I'm trying to think of what kind of brooch it is. Is it made to look like a ribbon?
I wonder about the date of the pic when the Princess wears it in her hat. If after her wedding we can be almost sure that it was her personal property and not a loan from her mother.
Great find! I'd never have noticed it on Princess Helen had you not pointed it out.

Hello,
I think the Princess is wearing at least at two occasions a brooch that belonged to her grand mother, Princess Helen of Greece.
Princess Helen wearing it on her corsage in 1934
Princess Alexandra wore it on her lapel in 1961

I've never seen Marina, Duchess of Kent with that brooch.
Maybe a direct bequest from Helen to her granddaughter Alexandra ?
I'm curious to know the color of the stones...
