I don’t think the Queen would have then said no you were supposed to have chosen ‘this one.
However I also would suspect there is quite a bit more in the vaults than we know about.
In the end like wi’th so many of these news pieces and attributations those who actually know what the Queen says in private do not speak of them.
This story is very strange !
I have read several reports about this "emerald tiara".
We do not know...maybe the Duchess of Sussex had seen a catalogue of all the tiaras available... We only know that she had the choice between several tiaras for her wedding... however it raises the question of the real extend of the collection. Indeed all the tiaras worn are known by us...

Most of the references I have to Queen Alexandra wearing emerald jewels can be identified either as the Indian emerald and pearl necklace which Queen Victoria gave her as a wedding gift or the Cartier collier resille. There are numerous reports (especially when she was Princess of Wales) which refer only to emerald ornaments. These may refer to bracelets and brooches, or they may indicate an emerald necklace which, so far, has not been identified. I find it impossible to determine what was worn when the press reports jewels only as "ornaments"
