Even though the set is in the hands of the Swedish royal family today, its history begins in early nineteenth-century imperial Russia. In 1804, Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna married Carl Friedrich, the Hereditary Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. The marriage of the daughter of an emperor required important presents, and this pink topaz set was among them. Maria Pavlovnaâs father, Tsar Paul, presented her with the set as a wedding gift.
Crown Princess Margaret, born Princess of Connaught, was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Their marriage was described as a happy one, producing five children, including Ingrid, Queen of Denmark. She died in 1920.
The Crown Prince later remarried to another of Queen Victoriaâs descendants, Lady Louise Mountbatten (formerly Princess of Battenberg), the aunt of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

In 1849, Prince Frederick and Princess Louise helped to arrange a marriage between their eldest daughter, Princess Louise, and Crown Prince Charles of Sweden. They became King and Queen in 1859 and only had one surviving child - Louise, or âSessanâ. Sessan inherited the tiara from her mother.
Sessan married the Crown Prince of Denmarn in 1869 and took the tiara with her to Copenhagen. Frederik and Louise became Denmarkâs king and queen in 1906. In her hands, the tiara became a part of a married parure, matched up with other similar pieces of pearl and diamond jewelry to make a set. A large diamond brooch with five pearl pendants had been made to match the tiara at the time of its original creation, and Louise inherited the brooch along with the tiara.
All of Louiseâs successors â Queen Alexandrine, Queen Ingrid, and Queen Margrethe II â have worn the Pearl PoirĂ© Tiara and the accompanying pearl and diamond jewels. Since her accession to the throne in 1972, the tiara has been worn by Queen Margarethe II. She has worn the tiara for numerous portraits, and she often wears it for prominent events. The tiara is a bejeweled reminder of the monarchsâ shared family heritage, dating all the way back to its first owner, Princess Louise of the Netherlands.
Here's a brief overview of their wedding:

### Legacy:
- The children of Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf and Crown Princess Margaret played significant roles in European royalty, with descendants now found in the Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian royal families.
- Their lineage continues through their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, including the current King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.
The family of Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf and Crown Princess Margaret contributed to the continuity and expansion of the Swedish royal family, leaving a lasting legacy within European royalty.
Their first traceable ancestor was a Viking named Rollo in what's now Normandy, France. He was granted lands by theFrench King to prevent him from raiding France and to defend against other Viking raids.
In 1066, Rollo's great-great-grandson, Duke William of Normandy, sailed across the English Channel from France to England with an army of knights.
He fought and defeated King Harold, then crowned himself the king of England and became known to history as William the Conqueror.
He became the first English king from the line that still reigns today, which continues on down to King Charles. After his conquest, William took all the land and rented it out to his friends, who then subleased it to others.
So basically, to be royal, win a war, kill your enemies, declare your "kingdom," make up rules, and kill anyone who disagrees. COPIED
Alfonso's mother was MarĂa de las Mercedes, Princess of Asturias, but she died in childbirth in 1904. Alfonso XIII, King of Spain was unmarried at the time so as the Princess of the Asturias's eldest son, the young infante became heir-presumptive to the Spanish crown, though, unlike his mother, he never held the title of Prince of Asturias. He was heir-presumptive until the birth of his cousin, Alfonso in 1907, to Alfonso XIII and Queen Victoria Eugenie.
