Its always sad when there is an auction of jewels like the Mecklenburg tiara sale last year but I reckon at least we got to see it properly!
When you refer to some of Queen Luise's pearls being in Denmark, are you able to be more clear as to which piece you are referring to and how they got their? I presume via Lovise of Sweden, who was a descendant of Queen Luise?
I have often wondered about Empress Augusta's jewels, as the daughter of a Russian Grand Duchess I wonder if the emeralds came through her mother's Russian dowry/inheritance.
When you say trouble about the Empress Frederick's heritage, do you mean a dispute between her children? I have read that Princess Margaret inherited the grand castle in Hesse, so maybe the other children were jealous? I'd be fascinated to know.
Apologies for all the questions!
