On 9th November 1841, Edward VII was born at Buckingham Palace.

Then titled The Duke of Cornwall, he was born to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. He was named Prince Albert Edward after his father, Prince Albert and his maternal grandfather, Prince Edward. He was known to the family as Bertie. Albert Edward was born first in line to the throne and heir apparent. At one-month-old, he was created Prince of Wales. Through his father, he was also a Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Duke of Saxony.

In 1863, The Prince of Wales married Princess Alexandra of Denmark at St George’s Chapel, Windsor. They had 6 children: Albert Victor, George (later George V), Louise, Victoria, Maud and Alexander (who died at one day old).

After the death of his mother, Edward ascended the throne in 1901 as Edward VII. Edward’s reign is widely regarded as a successful one, constitutionally, by reinventing how the Royal Family operated and in terms of diplomacy - Edward was fluent in French and German and famously charmed the previously hostile French on a State Visit in 1903. Edward VII reigned for nine years and was succeeded by his son, George, in 1910.

On your Princess Ingrid Alexandra’s Inheritance post, you placed Queen Maud’s Pearl Necklace Tiara under the lost category. Was that one also stolen or it just has not been seen since Queen Maud?

It just hasn’t been seen since Queen Maud wore it. Trond Norén Isaksen asked Princess Astrid about it when he was writing her biography and she said that she had never seen it before. There are several pieces of Queen Maud’s jewelry that haven’t been seen in a long time and the most likely answer is just that she had them made into other jewelry. Here she is wearing the pearl necklace tiara for her husband's coronation in 1906 along with diamond rivière necklace and a diamond choker necklace.

The more conspiracy theory type answer is that they were lost during WWII or are still sitting in the vault at Windsor Castle. Queen Maud went to the UK every year and took her jewels with her to be maintained at Garrard. She passed away during one of her visits in November 1938 and her jewelry was kept at Windsor Castle until the Norwegian royal family took it back in 1953. It was a bit of an odd situation because the NRF didn't really seem to care about getting the jewelry back. Her husband, King Haakon VII, was in the UK with her when she died but didn't take the jewelry with him. Then during WWII he was with the government in exile in London and made his return to Norway in 1945 but again he didn't take it with him. She had a considerable amount of jewelry not just a few pieces that could easily be forgotten. The jewelry wasn't retrieved until eight years later when Crown Prince Olav and Crown Princess Märtha picked it up while they were in the country for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. That's a long time to just leave them sitting in another family's vault.

The whole "American Princess" is very weird and doesn't even work.

Maud Windsor was the first member of the BRF to be born in America (also born in California) yet she isn't called an "American Princess"

Princess Leonore, the granddaughter of the King of Sweden was born here and I think she's going to school here, she doesn't get called that either.

We also literally had the last King of Thailand born here, the man wasn't called "American King 💅"

Trying to make fetch happen is kind of Meghan's thing.

Royal Tiaras Highlights: Queen’s Maud Pearl Tiara

Talk about a tiara with a crazy history!

The original tiara was a wedding gift to Queen Maud from her parents King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom, when she married Prince Carl of Denmark in 1896. It was most likely created by Garrard. Maud unexpectedly became the Queen of Norway when her husband was chosen as the country’s new monarch in 1905.

Maud was visiting England when she died unexpectedly in 1938, and she had the tiara with her. The piece was kept in a safe at Windsor Castle for fifteen years, during World War II. Maud’s son, King Olav V, was only able to reclaim the tiara - which he inherited from his mother - in 1953, when he visited England for the coronation of his cousin, Queen Elizabeth II.

King Olav V’s son, King Harald V, inherited the piece from his father. His wife, Queen Sonja, has worn the tiara with the large detachable central element and without it. In 1995, the piece was sent to Garrard in London to be cleaned, where it was stolen.

The tiara was valued at $312,000 at the time, but it was never recovered. Garrard made a perfect replica of the original tiara and that’s the piece the ladies of the Norwegian Royal Family can be seen wearing today.

Henry ‘Chips’ Channon: The Diaries (Vol. 1), 1918-38, entry for 28th May 1923

Monday 28th May — Fairlawne¹

A large Friday to Tuesday party at the Cazalets here to meet HRH Princess Alice² and Lord Athlone. I found Princess Alice delightful, human and pretty in an unostentatious way and even chic. I sat next to her two evenings at dinner and though we had great gossips she was always most kind. She told me only a sense of humour saves her. She is much the easiest of royalties and she rather prides herself on it; she has none of the stupidity nor dullness, yet has their dignity sweetness, and also their esprit de concierge³ . . . the royalties always know more gossip than anyone else. The Earl of Athlone is affable, polite, meticulous and rather and the German cavalry officer in his sense of detail for uniforms, orders, etc. He is less distinguished than his brother, Lord Cambridge⁴ and I am suspicious he minds more being degraded to the rank of a simple per. Mrs Cazalet⁵ always ‘bobs’ to him and refers to him as ‘Prince Algy’. I fancy he does not mind. But then of course we all know the story of how she ‘bobbed’ to the telephone on hearing a royal voice. The Athlones and the Cazalets are old, devoted friends. It is extraordinary Mrs C’s flair for royalty. Even the WC[s] are hung with the Queen’s photographs. On the Monday there was a pageant with 3,000 people looking on. It was opened by the Princess Alice, who enjoyed the three hours watching it in spite of the drizzle which threatened to ruin our costumes. The gardens were an excellent setting. I was Charles II, complete except for the spaniels, and I was much the most applauded. I looked as rakish and as imperious as possible . . . . Lady Irene Curzon⁶ was a corpulent Henrietta Maria. Baba Curzon and Lady Mary Thynne⁷ because of their great beauty were let off with selling programmes to the gaping proletariat.

1. An estate in west Kent, near Tonbridge, owned by the Cazalet family from 1880.

2. Princess Alice Mary Victoria Augusta Pauline (1883-1981), daughter of Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, youngest son of Queen Victoria; she was therefore the King’s cousin. She married in 1904 Prince Alexander of Teck (1874-1957), brother of the future Queen Mary; his title was anglicised in 1917 after the creation of the House of Windsor and he was granted the earldom of Athlone, after which his wife was known as Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone.

3. The spirit of a concierge; collecting gossip about all who pass through.

4. Adolphus Charles Alexander Albert Edward George Philip Louis Ladislaus, Duke of Teck (1868-1927). Like his brother, he relinquished his German titles in 1917 and, as brother of the Queen Consort, was created 1st Marquess of Cambridge. His younger brother was one rank below him in the peerage.

5. Maud Lucia Heron-Maxwell (1868-1952), married in 1893 William Marshall Cazalet (1865-1932); she was the mother of Victor Cazalet.

6. Mary Irene Curzon (1896-1966), known as Lady Irene Curzon after her father’s advancement to an earldom in 1911, was Lord Curzon’s eldest daughter. On his death in 1925 she inherited the barony of Ravensdale, and in 1958 was enabled to sit in the House of Lords by being granted a life peerage. She never married, declining a proposal from Victor Cazalet.

7. Lady Mary Beatrice Thynne (1903-74), third daughter of the 5th Marquess of Bath; she married in 1927 Charles Wilson (1904-74), 3rd Baron Nunburnholme.
