In my opinion the fantastic event of the reappearance of this gorgeous diamonds tiara is not casual. I mean, I find hard to believe that the tiara was left lie in a vault in the possession of the Greek RF, considering as RF the King and Queen and their children. How many grand events there were in the past twenty years, during which the tiara could have been worn by the Queen of Greece, whom started to wear a diamonds only tiara just after the death of her mother, the late Queen Ingrid of Denmark, when apparently inherited the Khedivé diamonds tiara. Can you imagine, if they had that tiara at the moment of the grand wedding of TRH Prince Pavlos and Marie-Chantal in 1995, the Crown Princess would have looked much more regal than she already did in the diamonds and pearls corsage tiara. What is more, the diamond/pearls corsage tiara had no previous tradition as wedding tiara, while Queen Sophia's huge diamonds tiara was worn by the then Princess Frederica on her wedding day. IMO it was re-purchased recently by Princess Marie-Chantal, who has the means to do so, maybe bought from Princess Irene, who maybe had inherited. It's not so important all this, the fantastic reality is tat we are all glad that this historic and imposing jewel made its reappearance.
