Princess Chantal wears the bracelet loan from her brother Michel ?
--Previous Message-- : Regarding the share of family jewels among the : late Count and Countess of Paris' children : (and grand-son Prince Robert, Count of the : Marche), our fellow poster Vincent had : posted the following message on this board : in 2008: : : "One of you asked what had happened to : these jewels. Let me answer: they have been : divided between the children of the late : Comte and Comtesse de Paris. : ¤ the diamond rivière (made in 1976 by : Boucheron for the Comtesse de Paris using : old stones) was attributed to Princess : Claude : ¤ the diamond cross brooch (provenance : Duchesse de Chartres) belongs to Princess : Chantal : ¤ the diamond earrings (same provenance for : the two main stones) went to Prince Jacques, : Duc d'Orléans : ¤ the diamond comb (also coming from the : Duchesse de Chartres, it's in her will) went : to the present Comte de Paris : ¤ the diamond bracelet and brooches have : been split (provenance : made by a French : jeweller called Fillon for the Comtesse de : Paris in 1931 using the stones from the : fleur-de-lys tiara inherited from the : Duchesse de Chartres): : - the bracelet went to Prince Michel : - the brooches went to Princess Diane : ¤ the Action Française tiara (made by : Mellerio in 1931) went to Princess Isabelle : ¤ the pearl and diamond earrings (provenance : Duchesse de Chartres, no proof they ever : belonged to Queen Marie Amélie) went to : Prince Robert : ¤ the diamond engagement ring (it is huge : and also comes from the Duchesse de : Chartres) went to Princess Anne : ¤ the pearl necklace (big one, Madame had : two others) went to Princess Hélène. : : A few years ago the Coty emerald and diamond : tiara was sold by the Comtesse de Paris, but : luckily to her own daughter, Princess : Chantal, so it is still in the family. : : There were a lot of other small pieces of : jewellery but it would be a bit too long. : (...) : : Info provided by one of the : princesses." : : I (Arthur, not Vincent) would add that I am : pretty sure that the Coty emerald tiara : (bought by Princess Chantal from her mother) : has been dismantled (tamporarily or : permanently, I do not know). During the Duke : and Duchess of Vendôme's wedding in Senlis : on 2 May 2009, Princess Chantal wore a pair : of emerald earrings and an emerald brooch of : which I am sure they come from the Coty : tiara (Princess Chantal had also pinned the : diamond cross brooch on her jacket, but it : is partially hidden by her glove): : : : : : --Previous Message-- : I have a (rarely used) facebook account but : couldn't find the page either. : : Did they make public who inherited certain : pieces of jewellery? I assuem that the comte : de Paris inherited the (now butchered) hair : comb? And is it known who received the : bracelet and brooches tiara? : : : --Previous Message-- : Thank you, Stefan. Do you have a link to : Bernadette von Schönborn-Buchheim's facebook : page? I have looked for it on the net, but : not found it (I do not have any facebook : account, which may explain this unsuccess). : : Princess Isabelle of Schönborn-Buchhein, : eldest daughter of the late Count and : Countess of Paris, inherited the 'Action : Française Tiara', presented to the Countess : of Paris as a wedding gift in 1931 by the : French monarchist movement 'Action : Française'. Princess Adelaïde, daughter of : Prince Michel, wore this tiara on her : wedding day in 2002. : : : --Previous Message-- : There is on pic on the Facebook profile of : Bernadette. Yes it is the same tiara as worn : by Princess Adelaide at ther Wedding. : --Previous Message-- : That is interesting. I haven't seen pictures : of that wedding. Was it the same tiara that : was also worn by Princess Adelaide : d'Orleans? : : In the report about the Orleans - Einsiedel : wedding this summer Bunte wrote that the : bride was also "offered a tiara from : the Bourbon treasury". So are you sure : that Princess Isabelle inherited the tiara, : or might Bernadette also have been offered : something from that "treasury"? (A : wonderful contraption to hide the real : ownership of the jewels. They know how to : keep things in the dark.) : : --Previous Message-- : And another diamond and sapphire tiara was : inherited by Princess Isabelle, Countess of : Schönborn-Buchheim. Her daughter-in-law : Bernadette wore it at her Wedding earlier : this year. : : :
