed to the "messy" feeling.
