    I get the impression Jean is considered the black sheep of the Nassau-family. Why Diane has no access to the family-pieces may have to do more with his standing in the family rather than his wife.

    : I understand your point Henri, but I'm
    : thinking that perhaps Queen Fabíola will
    : pass on her major jewelry (the spanish
    : diadem, the aquamarines, the pearls, her
    : small diamond tiara...) to the new Queen,
    : and perhaps she will give some of her
    : smaller jewels to her nieces (in-law) as a
    : gesture of her affection. Perhaps to the
    : ones she feels closer, I don't know.
    : I would doubt if Pss Marie-Christine would
    : get any jewel.
    : On Diane de Nassau née De Guerre I also have
    : some doubts...This very elegant and
    : distinguished lady is Ps Jean's second wife,
    : and Queen Fabíola, as we know, is a strict
    : catholic, I don't know how she reacted to
    : this second marriage.
    : It puzzled me a bit why Diane Countess of
    : Nassau wore a tiara privately owned by her
    : sister-in-law, Pss Sybilla, at the
    : prewedding event of Ps Guillaume's wedding.
    : She looked splendid (to me one of the most
    : elegant ladies) but since she is the wife of
    : Ps Jean why did she not wore a tiara from
    : the Grand-Ducal collection? I believe there
    : were still several that could be worn by
    : her...perhaps she didn't like them. Is it
    : known how fluid is her relation with her
    : husband's family?

    : Interesting but also somewhat 'sad' maybe
    : because this means that Queen Fabiola's
    : jewelry collection will now become
    : fragmented instead of presented as a nice
    : collection for the new Queen.
    :
    : By the way, Princess Margaretha von and zu
    : Liechtenstein is sort of niece-by-marriage
    : to Queen Fabiola: she is a daughter to her
    : late sister-in-law. Queen Mathilde has no
    : links to Queen Fabiola's family-in-law. I am
    : curious to learn of more 'nieces' will be
    : spotted with Fabiola's jewels...
