Indeed, the diadems of the Duchess of Brabant and Princess Claire are recent additions as well (since they married into the Belgian royal family) and do not look to cost 3 million Euro, to use an understatement. --Previous Message-- : Remember that the Bourbon-Parmas received over : 3 million euros in compensation for the : "disappearance" of Infanta : Antonia's tiara. One would have expected : that a new tiara would have been bought to : replace the lost tiara. As we all know, one : can buy a tiara in an auction for : considerably less than 3 million. I really : had expected that Carlos would have bought a : tiara for Annemarie for her wedding. It : could have been a nice family piece for : Margarita and Carolina too. : : : --Previous Message-- : I suppose the family fortunes, spread across : so many children of Duke Robert and his two : wives, were gradually dispersed and the : jewels sold . . . : : --Previous Message-- : Thnak you very much Gert-Jan and Jelland : Sprang for allowing us to see the picture. : : Princess Annemarie looks really beautiful! : Its lovely that HM is very generous and : gives acess to the vaults to her nephew's : wife, the Duchess of Parma looks lovely : wearing this tiara, it looks great on her. : : However I must say I feel sad that the wife : of the Head of the Dukal House of Parma has : to borrow jewels from the Dutch Royal : Family, I hope I am not misinterpreted in my : view. : I mean, its lovely that she has acess to the : jewels of the reigning maternal family of : her husband, and we love to see her wearing : them, but as top representative of the House : of Parma the Duchess should have her own set : of jewels I believe. : : Are really no jewels left in the Parma main : branch? (I am excluding jewels that went to : Ps Charles Huge sisters). Its strange that : the main branch gets nothing and colateral : branches get the jewels... : As far as I remember Pss Irene, when Duchess : of Parma, only wore Infanta Antónia's : diamond tiara from the Parma jewels. I know : the Parmas were very rich, there are picture : of Infanta Antónia wearing the diamond tiara : (reported stolen) and several large : riviéres, but I don't know their financial : situation now. : The Duke of Parma should consider buying a : nice tiara/necklace and some other pieces to : his lovely wife, they could start a new : collection of Parma jewels . : : : : --Previous Message-- : Finally I found a photo of the B-diner in : Luxemburg. On the photo we see Princess : Annemarie, Duchess of Parma and Piacenza she : wore the Dutch emerald tiara. : : I had the permission from Jelland Sprang to : post his photo on Royal Jewels of the World : Message Board.
