Seeing all these old photos of Princess Viggo's jewels here - I wanted to share some thoughts with you that I have about her spiked tiara(s).

This tiara:



The story goes that it now worn by Countess Karin of Rosenborg (ex wife of Count Christian of Rosenborg (not the one married to Countess Anne Dorte)).

But to me this have never added up. To me the tiara worn by Countess Karin clearly looks different. Here is a good photo of the one Countess Karin wears. And a photo of Princess Viggo wearing the same as Countess Karin wears:

To me there is no doubt that the tiara worn by Princess Viggo, Queen Anne and Countess Karin is the same.

But back to me one Princess Viggo wears in the first photo of my post. Because what if Princess Viggo had two fairly similar tiaras. And the one in my first photo perhaps was containing paste stones. Pure speculation on my part. https://www.tiara-mania.com/2022/03/princess-viggo-denmark-diamond-spike-tiara.html

And this second spiked tiara - perhaps with paste stones - might have gone to another branch of the Rosenborg family? If you follow the link to tiara mania's website and scroll down, I am pretty this second tiara (the first in my post) is the one worn by Princess Viggo - seen on the website - and by Countess Jane and Countess Jutta on the website.

The fact that this tiara is hardly worn today - is what leads me to believe it could be set with paste stones.

What do you think?

I can confirm that there are two different spiked tiaras: One worn by Countess Karin of Rosenborg, and another one that has been worn by the two wives of Count Axel of Rosenborg (Jane and Jutta). Both tiaras have belonged to Princess Viggo.
