--Previous Message-- : Princess Charlotte died in 1977 Princess Grace : died in 1982. It has been reported the two : women did not get on very well and that : Charlotte was close to Caroline. However we : don't know anything about the contence of : her will. It is perfectly possible that : Rainier inherited most of his mother's : jewels. Grace did not have much events : between the death of her mother-in-law and : her own death to wear the grander pieces : (the pearl tiara and the fringe : tiara/necklace come to mind). : Caroline has been seen with her : grandmother's saphires but has only worn the : pearl tiara twice and the fringe necklace : three times since 1977. : Both pieces have been in a travelling : exhibition about the late princess Grace and : according to the information plates in that : exhibition both pieces belong to HSH the : Sovereign Prince of Monaco. That would mean : that Albert II and not his sister owns them. : Grace's tiara's (the small diamond one, the : bain de mer ruby tiara and the diamond : necklace/tiara) have not been worn since her : death. : The obvious candidate to wear them : (Charlene) has only worn her own foam-tiara : once and the larger sea-tiara/necklace as a : necklace once. : : : --Previous Message-- : Yes Henri, I second your opinion, Pss Grace : wore many loaned jewelry. : The 3 ruby brooches/tiara given by the : Société des Bains de Mer de Monaco, along : with the long rubi and diamond earrings and : rubi and diamond ring were her personal : possession. The 3 ruby brooches, ruby : earrings and ruby ring wore worn by her 2 : daughters in various events, altought they : never wore the elements in the frame as a : tiara, Pss Grace was the only one to wear : them this way. : The question remains if/when we will see Pss : Charlene wearing these pieces... : : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Hi Casper, thanks for the great pictures. By : the way it is HSH and not HRH : : What I understood was that Princess Gracia : had no large collection since her : mother-in-law Princess Charlotte bypassed : her jewels to Princess Caroline. : : I think all jewels above were loans to the : Princess. I believe the only ruby set owned : by the Princess was the diamond-and-rubies : suite given by the Société des Bains de Mer : (not in the pictures above). : : : : :
