We also thought for decades that Princess Irene owned the Peacock Parure. It seems that only the ruby earrings she wore with it are hers. Another option could be that she put the parure and possibly other pieces in the family foundation with the requirement that the foundation would remain open for her descendants.
As for not owning anything else. The late Duke was financially not well off. Princess Margarita is at least on paper not very wealthy (as she seems unable to pay maintenance for her ex-husband). We have no idea about the worth of Carlos and Jaime. Irene inherited a major amount of money from her parents and Carolina married into one of the wealthiest families of our country. So those two women are at the very least more than comfortably off.
The fact that we don't see major jewels on them and only the occasional piece from the ON-collection does not mean they don't have anything. It may just be that they prefer to keep them under lock and key. Not being seen as very wealthy is easier and safer.
