Order of the Elephant New Year's Court 2012: HH Princess Elisabeth of Denmark

It's a new year and a new hatter, everyone!  This is Princess Elisabeth of Denmark, Queen Margrethe's first cousin and the last person in the line of succession to the Danish throne.  She's also wearing a new sparkler for the blog: Princess Thyra's Sapphire Tiara.  Thyra, a sister to King Christian X of Denmark and King Haakon VII of Norway, had no children, and she left this tiara to her niece, Princess Caroline-Mathilde.  Elisabeth, Caroline-Mathilde's daughter, later inherited the tiara.

It reminds me a bit of the Edward VII Ruby Tiara in Sweden.  What do all of you think?

    Glad to see a new face on the board. And I like the tiara too.

    Hopefully, we'll see more of this elusive princess at the Ruby Jubilee celebrations.

    She's got a whiff of Princess Anne hasn't she...

    Not that I wish the old girl any harm, but wouldn't that sparkler look rather fab on Mary!

    Very nice to see Princess Elsabeth make her Mad Hattery debut! I believe her tiara was made by the same jeweller as Margaret of Connaught's ruby tiara.
