The buyer has not made himself/herself known yet.
Yes, it's sad to see such significant heirlooms leave the family but I suppose if this tiara was just going to sit in a box at the bank &
never be used it is understandable that they decided to sell.
Queen Alexandrine chose to divide her private jewels between her sons and not leave them to the family Foundation which would have ensured their future use by the DRF.
"Is it known who the buyer(s) is? It is a shame to see family pieces go. The tiara would've made a wonderful birthday present for either Princess Josephine or big sister Isabella.
The three Rosenborg-sisters sold Queen Alexandra's saphire tiara for 2 million Danish Kroner. It was given to their grandmother, Hereditary Princess Caroline Mathilde in 1933.
