The Crown Princess of Sweden's Wedding: HSH Princess Nathalie of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleberg
I have to give this royal trooper a big round of applause, because I was convinced we wouldn't see her at today's wedding. I mean, Nat's due to have a baby boy in June, for heaven's sake! But I suppose, when the Swedish cousins come calling, you have no choice but to answer and show up in a Swedish heirloom tiara. (This one is Nathalie's grandmother Ingrid's Star and Pearl Tiara -- Ingrid was a princess of Sweden before she was a queen of Denmark.)
Unfortunately, the poor dear did look like she needed a nap and a half:
Don't blame her at all -- I hope they let her go home with her new hubs after the dinner was over! Waltzing in formal wear at eight months pregnant sounds less than fun!
Thanks to lovely readers Maggie and Brian for sending in these photos!
She does look gorgeous, and what a trooper for making it to the end. I don't normally like this sort of pokey tiara, but it suits her.
This tiara is one of my least favourte: it's so pokey, so steal a word from maggie.
But kudos to Nats for even showing up!
Im not generally a fan of spikey/pokey tiaras but I've always had a love affair with this one. Its so different and great though imo, her mum is the only one that can bring out its full potential. And, what a trooper.
I like this tiara actually (it's the stars - me and my white trash roots again!) and respect to her for struggling through whilst heavily up the duff.
Never heard that expression "heavily up the duff" before. It made me laugh out loud. Thanks, JamesB.
What a beautiful picture. What a wonderful way for a woman to look at her husband when they're expecting a baby. You can see he's smiling, too. Great Shot!
