Queen Mary STUNS in Pearl Poire Tiara in Norway! Mette-Marit Wears Amethyst & Queen Sonja Emeralds 

Mary is a stunning woman and rarely puts a foot wrong, king Frederick is lucky to have her as his wife

Queen Mary is stunning and beautiful,unlike Rachel Markle

Brittany, you have given us this week The Crown Report which was so well done and Tiara Tuesday/Wednesday giving us the beautiful way Royals represent their countries and themselves so graciously and with dignity. Thank you for all you do. . .

Queen Mary does it again! The makeover of the dress was a perfectly subtle, breezy color with a gorgeous organza top that elevates the look. The tiara is stunning! Everything she has worn lately has been so tasteful. Crown Princess Mett-Marit of Norway is so beautiful and elegant. Lovely tiara, and necklace. Brittany, I loved the Ann Taylor dress linked in a previous video. You looked lovely. Thank you!!!

I always get glittery goose-bumps when I hear the quote at the end of your videos.

Thank you so much. I love seeing all these ROYALS. EVERYTHING IS SO BEAUTIFUL

I can’t overstate how disappointed I’ll be if we don’t get a fashion video just to see Queen Mary’s outfits from the visit! The brief glimpses from the Crown Report just wasn’t enough. My husband walked in while I was watching this and immediately recognized that I was watching Tiara Tuesday 😂

Queen Mary's lilac gown looked super elegant with the organza top and the sheer overlay. I didn't know that this was the gown she wore that the Prince Carl Phillip's wedding in 2015. The more you know. The rework is great I would love it if the British royal ladies do rework on their gala gowns. The Pearl tiara looked amazing it her brunette hair.

Queen Mary looked gorgeous. Thank you for another informative video. I hope you will do one on her outfits.

Can't say anything, except I'm so, so proud, of the Danish Royals. Queen Mary looked fab, and both of the official trips to Sweden & Denmark, were a lot of fun. The familiarity and the cordial smiles & hugs all round, were great to see Great video, Brittany hello from Denmark 🌸

It’s interesting how the royal families have used tiaras with such versatility, turning them into brooches, earrings, and necklaces.

There are several reasons why Mary chose the pearls for Norway: Queen Lovisa (Louise) of Denmark (1851-1926) was actually not only the mother of the Danish crown prince, her second oldest son was chosen by the Norwegians as king (= the current king's grandfather) after the dissolution of the union with Sweden. He was named Prince Carl (after his grandfather) but was renamed to the more Norwegian-sounding name Håkon VII when he became king of Norway. That is why Queen Mary wore the set of pearls during the state visit to Norway. Queen Lovisa was born - as Brittany said - as a Swedish princess and became Crown Princess and Queen of Denmark through marriage. She inherited the ruby set (which Mary wore on the state visit to Sweden from her grandmother, Swedish Queen Josefina and the pearl set which Mary wore in Norway from her mother who inherited it shortly before her death from her parents.

Love it Britney, Tiara Tuesday on Wednesday, well its Thursday where I am, is my favourite channel. Loved Mary's look, and loved those Emerald Tiara's. Keep up the fabulous Royal reporting, you're my number one go to for all things Royal

I love the deep dive on the history of these tiaras and all the twists and turns they take through the generations

I'd love a video on Queen Mary of Denmark's style evolution from when she was dating Frederick to now, I think it would be fascinating to see! Loved this video and this channel ❤

That emerald tiara is just stunning!

Thank you! I was SO looking forward to special on Queen Mary and her first appearance with this special piece! Gorgeous!!

I find it so interesting to see how the royal women are reusing or reworking their gala gowns. Queen Sonja’s coral gown has been in action since 1995! Mette Marit’s evening skirt was a rewear (I’m not sure about the jacket) and Mary’s gown was brilliantly reimagined. I’m going to make a leap and guess that she was probably happy to have the sheer fabric wrapped around her neckline because I don’t think she’s overly fond of wearing large, ornate necklaces. Just an unprovable hunch based on her track record.

Queen Mary is stunning.

Queen Mary has brought some beauty to the genetic mix.

Queen Mary is a beautiful, stylish, quiet royal woman, who is not about flaunting the jewelry, but sharing and respecting the deep history importance for these incredible European pieces that often show what the social relationships are, bc the jewelry is an expression of the Noble, Aristocratic, Royal classes, therefore some of these pieces denote a special relationship that crosses into various households bc of alliances, marriages, honorary gifts. European jewelry is a fascinating subject to delve into. Once the Europeans stated circumventing the world, they got, collected, stole many incredible gems from Asia, Africa, India, South America and so on. Such amazing precious gems are still in sight and awareness. Most should be in a collective World museum for everyone to appreciate, understand and know about how they became the incredible historical jewel they are. So amazing. I love Queen Sonia’s exquisite Emerald parure. Gorgeous. One of my favorite jewelry ensemble in Europe. I like many, many pierces. Thx Brittany for sharing so many wonderful historical points and how gorgeous much of the European Royalty jewelry is! 👍🥰♥️

Lovely queen Mary

I LOVE your videos about all those beautiful tiaras!!

I teach a class of 6th grade girls, who asked me what their birthstones were. When one asked to see rubies, I showed them the Danish Ruby Parure Tiara. Later, when I showed them a photo of Queen Mary, she was wearing it! I think I was even more excited than my students to see that photo!

Would love to see Princess Catherine wear a colored tiara

Queen Ingrid is a gracious, beautiful and lovely woman and Queen. So loved! ❤

Love the lavender on you, too!💜

Thank you for the nice podcast! Yes, queen Mary of Denmark looked absolutely amazing! I think, I like her look even more than the one she wore at the state banquet in Sweden. This light blue/lilac gown with the pearl tiara gives some lightness and freshness as compared to the one with the golden skirt she wore in Stockholm. I also miss the British tiaras. I was disappointed to see the British royal ladies wearing some substitute headbands at the king’s coronation. I understand that it has to do with the cost of living crisis and it’s great the royals are sensitive to that, but, c’mon, when else to wear the tiaras than on the coronation ceremony?

Queen Margaret I love her she’s beautiful.

Some royals dress proper and have class. And some for sure cant understand how to do it or wont do it to make same kind of statement.

Queen Mary looked stunning in lilac with the Pearl Poire Tiara. I'd be curious to see if she wears the Floral Aigrette Tiara someday. Queen Margrethe II wore it beautifully with her hair in a French twist.

Queen Mary never misses! That orange dress was not my favorite especially with the emerald tiara. I love hearing about the Netherlands and their Crowns!!!! ❤❤❤ Thank you!

Queen Mary looks like Catherine on the Tatter magazine cover. It certainly doesn’t look like Princess Catherine

You look great. Great Episode. The European Royals sure did knock it out of the Ball Park on The state visit.

Queen Mary of Denmark is quite a woman. To be born an upper middle class child in Australia, living for a time in Texas USA as a child, and then moving back to Australia with her family. Several years later, after Mary finished college and had worked for a few years, she meets Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark who was in Sydney for the Olympic Games. They became engaged and the lovely Mary moved to Denmark and started learning how to speak Danish, which is a difficult language for a native English speaker. She not only learned to speak in Danish, she became fluent in Danish. She and Frederik had 4 children and she became Queen in January, 2024 when Frederiks Mother, Queen Margrethe abdicated in favor of her son, the new King Frederik. Queen Mary, in all her years as Crown Princess and now as Queen Mary of Denmark has never put a foot wrong and is greatly beloved by the native Danish people. Australians are incredibly proud of her, as they should be. She is Royalty done right.

Great job as always Brittany 😊

Loved the gauzy draped neckline. The creative makeover of the dress is wonderful.

You look Lovely today, Britney! You rock the lilac and pearl look. You do need a tiara... 👸

Queen Lovisa of Denmark was the King of Norway’s great grandmother and that is why she wore to pearl set.

You look lovely Brittany❤

I LOVE your pearl jewelry AND your headband! You look wonderful!

Absolutely plan a video in a tiara shop! Also Philip Treacy fascinates!🥰

I have the exact same headband from TJMAXX. It is so helpful on Sunday’s bad hair days. You look marvelous today.

Excellent, as usual 😊

Queen Margrethe announced her abdication on December 31 2023. However, the actual instrument of abdication was not signed until January 14 2024. January 14 is a special day for Her Majesty as it was the day of her own ascesion to the throne

Thank you for a wonderful video. You can see how much research you’ve put into it. I absolutely love this channel. There is so much ugly in the world, this is a place I can come to and look at gorgeous pieces of fashion and jewelry along with the history behind them.

It's kind of sad that there was no mention of the king's sister, Princess Astrid, who wore the Turquoise set (tiara and necklace) for the state banquet.

Maybe when you next come to the UK you could visit Lilly and Bennet and try on some tiaras and get some background such as how you know what style would suit you etc.

loving the blonde on you!!!!

She rocks it!!!!

Thanks for the video Brittany, you work so hard for us and its much appreciated. Queen Mary's dress is lovely and personally I'm a fan of the bright orange of Queen Sonja but it is a bit OTT I get it. What do you think about a video about all the crowns/tiara worn to the various coronations, there's some amazing pieces there, not just from royalty but also from the nobility as well.

Looking gorgeous in lavender (lilac?), Brittany

Brittany…… I am not sure of what you mean when you say a jewel belonged to “X of Co-knot”. Do you mean Connaught? In that case it’s pronounced Con-aught or Con-awt (with a lengthening of the “au” or “aw”) as per the British pronunciation of the Province of Connaught in Ireland. Of course we Irish pronounce it totally differently, as in “Cun-nocht”, from the Irish Connacht. Thank you for your historical information…… I love your channel!

❤❤❤

Love this channel.

Great video! I'm once again reminded that I will forever feel robbed by Charles' tiara less coronation, sigh.

Queen Margrethe ll of Denmark, did NOT abdicate the Throne on the 31st December 2023. She Announced her Intention to Abdicate the Throne of Denmark, in favour of her Son, Crown Prince Frederik, on the 14th January 2024, the 52nd Anniversary of her Own Accession to the Throne. The Danish Constitution says that A Council of State Meeting must be called & The Monarch must Formally Sign the Articles of Abdication in their Presence. Once the Articles of Abdication are Signed & only then, the Council will declare the Throne Vacant. Then they invite the Crown Prince to take the Throne at Which Time He Must Re-Take his Oath to Uphold the Constitution, for the Second Time (The First Time was at 18yrs Old & when he was Recognised as Crown Prince & Queen Margrethe ll 's Heir). At this particular Meeting, Prince Christian also took The Oath to Uphold the Constitution & was Recognised by the Council as the Crown Prince of Denmark & Heir to King Frederik X of Denmark. The Prime Minister of Denmark in the Capacity as Chairman of the Council of State, Announces to the Council, the New Monarch of Denmark, by his Regenal Name, then the New Crown Prince & The Council stand & Acknowledge their King (in this instance) by Bowing or Curtseying. After the Formalities of The Council of State are Complete, the Prime Minister formally Announces, on the Balcony overlooking the Assembled People of Denmark, that their Queen, Margrethe ll has Abdicated & They have a New King, King Frederik X. The Announcement is made 3 times, facing the 3 Points of The Compass. The Throne can not Stay Vacant, The Monarch Leaves, The Throne is Vacant for a Few Minutes only, The New Monarch is Recognised & takes their Place on the Throne. This Information should help you in the Future, Every Monarchy in the World works the Same, whether by Death or Abdication, The New Monarch is Proclaimed within Minutes of the Old Monarchs Death or Abdication. Only the British Monarchy still has a Coronation following the Proclamation, the Rest of The World's Monarchies only have a Proclamation.

Brittany, there is a tiara being sold June 12 at the New York Jewels auction, is that a “missing” tiara that is resurfaced? It’s #25 on “Phillips “. I know very little about how often these come to auction.

Tiaras in jewelry stores are probably targeted to bridals. I still would love to see it in a video.

Hello Britany love the soft color dress in lavender the center front butten would look better closer, otherwise. You look soft and beautiful.❤

i ❤❤❤❤❤

Portuguese history nerd here: King Pedro was King of Portugal (Pedro the IV), but I believe he lived most of his life in Brazil, after the Portuguese court moved there because of Napoleon’s invasion of the Iberian peninsula. Anyway, king Pedro was always more affectionate towards Brazil, and it was he who declared the independence of Brazil - becoming Emperor Pedro the I, of Brazil. However, a civil war broke out in Portugal between liberals (represented by Pedro) and the absolutists (represented by his younger brother, Miguel). King Pedro returned to Portugal to fight in the civil war and the liberals won. I do believe that at some point he was king Pedro IV of Portugal and emperor of Brazil at the same time. His throne was then passed to his daughter - Maria, who became the first female reining monarch in Portugal. I believe he didn’t had any connection to Spain, as you mentioned in the video, however I might be wrong. He was a brave man, and his passion for Brazil was admirable. I’m not aware of any other heir to the kingdom of the “metropolis” declaring independence of a “colony”. Obviously this needs to be seen in the context of the late 18th century/ yearly 19th century reality. But anyway, a cool character for those times.

Brittany, I love your reports, but it’s accession not ascension when a person accedes to a throne.

Brittany, the timestamp 13:52 on this video I believe captures princess Margaret at the wedding. Any thoughts?

There must be a lot of nicknames in those families lol!

❤❤

I have the same headband from the German version of TjMaxx, which is called TkMaxx in Germany. It's kinda funny....divided by ocean, united by shopping :)

At 3:08 you used a black & white photo of jewels on a table taken after the RUSSIA REVOLUTION of 1917 to illustrate what Louise of Sweden may have received when she married Frederic of Denmark in 1869! She died 5 years before the revolution. ACCURACY IS IMPORTANT, don't you think????????????????????

If former Prince Charles shouldn’t have decided to skip the tiaras at his coronation ceremony would TOW also participate and demanded to get a tiara she never gave back.

Ingaborg, Lockenbergh, Metty-Mareet. It is very easy to do research in pronunciation, please do so.

We don’t count the carats we count the centuries 🫠♥️🫶💫✨

Crown Princess Louisa is so strange looking.

Mary looks amazing, as usual. However, I'm not a fan of big dangling pearls, I think pearls look best as a single strand. So the tiara is a no go for me.

Why didn't King Frederick escort her down the ramp? The way he raced on ahead was rude

I have the same head band from TJ Maxx😂😂😂

I call that color Periwinkle

I love your fashion videos Brittany, especially anything with a tiara. But you need to learn to pronounce the names correctly

As I watch the couple disembark the ship I notice how she is following behind her husband. All I can think about and laugh is how Harry’s wife would have practically knocked him off the gangplank trying to get in front of him for the photographers. 😂

The lady has always been overt attractive and when you consider she has had multiple children and isn’t a kid anymore she is darn good looking. She has always been a penny pincher of sorts but she always looked fine. She is one good woman and a lovely Queen

Brittany your button in front of the dress I still open 😥

Connought is pronounced KON ORT 😊

I wish you would learn to pronounce Queen Margrethe’s name correctly. You make it sound like there is an I in it..

It’s so interesting how several of the royals in Europe ( such as Mary and Maxima) are from foreign countries but, unlike Meghan, took time to learn the rules and protocols and even the languages of their husbands’ lands. They serve their new countries with dignity and grace. I feel so ashamed that Harry chose such a poor bride, who seemed determined from the outset to not respect the tremendous role she had stepped into. What a waste. What a wastrel.

Please, learn how to pronounce the names of the royals you're talking about! 🙄
