Chrome gave me no other translation than swedish !!
So what is the story behind the Berliner Diadem now known as the nine pronge tiara ?
Again a big thanks to Benny for posting the link!
I had a delightful time watching the program.
There was so much to learn (and as Benny said -- to laugh about in some of Chrome's translations)
One of the things which I hadn't realised previously was that it was the King's sisters who wanted Queen Silvia to wear the Connaught tiara for the festivities on the eve of her wedding, because in the eyes of the family the tiara is linked to their mother. What a charming gesture! Nor had I realised that the tiara came with the two necklace fittings, even though I had seen photos of Princess Madeline wearing the drops as a delicate necklace.
The history of the pink topaz suite is fascinating, not the least being that the stones themselves came from Brazil, not Russia as so many have asserted.
The story behind the 6 button tiara was equally interesting. I found the Crown Princess' description enormously helpful.
What were others' favourite sections?
