Paola received the diamond art-deco bandeau from King Leopold III.
Fabiola received the diademe of the provinces from King Leopold III.
Fabiola received an enormous gift, the diamond crown from the Spanish head of state.
I don't know if both ladies received jewels from the nobility of Spain/Italy or from the Italian/Spanish people. But it sounds logical that they received some jewels. Remember the huge amount of jewels of Queen Fabiola wich has not been seen since years!
