The tiara that Queen Margrethe uses is very similar to the Lovers Knot owned by the BRF and last used by Diana. Am I right in thinking that this was part of the jewels inherited by Queen Alexandra?
No. The Cambridge Lovwers knot is a Copy Queen mary led made from a tiara that was originally owned by her grandmother the Duchess of Cambruidge and inherited by her daughte the Grand Duchess Augusta of Mecklenbrug-Strelitz, Queen Marys aunt.
The danish tiara comes from the netherlands. when Princess Luise of Prussia married Prince Frederick of the Netherlands she got the tiara as Wedding present. It was later inhe´rited by her daughter Louise married to King Karl XV of Sweden but as she died soon after her mother itr went to her daughter Lovisa who was married to King Frederik VIII. of Denmark.
Does anyone know anything about this necklace from Margrethe II's collection? I've only seen HM wearing it once more - during a State Banquet with the tiara now worn by Princess Marie.
Also the brooches - I know they were Queen Ingrid's at a time, but nothing more.
Thanks in advance,
Bobby

It is quite beautiful - it suits her better than some of her older, clunkier stuff! I think Maire should inherit it.
She died in December 1952 a half year before the the Constitution was changed so i think she was quiet aware that most likely Margrethe would succeed Frederik. And Ingrid died the same with her Jewels. She also divided among her daughters.Lets not forget that when Alexandrine died she knew that Knud would succeed Frederik, so she had good reason to give him a large share of her collection
Yes there is an beautiful diamond necklace a gift from one of the saudi Kings. Unfortunaley Queen Margrethe uses it not very often.
As for a foundation. I certainly hope they start one and then put also the rubies in it. They can then still be left for the exclusive use of the Crown Princess. And then they should try to buy Alexandras tiara back and also put it in the foundation.
True. I found it always sad that the Queen was never able to wear the rubies. First because they stayed with her mother and went direct to Frederik. I think they should share them so that Margrethe can borrow the rubies from mary and Mary wears the Baden-plamette tiara for example.There is no doubt that Her Majesty has favorites from her collection! I am in complete agreement about the rubies being placed in the collection and left for the use of the CP--but would that mean that the future Queen Mary would not get to wear them? I can't imagine her being willing to stop wearing them. But, it would be a lovely tradition if specific jewels were set aside for Crown Princesses of Denmark for their exclusive use.
And, yes--the Alexandrine tiara needs to be placed back where it belongs. Alexandra really should have returned it back as well.
It seems to me that Queen Margrethe didn't mind leting the tiara leave the main family - orthewise, why would she have given it as a gift to her younger son's wife? From that very moment, it became clear that Joachim 's descendants would inherit it and not Frederik's. I also would like to see Alexandra returning the tiara to her husband but I try to think matters in another way - even if Countess Alexandra has no use of the tiara ,she could simply not like the idea of Joachim new wife wearing "her" tiara, no matter how friendly was her divorce. Anyway I am personally conviced that she will not sell it waya - IMO the worst thing that could happen to this tiara is collect dust inside a velvet box for the next two decades approximatelyAnd, yes--the Alexandrine tiara needs to be placed back where it belongs. Alexandra really should have returned it back as well.
The only time she wore it was at her Wedding Day.one quastion
the Khedive tiara didn´t the tiara go to anne-marie?
