    The Berleburgs live closer, and are often in Denmark, while the Greek children have to travel from further away.

    I expect Queen Margrethe will celebrate her 75th birthday in 2015 with a gala, and certainly also the 80th birthday.

    : That would be wonderful! But it's still 10
    : long years till then.
    : There will also be the Golden Wedding in
    : 2017.
    : I noticed that the Berleburgs often attend
    : events in full force, while there are always
    : some of their Greek cousins missing. Maybe
    : that is due to the fact the Benedikte is
    : still a member of the Royal House, acting as
    : regent and having a strong official role in
    : Denmark?

    : I hope to see a large bunch of Greek
    : relatives
    : at Queen Margrethe's Golden Jubilee -
    : Philippos might be married at that time!
    : So, one can expect the Queen, the Crown
    : Princess and four Princesses.

    : Thanks Clemetine for the lovely picture of
    : Princess Alexia.
    : The information I have is that this tiara
    : was an 18th anniversary gift from her
    : parents and was purchased for her. I have no
    : information on the jeweler that made it, nor
    : if it was new or purchased on an auction of
    : classical jewels.
    : I find it a lovely classical style diamond
    : tiara for a young princess.
    :
    : I always wonder why the King and Queen never
    : did the same for their youngest daughter
    : Princess Theodora. Although she has far
    : diferent interests than attending galas, she
    : did had to borrow the danish turquoise tiara
    : from her aunt recently. There seems to be a
    : lack of smaller tiaras for the younger
    : princesses. I will assume that Princess
    : Marie Chantal will wear the fabulous diamond
    : tiara of Queen Sophie on grand ocasions from
    : now on, and her own fringe tiara for lesser
    : ocasions. Princess Alexia has her own tiara.
    : So, Princesses Theodora, Tatiana and the
    : future wife of Prince Philipos will have to
    : share the corsage tiara or borrow some from
    : aunt Margareth...
    : Anyway perhaps they will not attend gala
    : events at the same time, so they can share.

    : There's a debate on Facebook (Royal Jewels
    : Fan
    : Club) about the diamond tiara worn by the
    : princess on each royal events for many
    : years. Is it a Greek royal family heirloom,
    : since I can't find any picture of her mother
    : the Queen Anne-Marie wearing it ? Or was it
    : purchased ?
