The last years I have only seen her wearing the Rosen-tiara wich is quite a lovely tiara. Did she wore Ullens de Schooten tiaras during her wedding or Bernadotte tiaras? Her father must have inherit some jewels wich are now in her posession, isn't it?

I think the first or the second wife of princ Carl Bernadotte took most of the jewels when they got divorced. --Previous Message-- : The last years I have only seen her wearing : the Rosen-tiara wich is quite a lovely : tiara. : : Did she wore Ullens de Schooten tiaras : during her wedding or Bernadotte tiaras? : : Her father must have inherit some jewels : wich are now in her posession, isn't it? :

I have seen the granddaugther of Prince Carl, Astrid Ullens de Schooten with a tiara, but I do not know if its real, a loan, a Bernadotte one, a Ullens de Schooten one... Princess Kristine Bernadotte has also a tiara, kind of laurel leaf isn't it? Wich tiara did Countess Madeleine wore during her wedding and during the wedding of Harald & Sonja in Norway?

Princess Elsa Bernadotte

If his first wife, countess Elsa von Rosen, took most of the jewels, they must have gone to her daugther Madeleine isn't it?

For her first wedding, Countess Madeleine wore the bridal crown of her wedding church (see pic at the bottom), and in all other pics of her which I am aware of she was seen wearing this tiara which is indeed not a royal one, as far as I know: --Previous Message-- : I have seen the granddaugther of Prince Carl, : Astrid Ullens de Schooten with a tiara, but : I do not know if its real, a loan, a : Bernadotte one, a Ullens de Schooten one... : : Princess Kristine Bernadotte has also a : tiara, kind of laurel leaf isn't it? : : Wich tiara did Countess Madeleine wore : during her wedding and during the wedding of : Harald & Sonja in Norway? :

The jewelry which went ‘astray’, meaning to the Bernadotte side lines, is quite difficult to research... I think that the assumption is not too far-fetched that a lot got lost because it was sold after the various Princes lost their apanage along with their titles. At the 80th birthday gala for King Gustav V in 1938, Countess Elsa Bernadotte wore this - hard to tell if it's a central jewelry hair ornament / brooch on a fabric headband or a full tiara. Most likely the former, I'd say: --Previous Message-- : If his first wife, countess Elsa von Rosen, : took most of the jewels, they must have gone : to her daugther Madeleine isn't it? :

IIRC (read it somewhere) that Astrid's tiara was a bracelet, given to her by her grandfather. --Previous Message-- : I have seen the granddaugther of Prince Carl, : Astrid Ullens de Schooten with a tiara, but : I do not know if its real, a loan, a : Bernadotte one, a Ullens de Schooten one... : : Princess Kristine Bernadotte has also a : tiara, kind of laurel leaf isn't it? : : Wich tiara did Countess Madeleine wore : during her wedding and during the wedding of : Harald & Sonja in Norway? :
