Did you know that the Norwegian royal family has British royal ancestry? A British princess who married a Danish prince and became the first queen of an independent Kingdom of Norway, Queen Maud, possessed a significant collection of Edwardian-era jewelry, much of which remains in the Norwegian royal vaults to this day.
In this video, we will delve into the impressive tiaras from Queen Maud’s collection, which also include important jewels from the British royal family’s heritage.

Queen Maud of Wales was a notable figure in the history of the Norwegian monarchy. Born in London in 1869 to British King Edward VII and Alexandra of Denmark, her destiny intertwined with that of Norway when she became its first queen after the dissolution of the union with Sweden. Amid her reign, Queen Maud dazzled not only with her benevolence but also with her exquisite taste in attire, often bedecked in resplendent tiaras that adorned her with unmatched elegance.
The majority of jewelry once owned by Queen Maud faced a complex destiny. Several decades passed before these pieces reemerged in public. I will now share a brief background, which will be essential as we delve into how the Queen’s jewels were divided.
Queen Maud frequently cherished returning to her British homeland to visit relatives. In the autumn of 1938, Maud once again traveled to the United Kingdom. The Queen was battling cancer and received medical treatment. However, following surgery in the early weeks of November, Maud’s health deteriorated, leading to her demise from heart failure. It was later revealed that Maud had taken a significant portion of her jewelry with her, intending to have it cleaned. 
The jewels, however, were not returned to Norway with the Queen’s body.
In hindsight, this became one of the more fortuitous outcomes, as two years later, the jewels had still not been returned to Norway, rendering them inaccessible during the country’s occupation by German forces. Consequently, King Haakon decided that Maud’s jewels should remain in a secret location in Britain for the time being.
It was not until 1953 that the jewels were repatriated to Norway by Maud’s son and daughter-in-law, Crown Prince Olav and Crown Princess Märtha, who brought them back following the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. However, in 1954, Märtha unexpectedly passed away, and the jewels remained in storage for many years until the Norwegian royal jewel collection was divided following the wedding of the then-Crown Prince Harald in 1968.
Queen Maud’s Pearl Tiara
Queen Maud's Pearl and Diamond Tiara, a wedding gift from her parents, King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, for her marriage to Prince Carl of Denmark in 1896. Featuring a diamond base adorned with pearls, it became a staple of Queen Maud's attire after she became Queen of Norway in 1905.
The front part of the tiara can be removed, and the rest can be worn in a lower version.
In 1968, the tiara passed to Queen Sonja upon her marriage to Crown Prince Harald. However, in 1995, it was stolen in an armed robbery at Garrard in London, where it was being repaired. Despite efforts to recover it, the original tiara was never found.

To compensate for the loss, Garrard crafted a replica for Queen Sonja, although it retains the name "Queen Maud's Tiara." This tiara is cherished within the royal family and has two versions: the original full version and a smaller one created by rearranging the pearls, worn by Princess Märtha Louise and Crown Princess Mette-Marit on special occasions.
The Maltese Circlet
Featuring Diamond Fleur-de-Lys and Maltese Crosses on top of a Diamond Base, the Diamond Circlet was made by Garrard for Queen Alexandra in 1910. Originally intended as a crown for Queen Alexandra to wear during her widowhood, it likely served as a replacement for the George IV State Diadem. Notably, it was designed to house the renowned Cullinan VI Diamond.
Upon Queen Alexandra's passing in 1925, the Diamond Circlet, without the Cullinan VI, passed into the possession of her daughter, Queen Maud of Norway.
Queen Maud made notable alterations to the tiara, removing the fleur-de-lys to differentiate it from its British counterpart. She frequently adorned herself with the tiara, even bringing it to the UK for King George VI's coronation. However, tragically, upon her unexpected demise in 1938, the tiara remained in Britain and was not returned to Norway until 1953.
Today, Queen Sonja, Queen Maud's granddaughter-in-law, proudly wears the tiara. Often, she opts to wear it without the crosses, though occasionally, she adds them.
Queen Maud’s Diamond Tiara
This diamond tiara, much like Maud's Pearl and Diamond Tiara, was a wedding gift when she married Prince Carl of Denmark in 1896 (who later became King Haakon VII of Norway). A sizable piece, it features an intricate design with two rows of diamonds on a collet base and diamond uprights on top. Presented to the bride by "Lady and Gentlemen Friends."
Eventually, the tiara came into the possession of Princess Ragnhild, Maud's granddaughter and the oldest child of King Olav V and Crown Princess Märtha. 
Ragnhild, who married Erling Lorentzen in 1953 and spent much of her life in Brazil, lived a relatively private life and attended royal events infrequently. 
After her death in 2012, Queen Maud’s Diamond Tiara is one of the family heirlooms that is said to pass back into the collection of the main Royal Family, though it has remained unworn. 
Norwegian royal watchers are waiting for this grand tiara to reappear. But when will it happen?
Queen Maud’s Vifte Tiara
Translated from Norwegian, the “Vifte” Tiara, literally meaning “fan,” aptly matches its name in design. This distinct piece, significantly smaller than conventional crowns, is crafted from gold, silver, and diamonds, and can be adorned either in the hair or as a necklace. It was long presumed to have been commissioned by Queen Victoria in 1887 as a gift for her granddaughter’s coming of age.
A rare photograph depicts Queen Maud donning the tiara during the mourning period for Queen Victoria in 1901, leading some to speculate it was worn in remembrance of her grandmother. However, this interpretation has since been debunked.
Recent discussions on the Royal Jewels of the World Message Board have illuminated new insights regarding its provenance.
The tiara was actually bestowed upon Princess Maud for her wedding on July 22, 1896, a generous present from the Rothschild family.
The Vifte Tiara subsequently became part of Crown Prince Harald’s inheritance and was shortly worn by Crown Princess Sonja.
In 2001, the tiara was gifted to Mette-Marit Tjessem on her marriage to Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, with the piece worn as a necklace, which she also wore during a State Banquet in 2006. Remarkably, Crown Princess Mette-Marit has sported it as a tiara solely once, in 2017.
The Turquoise Circlet
In 1902, reports emerged in the British press highlighting King Edward VII’s presentation of a Turquoise Tiara to Queen Alexandra on her 58th birthday.
Though Queen Alexandra was observed on several occasions adorned in turquoise jewels, no public images of her wearing this particular tiara have surfaced.
Following Queen Alexandra’s passing in 1925, the tiara was bequeathed to her younger daughter, Queen Maud of Norway. Queen Maud was notably depicted wearing the Turquoise Tiara at the wedding gala of her son, Crown Prince Olav of Norway, and Princess Martha of Sweden in 1929. This tiara complemented Queen Maud’s extensive turquoise jewelry collection, much of which she received as wedding gifts.
Subsequently, the jewels were distributed between the King and his sisters, with Princess Astrid receiving Queen Alexandra’s Turquoise Circlet.
Princess Astrid began to showcase the Turquoise Tiara shortly thereafter, frequently coordinating it with items from Queen Maud’s turquoise collection.
These turquoise pieces have become staples in Princess Astrid’s gala jewelry collection. Notably, she donned them during Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s wedding in Oslo in August 2001. In February 2017, she wore them again for official portraits commemorating her 85th birthday.
Princess Astrid has stated that the tiara will be returned to the Norwegian royal vaults upon her passing, which I hope will be in the distant future.
