More recently, Princess Anastasia wore the Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg Tiara for the Wedding Gala of Princess Sophie zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg and Count Constantin Fugger von Babenhausen at Schloss Wertheim in Kreuzwertheim in 2017.
It is also quite likely that the Tiara was worn by Hereditary Princess Stephanie for the Wedding Ball of Hereditary Prince Ludwig zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg and Helene von Pezold at Schloss Wertheim in Kreuzwertheim in 2023. There is no doubt we will continue to the the Tiara worn for years to come!
Yet another excellent blog entry! 🙂 This is a rather substantial tiara and I am happy to see that it has been able to sparkle on the head of the Princess also recently and like you I do hope to see it again in the future.
