Your Weekly Tiara Treat: Why Princess Marie Chooses This Floral Sparkler for (Almost) Every Occasion
At Denmark's April 13 state dinner for the president of Mexico, Princess Marie chose her favorite accessory: her floral tiara. (She's only ever worn one other since her 2008 wedding to Prince Joachim!) The sparkler, thought to be late-19th or early-20th century, originally belonged to Princess Dagmar, the fourth and youngest daughter of King Frederik VIII of Denmark and Queen Louise of Sweden and Norway. Princess Dagmar married for love, and although her husband Jørgen Castenskjold was of noble birth, their children were deemed to be commoners, denied regal titles and so had no compelling need for expensive courtly jewels.
