Claes..do you know if Baden tiara was part of that will stipulation? --Previous Message-- : 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. : : : --Previous Message-- : 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? : : : : --Previous Message-- : 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. : : --Previous Message-- : In the latest issue of lovely Swedish royal : mag Kungliga Magasinet , which I just : received, there's a whole lot of info & : pics to enjoy! : I shared some of my first impresions here: : : : : : http://members3.boardhost.com/scandinavia/msg/1395927055.html : 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 : : : : : : :
