According to Bjarne Steen Jensen, the delicate little brooch with ruby drops worn by Queen Margrethe during the state visit to Indonesia originally belonged to her paternal grandmother Queen Alexandrine.
Jensen makes no definitive statement as to how it came into Queen Alexandrines possession, but he finds it natural to assume that it was a gift from her husband, King Christian X.
