THE QUEEN, PRINCESS ALICE, AND CROWN PRINCESS ANYA GRACE THE BALLET

This evening, The Brindleton Royal Theatre had a very special premiere of the brand new play, The Night Swan, by the late renowned playwright, Sir Marcial Hawse. The play is Sir Marcial’s final work before his death last year at the age of 95. 

Aside from its all-star cast, the event attracted the glitterati of Brindleton. The already elite and star-studded audience was even kicked up a notch by the attendance of not just one, but THREE royals!

(Above: The royal guests enjoyed the play from the royal box, also referred to as “The Queen’s Box”. The Royal Theatre was transformed into a magical garden, the setting of the play, and was decorated with live blooms, foliage, and even an impressive waterfall.)

Her Majesty The Queen was accompanied by The Crown Princess as well as Princess Alice, who is the Royal Patron of the Brindleton Ballet Society. The royal trio occupied The Queen’s box, where Her Majesty and Their Royal Highnesses enjoyed the best seats in the house.

The three-hour play, which included multiple costume changes, and intricate set designs, seemed to impress the royal guests. Princess Alice, who herself used to dance ballet and was a member of the ballet society, looked especially thrilled by the performance.

After the show, The Queen, The Crown Princess and Princess Alice then proceeded to meet some of the members of the cast. Isadora Hinggies, who play the titular Night Swan, revealed that Her Majesy congratulated her and the entire production for a job well done:

“I was practicing what to say in my head and I was trying to remember the protocol for meeting The Queen, but I think Her Majesty noticed I was a bit tense, so she took my hand, shook it, and told me she loved the performance. I was really relieved! She’s really very nice and very personable. She makes you feel very comfortable around her. She thought everyone did brilliantly and even shared that she used to dance ballet as a child, but it was Princess Alice who was really gifted. She also asked me how long I’ve been dancing and she seemed shocked when I answered that I’ve been at it since I was three, but she laughed and said she’d keep that it mind for her grandchildren.”

For the trip to the theatre, the royal guests pulled all the stops - we’re talking fancy dresses, jewels, and tiaras! We just love a surprise tiara outing, and tonight, we were lucky to get three in one go!

(Above: The Queen wore her mother’s tiara, The Queen Ophelia Birthday Tiara, with its emerald attachments to complete her green-themed look. Princess Alice, meanwhile, stuck with her own birthday tiara which she received on her 18th birthday, designed and commissioned by her father, the late King Leopold.)

Her Majesty went monochrome with a nearly all-green get-up comprised of a long-sleeved green gown, her mother’s birthday tiara worn with the emerald cabochon pendants, and its matching suite. 

Princess Alice, meanwhile, wore a butterfly print gown with a full skirt and quarter sleeves. HRH opted to accessorise with a diamond necklace and earrings, and topped off her classic french twist with her own birthday tiara.

(Above: Classy with a hint of Sexy - The Crown Princess turned heads and impressed with her statement red-and-white lace dress. Her Royal Highness showed off her toned legs and strappy heels thanks to the dress’s thigh-high slit.)

And then there’s The Crown Princess who most definitely did not disappoint. While we often see the heir to the throne in re-worn dresses and relatively comfy/casual outfits, HRH switched it up tonight and decided to go ultra glam in a red and white two-piece dress that boasts a daring -yet still classy- thigh-high slit. The Crown Princess also brought out the big guns, especially with her ruby and diamond drop floral earrings, which she complemented with matching cuff bracelets and a large ruby ring. For her choice of tiara? HRH wore one of her faves: the ruby and diamond Brindleton Foliage Tiara, one of the most recognisable diadems in the royal collection. Fun fact, the tiara is one of the few “blood princess tiaras” in the vault - meaning it can only be worn by blood princesses born into the royal family. This is why it can be worn by The Queen, The Crown Princess, Princess Eleanore, Princess Alice (although she’s never been photographed wearing it), and even Princess Ingrid (still technically hasn’t been photographed wearing it), but the late Queen Ophelia never got a chance to do so. That’s because the late queen was born a commoner who married into the family, hence, not a blood princess, making her unqualified to don the ruby and diamond headpiece.
