"[...] the poor queen - they plundered her as much as possible. She had received moonly beautiful jewellery from the king in connection with the poison meal as well as diamonds and furs at each birth of a royal child. On these occasions, the chaintiff also gave her daughter-in-law jewellery and on several occasions rings. Of these things, the queen was only allowed to keep the part. The Commission claimed that the rest belonged to the Crown. The queen has told me many times that it felt like her.
