Queen Margrethe II Jewellery

[pkl]

They have featured the tiara in both episodes, but not said anything about it (yet). I find it strange to feature that particular tiara that much, if the show is about the Queen's treasures... But it has indeed been in the Amalienborg museum as stated above, a loan from anonymous owner.

Hopefully we will see if they will tell anything about it in the last episode. It is in Koldinghus under the Alexandrine part of the exhibition. I saw another one claimed it was the tiara of the late Princess Elisabeth. That is not correct. The Alexandrine Bolin tiara was last owned by Count Christian and wife Anne Dorte of Rosenborg.

If you mean Christian, his future wife will most likely be the next Crown Princess of Dk. And if Mary follows the Danish tradition she (or rather Frederik as the owner) will likely hand over the (use of the) ruby parure to their daughter-in-law, like Lovisa did in 1898 when her son married Alexandrine, and Alexandrine did in 1935 when her son married Ingrid. Ingrid did not have a daughter-in-law, so the parure went to the next generation.
If the Queen really bought the sapphire tiara she probably did it with her 3 granddaughters in mind.

Thank you maria-olivia! Stig is a very knowledgeable poster with great connections within the Danish royal circles. He is certainly one of the more reliable sources out there.

Two brooches worn by QMII:

The first is a brooch presented to QMII at her 50th B-day by the Air Force. It is a landscape with clouds made from stones from Greenland, chalcedony and moonrock from the island of Bornholm. It was made in 1990 by Ole Kortzau.

The second brooch was presented to her at her 70th B-day in 2010, by the Guards Hussars Regiment.
It's made from 18 carats gold and Sterling silver. It depicts one of the round-castles from the Viking age that are located in DK with the outer rim of the brooch representing the circular ramparts as well as the crossing streets inside the castle. The cross is a Holy Anders Cross - a medieval local saintly person. In the center are sea-shells and they are used as a part of the decoration on the harnesses of the horses by the hussars.

I love the simple jewellery that Queen Margrethe wore in Oslo, Norway. These two pairs of earrings look modern which is a nice change from the old stuff that the royal ladies usually wear.
I don't admire, however, how Queen Margrethe has destroyed her teeth's colour by smoking so much.

The Queen seems to frequently choose this brooch for funerals, does anyone know if it has a special significance?

[lookupdown]

I think I read somewhere it was a brooch to honor one of her deceased grandmothers. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

[Archduchess Zelia]

No, you're correct. The brooch was made in 1917 in memory of her great-grandmother, Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia. She usually wears in for funerals – she also wore it at Henrik's funeral.

I've just read about the Alexandrine sapphire tiara. Can you imagine that being worn with the Danish sapphire demi-parure? It would match perfectly and I've always thought that set needed a tiara to finish it off. I wish they would confirm who owns it.

Just hope Mary gets to buy a sapphire and diamond tiara.
