I agree with you SarahN, on this board a lot of Members thought to see this tiara again on Tatania. But Tatiana. wore the same tiara as Marie-Chantal on her wedding day..
--Previous Message-- : Princess Tatiana isn't a billionaire's : daughter, but isn't her family fairly : "comfortable"? : : --Previous Message-- : if cash was a reason for another member of : the : family to sell the tiara i think Nikolaos : might be a likelier choice. His aunt Irene : allready has two convertable necklace : tiara's so why would queen Frederika leave : her unwed daughter a third tiara? : Also Nikolaos married recently and his wife : is pregnant. Lovely as she is, she did not : bring a trustfund so their financial : situation is different. The couple may have : opted to sell the tiara to the crownprincely : couple and use the money to set up their : family. : Still it all remains speculation. If only : Max Foster had asked the crownprincess : ......... : : --Previous Message-- : 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. : : : : : : : : : :
