Does someone have an upright pic of this lovely tiara, please? It seems to be substantial but it is hard to tell when worn lying on the wearer's head. --Previous Message-- : Of course, Countesses Josefine, Camilla and : Feodora will do what they want with their : inheritance. If they want to sell their : heirlooms (either in a private transaction : or in a public auction), they are perfectly : entitled to do so. If I well remember, they : have already done it with pieces of silver : and furniture; they can do the same with : jewels. : : What I meant is that they can also decide to : conclude a transaction with their cousins of : the main branch to give/sell them some of : the jewels inherited from their late parents : (I think notably of the beautiful sapphire : and diamond tiara which was frequently worn : by their mother, Countess Anne-Dorte, and : which was a wedding gift from Tsar Nicholas : II of Russia to Queen Alexandrine in 1898, : and which would be a perfect match with the : beautiful sapphire and diamond necklace : occasionally worn by Queen Margrethe II): : : : : Moreover, the three Countesses are perfectly : entitled to do what they want with their : parents' inheritance, but so far, they have : not inherited the jewels currently in the : possession of their uncle, Count Ingolf, or : of their aunt, Princess Elisabeth. And : Ingolf and/or Elisabeth are also perfectly : entitled to do what they want with their own : jewels - including NOT bequeathing them to : their nieces: they can also bequeathe these : jewels to the Royal Family's main branch, or : sell them at auction to fund selected : charities, etc. In other words, the three : Rosenborg sisters inheriting Ingolf's and : Elisabeth's jewels is a possibility, but not : a certainty. : : As Countesses Josefine, Camilla and Feodora : are now very remote from the Danish official : life, and that they very rarely take part in : glittering royal events, whether in Denmark : or abroad, they do not really need major : jewels. Therefore, I think the good deal : would be that they inherit the minor jewels : (brooches, bracelets, pendants, pearl : necklaces, maybe the smallest tiaras...), : which can be used by modern women in social : circumstances, and that the biggest jewels : (Count Ingolf's Fringe Tiara, Princess : Elisabeth's Sapphire Tiara, Countess : Anne-Dorte's Sapphire Tiara, Count Ingolf's : Greek-meander diamond bracelet...) go back : to the Royal Family's main branch. : :
