Mrs Hélène Vestur attended the wedding of the Princes of Luxembourg. Grand Duchess Josephine Charlotte did not like her. The only one she loved is Princess Sybilla , she borrowed once her scroll tiara.
Princess Margaretha of Liechtenstein is very very close to Queen Fabiola . Her first born son died short after his birth and is buried in the Church of Laeken as our Royals. As close Niece she received earrings. Well seen Hans !
--Previous Message-- : Thank you for your answer Johan. I'm sad to : know about that, Pc Jean seems like a nice : quiet person. I wonder if his first : "unauthorized" marriage also : contributed to the situation you refer... : Looking in my archives I have no photo of : Helene Vestur wearing a tiara. During the : many years of their marriage was she never : present at any tiara event of the Grand : Ducal house? I remember that after their : separation she was invited for some events : to celebrate GD Henri and GD Maria Teresa : 25th wedding anniversary in 2006. : : : : --Previous Message-- : 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. : : --Previous Message-- : 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?
