My theory: My guess: Queen Frederika of the Hellenes has left the diadem to her grandson Crown Prince Pavlos. This is not unusual. Queen Ingrid of Denmark also left a major parure to her grandson, Crown Prince Frederik. Probably Queen Frederika made conditions together with her gift under an embargo lasting 25 or 30 years. The Lady High Donoress can stipulate various conditions in her Will. One possible condition: the spouse of her grandson must be of royal or noble descent. If this condition is not respected, the gift is blocked by an embargo. Also such conditions, blockades and embargoes are not unusual, as we have seen in various disputes in royal families, the Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburgs as most famous case. The embargo on not meeting the condition probably has a time slot as it can not last for ever. Maybe the embargo lasted for 25 years or 30 years and has now become defunct. Any guess is as good as it is. Setting conditions to gifts is not unusual. For an example, Queen Wilhelmina donated the Crown Domains to the State of the Netherlands but with the condition that the domains must remain intact, that the Bearer of the Crown would enjoy the usufruct and that with an end to the monarchy the State has to return the Crown Domains to the House Orange-Nassau or give a financial compensation for the worth of the Crown Domains. This is a quite extended condition. So any condition can be made by a formal donation. Any guess is as good as it is.
