To continue on our ‘Tiara Roundup’, we will look at Belgian Royal Tiaras in 2016. Queen Mathilde of Belgium had five tiara events this year in which she made full use of her limited collection. There were incoming State Visits from Germany and Jordan in the Spring, a 70th Birthday Banquet in Sweden, and two outgoing State Visits to Japan and the Netherlands in the Fall.
