Princess Astrid of Norway is Gone. Her Jewels Aren't!
Princess Astrid of Norway is gone. But the royal jewels she wore for decades are about to tell a very different story.
After the death of Princess Astrid at 94, attention is turning to one fascinating question: *what happens to her jewels now?* Some of Norway's most historic tiaras and royal heirlooms are connected to Astrid — but not all of them will follow the same path.
For decades, Princess Astrid quietly wore jewels connected to Queen Maud, Princess Märtha, Queen Alexandra and generations of Norwegian royalty. Now, some are expected to return to the royal collection, while others will remain with her family.
And one of her most recognizable jewels may survive her by passing into the next generation.
In this video, we reveal 7 of Princess Astrid of Norway's most important jewels, including the extraordinary Ruby Aigrette Tiara, the Diamond Wings Aigrette, the 956-diamond Vasa Tiara, the Turquoise Parure, the Gold Bandeau Tiara and Queen Maud's Order of Victoria and Albert bracelet.
