1)I think King Constantin was not able to buy this tiara, his wife had already 2 important parrures and the Danish Khedive tiara. 2) Queen Anne Marie did not want to look like a diamond lover and to be compared to Queen Frederika. 3) The tiara belonged to Princess Irene and was bought with the Miller’s $$$, ? 4) Thanks to the glamour of the danish Court the Greek royals may wear their great jewelry. --Previous Message-- : 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. : : : :
