Wow! Each of the royal ladies attended three galas in a different tiara each time! Now we can’t even get a gala with one tiara, let alone three! Maybe we’ll get at least one tiara event whenever the current Spanish sovereigns do their state visit. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

  The last Spanish State Visit to Norway was in 2006 I believe, so we might have to wait much longer for the next one!

    Rats! I was hoping that we would have a new one in the next year or so since this is a new monarch. We’ll just have to wait and see.
