Princess Mary wore the ruby Tiara Queen Ingrid gave to her Grandson Frederic. The Queen never wore it and was happy to see this tiara again. Crown Princess Mary change the tiara and I agree totally with Tamara and Boris It is sad to change historical jewels.
She owns one tiara , the one she received as wedding present and again she added a row of pearls.
I visited Rosenberg Castle and saw the State jewels and Wow.. I hope the future Queen will never change them. May She ?
