King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of the Belgians are currently on a state visit to Denmark. These royal/royal state visits are some of the sparkliest ones around, and this one didn’t disappoint. Let’s start off with a look at the official arrivals.

…and an important heirloom brooch. This pearl and diamond bar brooch was an eighteenth-birthday gift to Margrethe from her great-aunt, Lady Patricia Ramsey (born Princess Patricia of Connaught). Patricia wore the brooch on her wedding dress, and Bjarne Steen Jensen theorizes that it was made by Garrard.

Crown Princess Mary wore earrings and a brooch with a natural design. I think both the brooch and the earrings are from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

And Princess Marie wore a brooch that coordinated nicely with her coat and blouse.
