but wouldn't you think IF that is IF Marie Chantal purchase this tiara from the family to help financially and to save the tiara...she would have worn much sooner than now??? she did had to borrow tiara for Prince Frederik's wedding in 2004...and before her father bought the fringe tiara, wore pearl tiara which now is worn by Princess Theodora....so as logical as this sounds..to me will stipulation of Queen Frederika makes more sense at this time
