Hi all.
There have been a few well noted robberies over the years. The list is not exhaustive but it is quite sizeable.
1. Duchess of Windsor from the Dudleys in 1946. Apparently it was quite controversial with some thinking it was an inside job.
2. Norwegian pearl and diamond tiara. Stolen on route for cleaning or repair. Replica provided and currently used by Queen Sonja. Circa 1995.
3. Princess Christina of Sweden had jewells stolen by a resident of her household. A tiara was thrown of a bridge and not recovered if my memory is correct. Circa 2012.
4. 2019 Swedish crown jewels or regalia stolen.
5. Portland tiara UK.
6. Luxembourg jewells stolen. Details not released but believed to be mainly or entirely private from the Grand Duchess.
7. Recent theft in Dresden.
In adddition of course stores have been targeted but majnly focused on royal jewels. Please feel free to ad to the list or correct info if I have made an error.
