I've been asking myself the same questions on Pss Elizabeth and Count Ingolf jewels. Unfortunately I think its more likely they will leave the jewels to their 3 nieces, given that they are not that close to the main branch. However I do hope that Pss Frederick makes a good offer to his cousins if they decide to sell the jewels. The saphire/turquoise tiara and the diamond fringe tiara would look absolutely spectacular on Crown Princess Mary's dark hair. Or perhaps Prince Joachim...but then again his first wife was never presented with a second tiara to wear nor any important jewelry... Anyway, I would hate that these pieces would leave the family and go to auction house... --Previous Message-- : : I've often wondered why Queen Alexandrine : and Queen Ingrid did not donate one or two : pieces from their private collection to the : family foundation : "fideiskommiset".
