Of course we canīt be sure that the 3 Rosenborg countesses will inherit their uncle and aunt jewelry, but since they have no children the 3 nieces are the most natural heirs. Of course, as you wrote, their uncle and aunt can make a testament and dispose diferently of some/all of the jewelry. It would be wonderfull if the major pieces would go back to the main line, but again it is known that the relations between the two branches are not the best possible. Time will tell.
--Previous Message-- : Thank you very much, Kasper, for posting these : pictures of your visit to this exhibition! : : Queen Alexandrine's fringe tiara is not my : favorite fringe tiara (I think it lacks : intermediary elements interspersed between : the spikes), but it is a very interesting : jewel anyway. And your pictures give a good : view of the tiara base and mount, which is : also very interesting. : : Actually, as far as I know, we have no proof : that Josefine, Camilla and Feodora, the : three daughters of the late Count Christian : and the late Countess Anne-Dorthe of : Rosenborg, will inherit the jewels belonging : to their uncle Count Ingolf (and his wife : Countess Sussie) or to their aunt Princess : Elisabeth. As neither Ingolf nor Elisabeth : have children, I guess they are free to : dispose of their jewels as they like it. : Bequeathing their jewels to their nieces : might be an option, but bequeathing them to : Queen Margrethe II, or to Crown Prince : Frederik, or even to the young Prince : Christian might be other plausible options. : : The three Rosenborg sisters live a rather : anonymous low-key life, so they will have no : use of large jewels, and especially tiaras. : If they inherit these jewels, they will : probably put them under auction hammer : soon... So it would be better that Ingolf : and Elisabeth choose to bequeath their : jewels (at least the biggest ones, notably : the tiaras) to the main line of the Royal : family. : : Or could they decide to give the historic : jewels in their possession to the : State-owned Crown Jewels collection (the one : kept at Rosenborg Castle) - possibly as a : compensation for the death duties the three : Rosenborg sisters (or whatever other heir) : would have to pay if they inherited the : jewels? That would be a good deal... : : Of course, the minor jewels (pendants, : brooches...) could be bequeathed to the : three Rosenborg sisters, as such jewels can : be worn by a lady in social circumstances, : even in non-royal ones. : : Queen Alexandrine's fringe tiara, worn by : Countess Sussie (on the first picture, she : also wears the small sapphire pendant as : necklace clasp): : : : : : :
