There is something off about Camilla's version of the sapphire tiara. There is some brown fabric behind it that makes it is distracting and messy. Is that the base because it looks crooked and not symmetrical to the tiara. I get that the base needs something to connect to the hair but why such a dark colour? It wasn't the queens as she had been grey for decades and we know that some of her tiaras had a silver/white base.

I really love Queen Camilla in the sapphires and I'm actually liking the tiara more on her than I did on QEII but there is something weird going on behind the tiara. She also shortened the necklace the first time she wore it but then had it lengthened and added the pendant last night. I love that she's already showing a willingness to change around the late Queen's jewelry although I wish she'd worn the matching earrings instead of these modern ones. QEII had the necklace shorted by four sapphire clusters and the largest was turned into the pendant back in the 50s so there's a few more in the vault to play around with.

It looks to me like the hair is fluffed up behind the tiara and part of what we're seeing is a shadow. In the middle picture from the car last night I don't see the big shadow on the left like I do in the bottom picture from inside the event or the top picture from the state banquet last week so I'm wondering if it's something that's not noticeable in person but is visible in pictures because of the flash.

Then there's what looks like a brown pipe cleaner on the right that is not the base of the tiara which is lighter. I'm not really sure what's going on there. @royal-hair any ideas? I think her hairdresser is just doing the same thing they've always done but this tiara is so much more open than her others so we're seeing how the tiara is attached for the first time. Queen Camilla has always had great tiara hair in the past and is capable of pulling off really big ones so I'm confident that this is just a blip as she's getting used to new tiaras.

Yeah, the Swedish royals are usually just better at covering up the base of the tiara so we don't notice if the velvet wrapping is the wrong color. There have been a few instances where you can see it clearly. A very blonde Princess Madeleine wearing the Connaught for the first time at Crown Princess Victoria's wedding springs to mind and back when Victoria started wearing the Baden Fringe it still had white velvet because at the time Princess Lilian was it's most frequent wearer.

Also not everyone wraps the base of their tiara. The Dutch and the Belgian royals generally just leave the frame unwrapped then they don't have to worry about matching the wearers hair. Queen Margrethe also didn't have her tiara frames wrapped but she wasn't sharing them anyway. I'm not really a hair person so I don't know how much having the velvet around the frame helps the tiara stay on. Some people clearly find it useful while others don't.

How does the Swedish RF do it then? Because Victoria, Madeleine and their aunts (white hair) have all worn the same tiaras. Do they change the fabric at the base and the BRF just doesn't bother lol?

That question might be better suited for the tiara experts, but for starters, the Swedish ladies are pros at the tiara hair game and usually the base of their tiaras isn't staring at you in the face. There has been a couple times when I noticed Victoria wearing a lighter base or Madeleine in a darker base but usually it matches their hair well (as for the aunts, I haven't been able to find a good picture of their tiara bases.....again impeccable tiara hair) but here's one example of them changing the color of the base:

@royal-hair It looks like Sofia has black ribbon rosettes in the back of her updo.

She's channeling Queen Silvia at the Nobels back in 1991.

TIARA ALERT: Princess Sofia of Sweden wore her Emerald Palmette Tiara for the Nobel Prize Ceremony at Stockholm Concert Hall on 10 December 2023.
