Last year, while the country suffered its deep recession, it was discovered that the King was elephant-hunting in Botswana in the company of Corinna Zu Sayn-Wittgenstein, a German princess with whom he has been romantically linked and whose name has also appeared in documents related to the Urdangarin investigation.
Another important noble item will be a pair of ruby-and-diamond pendant ear clips, dated 1921 and featuring perfectly matched deep-red Burmese rubies, that were owned by Princess Max Egon zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg (1892-1990).
