Unlike Princess Alice she does not appear to wear the jewel as a brooch in the ordinary way. Prior to this instance I have only seen Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester wear it as a pendant for evening wear.
In contrast all the images I have of Alice, Duchess of Gloucester show her wearing it as a brooch, even when she wore it for evening events.
During the evening
During the day
Could it possibly be the brooch given by Queen Mary to Alice, Duchess of Gloucester for her wedding
