    Hello Josefine,

    I can not find other pictures. Regarding the jewels, Princess Christina was wearing the Bernadotte pearls, but that's all. The three other sisters apparently wore only their family order worn on the white lapel of the traditional mourning dress of the Swedish court.

    Remember that, in 1973, Princess Christina was de facto Sweden's "First Lady" (Queen Louise had died in 1965, Princess Sibylla in 1972, the King was not married, Princesses Margaretha and Désirée were not considered as members of the Royal House due to their unequal marriages, Princess Brigitta had made an equal marriage but lived in Germany, and Lilian Craig, though present on the pictures, had still not married Prince Bertil).

    I can not identify which necklace Lilian Craig is wearing.
