I've been researching the jewels of the late Princess Ragnhild to mark the 90th Anniversary of her birth tomorrow and came across her wearing what looks to be Queen Maud's Diamond Star Brooch, which is what I believe Queen Maud wore at her waist at the 1901 Opening of Parliament!

It could be the 'Diamond Sun' given to Princess Maud by the then Prince Charles, though that jewel looks more like the brooch worn in the family portrait below!
