Why would they 'will it back'? It would mean to alienate their own children and grandchildren from valuable heirlooms, in order to give it to some super-wealthy cousins who already have a gigantic vault full of partly un-used jewels. As much as I'd like to see these tiaras worn, I don't think that they should go to the main line for free. And let's face it: the vaults at Buckingham Palace already hold more tiaras than they choose to wear. I don't see Charles or William spending money to buy some of the Gloucester heirlooms. The best we can hope for is that the most important jewels will end up in the Victoria and Albert Museum one day.
The Gloucesters have already auctioned of quite a few objects.
The alleged issue was just the Duke and Duchess of Kent, they sold a valuable sapphire set from Queen Mary. Plus some jewels were sold to pay off Princess Marina’s death duties. But Prince Michael has retained a good selection of jewels. The jewels were split between the siblings.
The Princely families of Monaco and Liechtenstein can easily buy them without an issue. But neither will do so especially not Liechtenstein.
Well the Grimaldis don’t own much historic jewels and more importantly Charlene doesn’t really wear that much jewellery apart from modern ones or loaned ones. Plus I don’t think most of the jewels the Grimaldis own suit her. But a time will come for an auction of jewels for sale.
