Hi! Im new to this board and to the world of royal glitter.
I think that I have read in difference places that acctualy one of the sister of Beatrix has sold her share in the foundation to her sister/sisters and that this is the reason that this sister and her children are not seen in pices from the vaults. Sorry but dont remember exactly where I have readen this or how realible sources they had to prove it.
--Previous Message-- : I think that is a plausible possibility : indeed. The other is that with the deaths of : Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard, both in : 2004, the four daughters assembled together : in counsel, took good advice from the plenty : of the advisors the royal family has. : Probably already in the handling of the two : heritages, the four daughters made : arrangements concerning the jewels and other : properties which are "neccessary" : for the kingship. After all King : Willem-Alexander has the use of everything : Queen Juliana already had and Queen Máxima : shows us the one treasure after the other. : : The strange is also that a son of one of the : four Heiresses, the King, is now director of : the Foundation while his mother and the : three aunts are the actual heiresses of his : late grandmother. It is all very complicated : but so to see everything has been worked out : nicely as Queen Máxima does not fail to : glitter us. : : : : It remains intriguing that only the De : Bourbon de Parmes seem to show more jewels : than the Van Vollenhovens and the : Guillermos. Undoubtedly because they belong : to a Royal House but maybe also because : Margriet and Christina were somewhere : compensated. The article claims that the : Domain De Horsten, with 21 farms and several : houses, is owned by the Queen and Princess : Margriet. The other two sisters are not : named. Undoubtedly there are a lot of : specific arrangements. For an example the : Guillermo's got more artworks, or cash and : the De Bourbon de Parmes got more entrance : to the jewels. Who knows? All sisters seem : to go well, in great harmony, so it must : have been solved with satisfaction for all. : : : : :
