Well, gifts from a private person are different I think. When a person marries or someone dies, often the families ask that donations and gifts be made to various charities. It can also provide a possible tax write off. In the case of someone like Queen Charlotte, she requested her her private gifts of jewels be sold to provide her daughters with income. That I can understand. Personally, I would be quite overwhelmed with all the choices some of these ladies have. --Previous Message-- : Queen Paola received jewels from Mrs Kabila . : We will never see them they are in the royal : Vault .
