If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
So, can we say that all these piece have been listed for the auction, but were pulled out because they were purchased before the auction happened?

No most of those were sold at the auction so I think they had representatives bidding for them for the desired pieces in the actual auction!

almost all the pieces I mentioned were sold for less than 10k-15k which is a modest sum when you take into account that two or three evening gowns any of these ladies might purchase could be around the same amount so I don’t think they felt that it’s too expensive to disclose the price they bought it for, on the other hand the Duchess of Brabant 18th birthday tiara was discreetly purchased probably from the previous owner directly or from jewelry shop as the price for it I assume is way higher than the other pieces I mentioned!
 
When a Royal buys jewels at Auctions , it is always annouced after it. No bids are possible.

Really? Not sure if all auction houses follow that. I suspect most auction houses would be very discrete and not announce the identity of the purchaser unless the royal specifically consented to it.
