Greek Royal Jewels of the Past

[An Ard Ri]

Yes that one. It’s very strange that after she passed, a lot of jewels were sold and I wonder what happened to her Louis-Blanc Monaco casino and real estate wealth. Princess Marie Bonaparte, her mother also owned Queen Olga’s pearl brooch which was sold as well

I found this article on the Art Deco earrings of Princess Eugenie of Greece,its current whereabouts are also unknown!

Queen Sophia’s Diamond Circle Tiara
This tiara is owned by Princess Irene and the last time she wore it was on Spain's state visit to the United Kingdom in 1986. Infanta Elena wore this tiara once.

Is this tiara still owned by Princess Irene?

Its fate is currently unknown, it may have been sold off or could be still with the Princess.
Sadly I do not think we will see Irene at a future tiara Gala.

I don't know if it is the correct place to post. It is related to the tiara worn by CP Marie-Chantal to the gala for Prince Christian 18th birthday.
A poster in Instagram said that this Tiara was sold years ago by Queen Frederika with the condition that if one of her grandkids was willing to buy again, then it should be possible. And MC bought it.
Can someone help about ? It is not very clear how this condition could be applied decades after.

This is the tiara

I don't know about that condition, it was widely believed to have been sold then reappeared a few years ago on MC head at some other Danish event, until then MC had worn a fringe tiara that was apparently bought for her daughter (so yes the family seem happy to buy tiaras and certainly have the means to). But, this is a great big tiara that would seem and odd choice IMO to buy when Anne Marie has a handful of quite significant tiaras already so personally I'm more inclined to believe it ha been around for a long time and Anne Marie jus has never worn it herself.

The pictures are much clearer than the previous time MC wore it and I have to say Im not sure I love it. Last time it looked quite chunky and heavily set whereas it seems now we can see it better than the circles are much thinner compared to the big diamonds in their centre and to me that looks a bit odd, especially in a few pics i saw where the three largest diamonds stand out from afar almost like headlights.

There's a new thread and an old thread on the Jewels of Crown Princess Pavlos Jewellery part 1&2

As Confidencial Monarchy has learned, the tiara of Princess Irene of Greece is part of the heritage of the Greek royal house, and specifically in due course it will be at the disposal of the heir to the throne of the royal family, Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece .

That is an interesting development if true. I wonder if Irene doesn't consider it her own personal property. Not to be harsh, but it seems a bit pointless to revert the tiara back to a deposed royal house instead of gifting it a reigning royal house. Especially since the Spaniards have been so accommodating. Leaves the question of what CP Pavlos will do with all these jewels. I don't see him selling it, money is not a problem, but then what of the next generation and so on.

That tiara hasn't been seen in decades and I think we'd have seen it worn by now by either the Crown Princess or her daughter.

I guess we will have to wait and see regarding that tiara.
I still believe that we will see it on a Spanish Royal as opposed to a Greek one.

Monarquia Confidencial is a website that lacks veracity, lately it publishes many hoaxes and incorrect information. I don't think they have any information about what Irene is going to do with her jewelry.

I think one has to wait and see. It seems the tiara is still in Princess Irene's position and would only be returned to the greek RF after her death.

And this is also that we haven't seen it worn by the spanish royals with the one exception of Infanta Elena wearing it once.

If Irene lent it to her niece Elena,I assume then that Princess Irene is the owner of the tiara and not the Greek RF ?

The Spanish RF are not that short of tiaras to have to ask the Greek RF for a loan.

A good tiara option for Theodora, Tatiana and Nina. They could alternate with the Antique Corsage

 

[An Ard Ri]

That's if it's left to the Greek RF and not the Spanish RF.
The Greek RF have plenty of tiaras at their behest.
It could end up on Leonor or Sofia!

I believe it could even be left to the Greek Royal Family, but Princess Irene must have a will and this must already be decided.
It's true that Princess Irene lent the tiara once to Infanta Elena, but then we never saw this tiara again, so anything is possible.
