That would have been interesting to read, she has a very eclectic collection of Royal jewels at her disposal!
What an exciting find!
It does look like there are more than one orchide brooch out there similar to this. So it is not possible to establish 100% that the brooch worn by Princess Astrid is the one gifted to King Gustav V. But it is an interesting prospect.
Would it not be great to be able to read a memoire written by Princess Astrid where she reveal some more informatio about her jewels? She has experienced so much during her long life and she is a font of knowledge about the family history according to members of the Royal Family. It is probably just wishful thinking, but one is allowed to dream.
