In my opinion the Queen has a every right to share what's in her jewelry box. Ad the fact that Queen Beatrix lent them to her family shows that she is very open with her extended family. She can't wear everything so why not let other members of the family show it off. --Previous Message-- : I know that it has already been said, but in : my opinion, I do not agree with the : excessive generosity shown since the time of : Queen Juliana, and then by her daughter, now : Princess Beatrix, to allow the younger and : minor members of the RF to wear too : important jewels from the Royal collections. : Looking at the photos in the fantastic web : site on the Dutch Royal jewels, I saw : Princess Irene's daughter, or : daughter-in-law, wearing important brooches : or other jewels, also worn by the Queen : herself. : In other words, in my opinion there are not : enough jewels worn exclusively by the : reigning Queen, or now Queen consort. : I mean, really, the jewel collection is so : vast that I cannot see jewels from the : emeralds parure or Peacock ruby set worn by : the Bourbon-Parme princesses. Or important : diamonds stomachers worn by Princesses : Laurentien or Mabel. : Maybe I compare too much the Dutch Queen : with QEII, who does not give away easily her : jewels, except some items lent to the : Countess of Wessex when she attends Royal : ceremonies with her husband, representing : the Queen. : As I said, this is only my opinion. :
