An impressive find Ursula and Laura and thanks Beth for putting same on blast. I wonder if this mystery tiara did not come from Queen Mary as well? It looks close to a bandeau tiara and as we all know QM had at least 3 in her collection. Could this be the one we spoke of earlier on QM which we could not identify?

Regards,

Dave.

Congratulations to Ursula and Laura for solving the puzzle of the tiara the Duke of Kent gave to Princess Marina for their wedding. There have been numerous discussions about the tiara (which had an interchangeable centre) over a long period of time.

Now Ursula has published the findings.

Below are two additional photos which I found some time ago but never got around to posting.

I think that Princess Marina may have worn the tiara to the Hampden House Ball (a coronation ball) in 1937 -- but I am not 100% sure. The tiara definitely isn't the City of London fringe tiara or the diamond and pearl snake tiara.

What do others think?
