We have already seen the Richmond tiara above so lets have a better look at the other tiaras shown on the peeresses in the clip posted by Dave,
The Marlborough Tiara:
Most recently worn by Camilla Thorpe when she married the Marquess of Blandford.
The Sutherland Tiara:
The Duchess of Sutherland wears this rather unusual looking tiara.
The Dufferin & Ava Shamrock Tiara:
The Dufferin and Ava Shamrock tiara is now on display at the V & A Museum in London. Having been lucky enough to see it in person recently I can tell you it glitters like MAD under the display lights!!!
The Bessborough Tiara:
This rather splendid tiara was worn by the Countess of Bessborough at the coronation.
The Countess also famously lent the tiara to Rose Kennedy during her time as wife of US Ambassador to the Court of St. James
In her autobiography "Times to Remember" Rose Kennedy recalled:
"My new and sympathetic friend Lady Bessborough lent me hers and it proved to be exactly right, most flattering and magnificent. (It fitted very well and had many brilliant diamonds including a gorgeous marquise diamond in the front. With a few temporary adjustments and arrangements it was perfect. I was so grateful to her for the thought. I remember my children - Bobby and Teddy as well as the girls - were extremely impressed.)"
