    Thank you very much Stefan. So glad to know that!

    There's the importance of a reliable source, I've read sometime ago (don't remember where exactly) that Queen Maud had left the diamond tiara to her eldest grandaughter (and the turquoises to Pss Astrid).
    I am very glad to know that those historical pieces will go back to the main line.

    : where shared among the 3 siblings. and
    : apparently they are only on loan for life to
    : Princesses Astrid and Ragnhild and those

    : Apart from Queen Maud's diamond tiara (see
    : my
    : first post on this thread for the Pss
    : wearing it), that was a wedding gift to the
    : then Pss Maud of Wales, Pss Ragnhild also
    : wore the Boucheron tiara from Pss Ingeborg.
    : So she received a tiara from each of her
    : grandmothers.

    : I do not wish to be rude at this point as to
    : inquire what will happen to this pieces,
    : after all the princess isn't eaven
    : burried... But I am of course very curious
    : as if they will return to the royal family,
    : or if the king would buy them back in case
    : the Pss descend decides to sell it (not that
    : I think they would need any cash flow, as
    : far as I know they are very wealthy).
    : At least Queen Maud's diamond tiara should
    : return to the main line, it is an historical
    : piece, a favourite of the first consort
    : queen of the present dinasty.
    : On the other hand Queen Maud left ir to her
    : beloved oldest granddaughter, so perhaps she
    : wanted it to go to Pss Ragnhild's descend...
    : I will continue to follow Trond's blog, and
    : wait for some acurate information on this
    : matter.

    : Mr Erling Sven Lorentzen himself did not
    : score
    : high in the royal or noble deparment, so the
    : Princess had little ground for complaining.
    :
    : Of course Mr Lorentzen (from Řivind
    : Lorentzen Rederi) or Mr Ferner (from Ferner
    : Jacobsen AS) were from a total different
    : category as Ari and Mette-Marit, moneywise.
    :
    : I have never seen Princess Ragnhilds as a
    : very glamorous or jewel-loving lady anyway.
    : Her collection will not be thát large, I
    : expect.
