On a more serious note. It gives us insights into how Princess Marie Louise left things. Somehow I cannot imagine the tiara on Princess Alice. It would have swamped her petite features.
The quote also makes me wonder about the number of tiaras. Had Princess Alice's memory failed her? Did all the late night drinking addle Pope Hennessy's brain? Didn't Princess Alice think of all the head jewels she had as tiaras? For example could she have considered the Iveagh tiara as a comb? The one which can be worn as a necklace simply as a necklace etc? But what of the others?
