Real reason why Queen Mary wore $40k brooch in place of a tiara
- Queen Mary did not wear a tiara at the Canberra state banquet, choosing a leaves brooch instead.
- The outfit included a reworked Jesper Høvring gown Mary first wore in 2010, updated for sustainability.
- Experts say the tiara absence was a deliberate choice tied to the host and occasion.
- Mary's Australia tour features a blend of Danish and Australian brands to highlight ties between the nations.
- The six-day tour began in Uluru and ends in Hobart, with Canberra hosting the state banquet.
- The broader aim of the visit includes strengthening economic ties in sustainability and the green transition.
- Mary’s blue-blood protocol is to coordinate outfits in advance with hosts for state events.
- Mary previously wore a tiara on other state visits, but not on this Australian dinner.
- Mary re-wore a mint gown from 2010, updating it with a lace overlay for the banquet.
- The brooch is from Ole Lynggaard’s leaves collection and features 18-karat gold with pavé diamonds.
