Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg

[Principessa]

If I am correct both Anna and hubby Manuel are well educated people. Manuel doing biomedical research or so.

I am a bit excited....if everything goes well I will be visisiting Schloss Berleburg today...

Yahoo, I've been there and enjoyed a nice and fun guided tour!

Ah, Anna with the world's ugliest tiara (at least before they sold it at auction, I believe).  I'm shocked that Anna is only forty.  She seems much older to me for some reason.  . She looks so much like Amber, Mosh's friend. 

Do you refer to the Bavarian Sunburst Tiara?
It was definitely a piece that needed for tiara hair (which Anna did not have when she wore it, and also as bridal tiara itvwas a miss, at least with this veil positioning),
but with the right hairdo, it was an interesting piece, imho ... like when Ursula wore it with that 60ies top bun do, 2nd from left pic:

It says here that Sebastian married a commoner so he and his children aren't in contention either...

Even with all those princes in the tree, they’re eventually going to run short if they can’t marry commoners.

That is the one!  Yes, with 60s hair, it might work, but on Anna and the woman on the right, it looks ridiculous. It's not a pretty design at all, IMO.  Of course, if someone wanted to give it to me, I'd happily accept it (and would head right to a jewelry designer for a redesign).  The diamonds themselves look very high quality.

Yes, it looks more like a family planning device than jewelry.

  Hot tea.  All over my computer.

That is exactly what that thing looks like.
