True, I have also read about a big & long discussion in 1953 between King Leopold III & his daughter Princess Joséphine-Charlotte. Joséphine-Charlotte wanted to have the emerald-diamond choker-bracelet-tiara that was given to Queen Astrid when she gave birth to her. I read in the newspaper that it took a few weeks before Leopold (or Lilian) wanted to give that jewel to Joséphine-Charlotte. Considering that Joséphine-Charlotte owned it since 1953, that would mean that the emerald-necklace tiara is still in possession of Fabiola who also didn't want to wear it.
