Hello,

Recently, Princess Alexandra wore during the State visit to UK of President Trump, her stunning diamond and pearl drop brooch.

This beauty was worn a lot during the 60s but strangely, no photographic evidence of it being worn for decades until the 2006 Diplomatic Reception at Buckingham Palace.

I found that very interesting Instagram Page that linked the brooch to Empress Maria Alexandrovna, Princess Alexandra great great Grandmother :

That hypothesis is totally new to me.

Both brooches look very similar :



What do others think ?

If the Imperial provenance is real, what a fabulous treasure !!!
