Hi Dave,

I agree they all look the same not only the tiara's but the dresses, the hair the lot, however it's wonderful to see such a line up.

The Japanese royal's have never seemed to go for coloured gems. Maybe someone else knows why but i suspect pearls have always been favoured due to the fact they are local. I also wonder if Japan's isolation for centuries was a factor but then again that wouldn't explain the diamonds.

I think perhaps in the end it's the purity and uniform of the look. If you notice none of the ladies have outshone another one.
