Hi everybody!
I've been following this board for a long time and I'm happy to finally be accepted!
Let me start by inviting you to play jewel detective! I have a copy of the will and estate inventory of the late princess Lilian of Sweden. (This is a public document in Sweden, but to my knowledge, the complete inventory has not been discussed in public.)
I made a translation of the Swedish original, and I hope it's correct.
I also include princess Lilian's will - the part that famously mentions two tiaras to princess Victoria. Unfortunately, the estate inventory only has one... Big mystery! All the jewels that are not listed in the will goes to Victoria, Carl Philip and Madeleine. Quite a lot!
However, we can now safely say that some of the extravagant earrings are fake. And Lilian's necklace with big pearls... well, not real.
Go ahead and look at pictures of Lilian, try to figure out the jewels! Do we have any nice pictures to start with? (Please feel free to post these documents on other boards.)
