This is just excellent -- I love when people recycle props from old Hollywood alien movies!

HRH The Crown Princess of Sweden and Mr. Daniel Westling
June 19, 2010

Well, kids, yesterday we partied hardy in the wedding live posts, and today we get to have a tiara fiesta!  I've compiled all of the tiara entries for the royal guests at Crown Princess Victoria's wedding to Daniel Westling (now Prince Daniel) in this entry.

The wedding, of course, took place in Stockholm yesterday.  The couple has been together since 2002, when Daniel became Victoria's personal trainer.  Love blossomed, and on their wedding day, Daniel became royal.  During their balcony appearance, Victoria thanked the people of Sweden for giving her a prince.

And now, we'll all just have to wait to see how long it takes before the pitter-patter of little royal feet are heard in Haga Palace!

Another new royal for the blog!  This is Princess Sophie of Liechtenstein, wife of Hereditary Prince Alois of Liechtenstein.  Sophie was both born and married royal -- she was Princess Sophie of Bavaria before her wedding.  Interesting tidbit: she's also expected to eventually inherit the Jacobite claim to the British throne -- talk about your convoluted royal puzzles, that's the grand-daddy of them!

I think Sophie looks just smashing in the Habsburg Fringe Tiara, a Liechtenstein family heirloom that was once apparently owned by the royal family of Austria.  Alois's grandmother, Princess Gina, wore the tiara often,  but these days, it's not seen frequently.  It's a shame, too -- it's one of the prettiest fringes I've seen!
