What would the reactions have been if the Princess had paid 1 million Euro for a Cartier Tutti Frutti bracelet and another 1 million Euro for a Cartier Tutti Frutti collier?
The reactions on this purchase (50.000 Euro for bracelet and collier) were already condemning: "Well well... 50 grand just for some glimmers?" while it could have been 40 times more. And it was not even in crisis time back then, when she showed her new jewels...
I think the Princess looked great, her jewels included.
