    It's not Queen Ingrid, but Qn Anne-Marie of Greece who say ......

    : Roger has allready stated that queen Ingrid
    : told him in an interview that the tiara was
    : still in the family. He did not say if she
    : told him who owned and how that person got
    : the tiara.
    : Another poster disclosed that the tiara was
    : still with the Greek Royal family again no
    : mention of the owner.
    :
    : That leaves several options, but all have a
    : catch. to name a few:
    : 1 Frederika left the tiara to grandson
    : Pavlos. The catch being that Pavlos' wife
    : first wore the tiara 16,5 years after their
    : marriage. She loaned her mother-in-law's
    : tiara for her wedding and a few other events
    : and either bought herself or was given by
    : her father the fringe tiara.
    : 2 the tiara was left to another member of
    : the family who gave or sold it to the
    : crownprince(ss?). There the catch is who
    : inherited it, but as it wasn't worn either
    : princess Irene or prince Nikolaos are
    : potential candidates. Neither would have
    : worn the piece and might prefer the piece to
    : remain with the main branch of their family
    : and they might prefer the financial reward.
    : 3 the tiara was in the hands of someone else
    : but still officially owned by a member of
    : the family and only came back to the family
    : recently. Catch is who had the piece and
    : why?
    :
    : So while reliable sources have reveiled the
    : tiara still was with the family it is unsure
    : with whom and why it only showed up in 2012.

    : I think it is absolutely possible that
    : someone
    : other than Constantine or Pavlos inherited
    : the tiara. Still seeing how massive the
    : piece is on Marie-Chantal i would not be
    : surprised if she decided not to wear it for
    : a long time because it's not a youthfull
    : piece on her. She may have needed her
    : current age and a certain level of maturity
    : to feel comfortable in it.
    : Though im thrilled to see the piece back in
    : action after so many year i have to be
    : honest and say that the princess looks much
    : better in her own diamond fringe tiara or in
    : the pearl tiara of her mother-in-law.

    : 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.
