I don't think the pearl tiara of the princess is a great loss to the Norwegian monarch and it is nice for Princess Ragnild's descendants to have a regal piece of jewelry to remind them of her special position. What excites me more is that the diamond tiara of Queen Maud now is back for use with the Royal Family. Im curious to find out who and when will be the first time the tiara will be used. With Queen Sonja allready using the Floral diamond tiara and the Maltese coronet i think we might see the piece first on Crownprincess Mette-Marit. I hope we won't have to wait for Ingrid-Alexandra to grow up before the tiara makes an appearance again. --Previous Message-- : : : --Previous Message-- : In a very interesting, detailed article : about : the grand diamond tiara of Queen Maud, Trond : N.
