This tiara was originally owned by the Viscount Clive and was sold in Switzerland a few years ago. Now it's in the Albion Art Collection.

These pictures of Queen Louise are lovely! Thank you for posting them!

Wow! He looks a lot like his mother! Thank you for posting.

I have once seen the catalogue of this exhibition at the library and I got the impression that the pearl necklace was owned by a Parisian jeweller or collector, Patrick Mauboussin? Here is my very bad picture: http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af101/HMReginascan/Swedish%20Jewels/DSC01035.jpg

I have a note saying that this tiara belonged to the Croÿ-family. Remember that there is a difference between being a Belgian Princess and being a Princess of Belgium... The latter sounds better when selling a tiara, better provenance, higher price. I think there are several other Princely...

Carina made a very similar interview with the Swedish mag Svensk Damtidning just before christmas. It was pretty much the same questions and answers although it was made by their own reporter, who posed for photographs with Carina in one of the grand rooms at Schloss Berleburg.

Wedding in Sweden :onering: Hereditary Prince Hubertus and his wife Kelly attended the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria and her Prince Daniel last Saturday. Princess Kelly was wearing a tiara once worn by Duchess Viktoria Adelheid http://multimedia.ctk.cz/storage/foto/2010/06/19/3489132/5.jpeg

Prince Manuel and Princess Anna :previous: Here are two pictures of Manuel and Anna, rather small and with water marks I'm afraid. The first pic is from the concert the evening before the actual wedding. Pss Anna is wearing the beautiful amethysts previously worn by her mother-in-law...

Actually, according to Bjarne's wonderful book, this brooch was never owned by Crown Princess Margareta. It was made as a wedding gift to Ingrid from her father, King Gustaf VI Adolf (then still Crown Prince), and he chose the Daisy motif as a reference to the late Crown Princess Margareta. This...

Theodora and Peter What about Princess Theodora of Greece and Hereditary Prince Peter of Yugoslavia? Both are orthodox, and with their families they would always be invited to big royal events! :wub:

There is a more recent Gaston in the family, Madame's grandfather Gaston d'Orléans, who was married to the Princess Imperial Isabel of Brazil. I know nothing about him, but he sounds like a better namesake than that 17th Century Duke!

Thank you for the news and the links. Did little Umberto recieve any other names?

Vanity Fair has an article called "Fortune's children", about the next generation from rich and/or noble families like Trump, Kennedy, Spencer-Churchill, Casiraghi and Santo Domingo. It also features Princess Elisabeth of Thurn & Taxis, picture 31, as well as her cousin Alexander Flick, picture...

Yes, it says on preussen.de that she moved in to an apartment in the west wing of the castle in the late 1950s. Royal Musings has the same information, but in english. There are also some pictures of the Princess. Royal Musings: Princess Luise of Prussia has died

Picture of Umberto! monarchia.it has released the first picture of Prince Umberto. Isn't he cute! :wub: It's hard to tell from one pic, but he looks like a healthy little boy! I'm so happy everything went well for Olga and her son...

Queen Alexandrine's fringe tiara is owned by her grandson, Count Ingolf of Rosenborg. Benedikte's fringe is from the Berleburgs, I think from Prince Richard's grandmother. I have also read that Benedikte's son owns a Berleburg tiara, the one his girlfriend Carina wore at Prince Joachim's...

His given name is Daniel, Olof is his second, or middle, name, even if it is placed before the given name. I don't know if it is possible to place the given name second in other languages/countries, but it is in Sweden for certain. Both my parents have their given names placed after their other...

According to the Theroff files, Mariano Hugo is born 1955 and is therefore four years older than his wife. Windisch-Grätz

I read in a book about Margaretha, called Darling Daisy, that she was covered with the veil before she was buried. I think it was during some sort of lit-de-parade. She was buried in her wedding dress, all in accordance with her own wishes. The veil was later given to Princess Ingrid, who wore...

If I may contribute: :smile: In most cases I would translate hur som helst into anyway, but here I would use in any case: "In any case, they are already living together, in Nikolaos's apartment in Chelsea." Apart from the tricky phrase your translation was really good, Anna! :clap:

The Crown Princess looked very elegant at the theatre. Love her hair!

This was the first edition of the program with its new team and host. SVT had some info last year about the new people and some changes they wanted to make, including making more material available at their site, SVT Play. I have really enjoyed the online resources, but the "real" program was...

Maybe the bracelet was a gift from a child? Perhaps one of her Australian nieces made it for her? If that is the case, I think it was very sweet of Mary to wear it in public for everyone to see.

I only seem to comment on this thread when Clotilde has done something with her hair.. I'm really not that shallow!! But I totally agree with Iceflower; Clotilde does look younger and better with darker hair! She also appears much healthier and fresher, since the blonde colour made her look so...

How big the children are! I think both boys will be very handsome young men sometime soon. Maria Francisca looks a lot like her mother, I think.
