In a way a tradition has been established with this tiara. Unfortunately with Princes rarely marrying Princesses it will go no further
1. Tiara given by Khedive of Egypt to Princess Margaret of Connaught when she married the heir to the Swedish throne 2. Given to her daughter, Princess Ingrid of Sweden when she married the heir to the Danish throne 3. Given to her daughter who is married to the de jure King of the Hellenes Hopefully, Anne-Marie will leave it to her Danish family.
--Previous Message-- : I feel the same way about important pieces : leaving the main branch...for my example I : will use Khedive tiara which Queen Ingrid : inherited from her mother...as fair as : Ingrid was about splitting her jewels : amongst 3 of her daughters, she should have : come up with some plan to leave Khedive : tiara to her daughter, Queen Margrethe II of : Denmark and made sure that all the future : Queen's would wear it...talk about leaving : the legacy of herself and some of her : mother... : : : : : : : : --Previous Message-- : My dear Tamara, you absolutely spoil us with : these stuning HQs!

I really like the way in : that Sweden and the Netherlands royal : families have dealed with this issue. In the : old days princes would marry princesses, who : would bring many glitering wedding gifts or : inheritances to add to the royal vaults (so : it happen with Viktoria of Baden, Margareth : of Connaught...). But today things are : diferent, if the remaining jewels keep on : being spread to minor lines, in one or two : generations there will be not that much left : from the family jewels (with exception to : crown jewels). In Sweden and Netherlands all : the royal ladies can borrow the jewels of : their preference, but the major historic : family pieces remain in the main line and : cannot be sold nor inherited, I think it's : the perfect solution. : This is just my personal opinion of : course... : : : : --Previous Message-- : You are welcome : : I have a feeling that CP Mary will inherit : Aigrette tiara because they do not have : anymore diamond tiaras to go with diamond : crown jewels...and most likely Palmette will : go to Marie..but this is my logical approach : : : : on a second thought...palmette would nicely : complement Mary's wedding tiara...so this : way wedding tiara will be worn as it was : meant to be ...
