These items should have stayed within the Belgium Royal Family. Such a shame.

I don't think anyone has worn them since Fabiola passed away. I agree it's a shame, but Fabiola's big guns jewels remain in the family.

It may have been Fabiola's wish that certain jewels be sold and the money given to named charities. That's just a guess on my part.

She left a lot of her personal jewels to her Spanish relatives. At the time there was a bit of a furor about it. I don't believe there was any intention of "selling for charity" in her bequest, IIRC. And now the family is selling the jewels any way.
