Royal Jewels of the World Message Board: Re: H.M. Alexandra Queen of Yugoslavia and her mother Aspasia Manos’ Greek RF jewelry

Many historic pieces are still with Queen Annemarie and Princess Marie-Chantal. Think of the historic emerald set or the ruby parure. Marie-Chantal has Queen Sophie's large diamond tiara and Annemarie inherited from her mother the antique pearl tiara as well as the Khedive of Egypt tiara. Princess Alexia inherited her tiara from her maternal grandmother so for a non-reigning dynasty they have a very large collection.

Im not sure Aspasia or Alexandra inherited any jewels from the Greek Royal family. Queen Sophie saw to it that the got the style of HRH and the title of Princess of Greece but im not aware of her leaving them any jewels.

Alexandra as Queen of Yugoslavia got some of the jewels of her husband's family but they have hardly anything left. Her husband and his mother had to sell most of their jewels.

I may not answer , but I feel sorry such a lot of Greek jewels of the past are never seen anymore. Were its descendents in such of money need?

In the Greek RF in the time of King George I and Queen Olga, but also in the one of Constantine I and Queen Sophia, there weren’t jewels to pass from one Queen to the next one.
Queen Olga, the first of the Danish dynasty, in her will, she distributed her jewels among her children, according to the information I know:
- her emerald&diamond set to King Constantine I
- her ruby&diamond set to Prince Nicholas
- her pearl&diamond corsage brooch to Prince George
- her turquoise&diamond set to Prince Christopher

In the next generation, Queen Sophia of Greece’s children received the following:
- the emerald@diamond set to the future King George II
- her biggest diamond tiara to Prince Paul, the future King.
- her diamond fringe tiara to Princess Irene, then Duchess of Aosta.

Finally my question is, what jewelry did the late King Alexander I of Greece ‘s widow and daughter received as heritage, if ever?
