Crown Prince Haakon and his family thank you for the kind greetings from far and wide on the 50th birthday and share some of their holiday memories - including from this year's family trip to Finnmark.

Picture four shows the Queen and the Crown Prince family in Neiden. There they visited the Skoltesamisk museum, where Venke Tørmænen and Bjørn Ståle Tapio showed them around.

Upcoming Tiaras for 2023

Of course the biggest tiara event of the year will be the British coronation but there are also a trio of Scandinavian celebrations and a bunch of weddings to look forward to.

King Charles III of the United Kingdom's Coronation

King Charles III's coronation will take place on May 6th. There won't be as many tiara events as the last one in 1953 but the coronation itself should still give us plenty of tiaras. There will be the extended British Royal Family of course but there will also be many foreign royals attending. Usually (with a few exceptions like Queen Sālote Tupou III of Tonga) other monarchs do not attend so expect to see the heir or their spouse wearing the biggest and most historical tiara they have access to. I have a lot of posts planned for the lead up to the big day but I'm going to wait until we're a bit closer to start actually posting them.

Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan & Rajwa Al Saif's Wedding

Crown Prince Hussein and the future Crown Princess Rajwa will be married on June 1st. I expect a decent royal turn out more in line with Prince Hamzah and Princess Noor Asem's wedding in 2004 than any of the other more low key weddings in the family. I'm hoping she will wear the Arabic Scroll Tiara but the bride's family is apparently very wealthy so I wouldn't be surprised if they gifted her a new tiara.

Crown Prince Haakon & Crown Princess Mette Marit of Norway's 50th Birthdays

Milestone birthdays in the Norway usually mean a gala event with foreign royals and tiaras but Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette Marit sometimes do things a little differently. In July and August of 2013, their 40th birthdays were celebrated with a music festival at Skaugum where Haakon parachuted in, played with one of the bands, and they all slept in tents so who knows what we're going to see this time around. If they do have a gala event I think this would be the perfect opportunity for Crown Princess Mette Marit to debut Queen Maud's Diamond Tiara.

King Carl Gustav of Sweden's Golden Jubilee

King Carl Gustav is celebrating 50 years since he ascended the throne and there will be a lot of different events celebrating the jubilee throughout the year but the one we're expecting tiaras for is the gala dinner at Stockholm Palace on September 15th with foreign royals in attendance.

Prince Christian of Denmark's 18th Birthday

They haven't announced a date yet for the gala dinner celebrating Prince Christian's coming of age yet but his birthday is on October 15th so it should be around then. I'm especially excited for this event after seeing so many of the younger generation of royals turn out for Princess Ingrid Alexandra's birthday last year. The Danes go big for milestone birthdays so expect a lot of tiaras.

Some other possible tiaras

Wedding of Princess Azemah of Brunei & Prince Bahar Bolkiah

Wedding of Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg & Nicolas Bagory

Wedding of Princess Iman of Jordan & Jameel Thermiotis

Wedding of Princess Theodora of Greece & Matthew Kumar

Wedding of Infanta Maria Francisca of Portugal & Duarte de Sousa Araújo Martins

18th birthday of Infanta Leonor of Spain, Princess of Asturias

Tin (10th) Jubilee of King Willem Alexander of the Netherlands

Tin (10th) Jubilee of King Philippe of Belgium

Which tiaras are you most excited about in 2023?

Norway’s Tiaras: Queen Maud’s Diamond Tiara (1/?)

The first tiara in this series was brought into the royal family by Queen Maud. According to Order of Splendor, Maud received this tiara as a wedding gift from “Lady and Gentleman Friends” when she married Prince Carl of Denmark of 1896. Nearly ten years later, when Carl became Haakon VII of Norway, Maud brought her tiara with her. Made by an unknown designer, the tiara has rather delicate, floral features topped by diamond uprights.

Following Maud’s death in 1938, the tiara was passed to her daughter-in-law, Crown Princess Märtha. After Märtha’s death in 1954, her three children made a pact that they would wait until the youngest, Harald, married before dividing up her tiara collection. When Harald finally married in 1968, Maud’s diamond tiara went to her oldest granddaughter, Princess Ragnhild. Despite spending most of her time in Brazil, Ragnhild did wear this tiara for state visits and other important events like her younger brother’s 50th birthday. When Ragnhild died in 2012, it was reported that this tiara passed back into the main line of the royal family, though it has not yet been worn by any current members. Personally, I would like for this to become Mette-Marit’s signature tiara when she becomes queen.
