Perish the thought! 
However, it does seem like Queen Mary are more interested in jewels, both new (she has bought some significant pieces herself even) and historical pieces. Even though I am still not convinced about the changes made to the Ruby tiara, the other changes she made to the parure mean that she will be able to actually wear it more often and in different constallations.
So I think that we don't have to "worry" about Queen Mary. Not so sure about her husband though and the way the monarchy is headed when it comes to keeping up the tradition of glittering celebrations of those special occasions in the life of the Royal Family that we were used to under the reign of Queen Margrethe.

I do not hope history will repeat itself and we will see Queen Mary tone down her use of jewellery like Queen Alexandrine did. Previous Message
Great to see Queen Mary wearing (part of) the Danish pearl parure. Of course, it was quite expected, and so not much of a surprise, that she now wears the jewels reserved for the Queen, but the pearl drop tiara really suits her.
I am a bit disappointed that she did not wear the necklace and the corsage brooch of the parure, she would have looked splendidly regal with the full parure - yet without overshadowing Queen Sonja and her equally-splendid Bernadotte emeralds (and her almost as much historic salmon dress! )
