I heard a story that Maria Sophia (The last Queen of Naples, and great aunt of Marie Jose)  warned Marie Jose not to be marry into the House of Savoy, otherwise she would end up unhappy. Any truth there ?

She was the most beautiful queen of Italy! She was also very popular in Italy!

Very lovely pictures ! Thanks !

I heard the news that the jewels of the House of Savoy whom Queen Marie Jose put in the safe during WWII was to be returned to the family. I wonder what pieces will be in there. Also I have seen pictures that she still have tiaras and necklaces even after the jewels was confescated by the Italian goverment. were they new ?

He was certainly good looking. I think the princes of the house of Savoy was one of the best looking in the 30's.
