Jorge, you should post this interview at the Franco-Iberian MB I loved the good sense showed by D.Isabel, referring to D.Afonso's upbringing: "Religion and the monarchic ideal should be passed in small doeses. Otherwise he might become atheist and republican " --Previous Message-- : HRH the Duchess of Braganza gave an interview : while in Brazil to assist the wedding of : Princess D. Amélia de Orleans e Bragança. : The Prince of Beira, the Infanta D. Maria : Francisca and the Duke of Porto also : participate for the first time (as far as I : know) in an interview to the Royal Family. : : The interview was, apparently, very informal : and was made in the suite the Royal Family : occupied while in Rio. I must say I liked : very much to read it. With the interview we : now know that the Duke was not present at : the wedding. : : But because this board is about royal : jewels, let’s go to the point. : : D.Isabel finally explained why we do not see : the D.Luis Diadem more often. HRH consider : that jewel a beautiful piece but as it is an : precious heirloom, is very well protected : and the Duchess decided not to take that : tiara outside Portugal. Besides, HRH : consider the diadem too big. Apparently the : Royal Family already talked about the : possibility of the Infanta D.Maria Francisca : to wear this diadem at her own wedding. : : The Duchess stated that the Family tries to : preserve the heirlooms in the main branch of : the family, passing them from oldest son to : oldest son (heir to heir). However, : apparently this is only valid to the : Braganza heirlooms since D.isabel is : thinking in passing the wedding presents of : her mother-in-law to her daughter (named in : honor to her grandmother). I must say It : will be quite sad to see jewels like the : Ladies of Rio aquamarines or the D.Maria : Francisca diamond necklace to leave the main : branch of the family. : : The interview can be read here . Although : it is entirely in Portuguese, it worth to : make a visit to the website to see the : pictures of our beautiful Royal Family. : :
