I agree with your statement that there is "never enough". Just imagine those splendid gala events / state banuquets with all the royal ladies wearing these historical pieces! I believe it was the Queen herself who stated once that jewels are made to be worn, and I expect her grandchildren will in the future attend more glittering events than the daughters of Count Christian. So there will probably be a real need for more jewels in the main branch. --Previous Message-- : It would seem logical that the daughters of : the late Count Christian and Countess : Anne-Dorte of Rosenborg receive their : parents' jewels - though I doubt they will : have use of them. : : But Count Ingolf and Princess Elisabeth are : both childless, and I guess that nothing in : the Danish inheritance law : "forces" them to bequeathe their : respective jewels to their Rosenborg nieces. : They could decide to bequeathe their jewels : (at least the main ones) to their cousin the : Queen, or to Crown Prince Frederik/Crown : Princess Mary, or to the Crown's collection : (i.e. the jewels kept at Rosenborg Castle). : From a historical and dynastic point of : view, that would make sense (at least for : the jewels coming from Queen Alexandrine or : earlier). : : I do not know how warm are the relations : between Prince Knud's children and the main : branch of the Royal Family, but it would be : fine if a private agreement between the : cousins could be found about the whereabout : of these jewels after Elisabeth and Ingolf's : death (which, I hope, will not arrive too : soon... but will necessarily happen, sooner : or later). : : I would certainly not say that the main : branch has enough with their jewels.
