I understand your reaction.
But in my opinion it has already left the Royal Family if the nieces are the current owners. They are not a part of the Royal Family.
I will be very sad to see this piece leave the Danish Royal Family. Such a real shame, as the Danish collection could really do with a historical Sapphira tiara to go with those amazing Sapphires of Queen Margrethe (necklace, earrings). It has been worn to so many occasions in not only the Danish Royal Family, but also at events abroad like the wedding of Frederik IX and Ingrid and also the 80th birthday celebration of King Gustav V in 1938 (of which I have just posted a piece on on my blog: https://regalevents913271078.wordpress.com/jubilees/sweden/gustav-v/1938-80th-birthday-of-king-gustav-v/#1938_Gustav_V_80th_Day1_Amaranther - Sorry, I just couldn't help myself )
I would be very interested to know more about the photo of Princess Elisabeth wearing it with turquoises as I had not previously seen the photo posted by Stig either. The Princess seldom wore it with the turquoises. In the photo she is seen wearing the Collar of the Order of the Elephant, so I presume it was taken at a New Year Banquet, but do anybody know in what year?
I also believe that Princess Caroline-Mathilde is wearing the tiara with turquoises in this photo:
Another photo of Princess Elisabeth wearing the tiara which I had not seen before appear on the article posted on the Royal Magazine website. Does anybody know from which event this photo was taken?
