She is a princess of Greece and Denmark and if the monarchy was to be restored in Greece her husband would be king. No issues with her wearing historic family jewels. She has the money to keep them and not be forced to sell them.
I do think however she needs a chat with crown princess Mary about finding the right jeweller to make the tiara fit her head. Now it's simply too big.
As for the inheritance. Im quite sure Queen Frederika left the tiara directly to Paul. Greek queens and princesses did not leave the main jewels to their daughters. Frederika left Sofia the small Prussian tiara and some other pendants and brooches, Irene was left the diamond and pearl necklace/tiara and the diamond circle necklace/tiara. The last one Irene loaned to the Infanta Elena for the wedding celebrations of the oldest Wurttemberg duchess in the 1980's. Neither the diamond and pearl necklace/tiara nor the diamond circle necklace/tiara have been seen for ages. Irene lives modestly and with her sister so might not need the money. I think we might see at least one of these pieces on the Infanta Sofia but i don't believe for a second that Frederika left the tiara to anyone else than her grandson Pavlos.
I am not sure this Whopper is a success on MC. It seems too big and overwhelming for her and to be honest I have a slight difficulty with non crowned royals wearing very ostentatious headgear or other grand jewels for that matter.
Crown Princess Marie Chantal wore this tiara for the first time in Denmark in 2012, for the 40th Anniversary of Queen Margrethe´s reign.
