Thanks Maridje. I wonder deeply if this headpiece is still with the present Gloucester Dukedom and if it is, why has it never been seen thereafter. I mean it is reported to be made of crystal but it could very well be an all diamond tiara. I wonder if anyone of our members may be able to maybe query with the present duke or duchess if the piece is yet in their possession. I mean the tiara does look like a substantial one and I am a bit baffled as to why it has never been discussed prior to now. I also wonder if the tiara came from her own buccleuch family seeing that the tiaras in that family are really outstanding and very heavy set, or did it come from the next possible contender QM?

Regards,

Dave.
