Started to watch will finish it later. Even though I cannot understand the language the video gives you a better close up and appreciation of the pieces which are truly beautiful especially the Braganza tiara.
Thanks,
Dave.
Wonderful! Wonderful! -- even though I cannot understand Swedish! If I could watch it in Australia, I hope others in different parts of the world can also.
Now could I impose on those who understand Swedish to tell us all the interesting facts, please?
I was fascinated by the information in English that the sapphires had originally been given to Augusta, the wife of Napoleon's step-son in 1811. What excitement the historian must have felt when she found the letter!
One of the things which caught my attention was how the Braganza tiara moves. In a previous program Queen Silvia mentioned that. Seeing how it does move was very interesting.
Thank you Benny for the link!
