Yes it is true. Queen Victoria wrote in her last will that if any of her grandchildren will marry to a commoner the jewels she wanted to give to them will go to the foundation instead.

: Thanks Marianne...
:
: I am honestly going with Claes on this one
: because when stories are told over and over
: again they are changed by each author..and
: it is not so far fetched that Princess
: Benedikte might not know the
: "real" story behind this tiara.
:
: I think the actual Will of Queen Victoria
: which Claes had a chance to read is more
: valid proof in this case
:
: and if I recall correctly, didn't will
: stipulate that the grandchildren of Queen
: Victoria will inherit important pieces ONLY
: if they marry into another Royal house?

: Thanks for this post. But I thought Princess
: Ingrid inherited the tiara from her paternal
: grandmother Queen Victoria. I have read the
: last will made by Queen Victoria.
:
: Swedish papers and magazines writes a lot
: about the wedding gifts to then Princess
: Ingrid in 1935, but no note about this
: tiara.
:
: And King Gustaf V gave to his granddaughter
: Princess Ingrid the big jewel which today is
: wearing as tiara by Queen Anne Marie of
: Greece, her daughter and daughter-in-laws.

: Among the things I loved reading was the
: fact that Princess Benedikte, being one of
: Princess Madeleine's sponsors, intentionally
: used Queen Sofia's star tiara on Madeleine's
: wedding day last year.
: Princess Benedikte inherited this tiara from
: her Swedish-born mother Ingrid, who received
: it as a wedding present from King Gustav V
: of Sweden at the time of her May 1935
: wedding to Crown Prince Frederik (the later
: King Frederik IX) of Denmark.
: Great pics in this mag and much info!
: Highly recommended
