Indeed…. It must be strange to see the jewels of Astrid worn by Lilian.

I think you might be right. She did not leave any of her big jewels to any of her Belgian grandchildren. Josephine Charlotte got access to the extensive Luxembourg collection so that may have been another reason why. Previous Message
The emerald tiara was given by Princess Ingeborg to Princess Martha when she left Norway as money need. I often think what was her Reaction to see Lilian wearing her Daughter's jewels , not a good one. Previous Message
It's a shame not some of princess Ingeborg's pieces went to Belgium. I think the Boucheron pearl tiara might have worked very well for the Belgian royal ladies. On the other hand, the Norwegians have managed to bring together a nice collection in only a few generations whereas the Belgians have let their quite impressive pieces go. Previous Message
Wonderfull!
Every time I see a part of the Norwegian jewels I could only think how amazing they would have worn on Fabiola, Paola, Mathilde, Elisabeth of Belgium…. Previous Message
