History of Famous Jewels and Collections: It would likely have caused a huge scandal

had the Queen or Prince of Wales purchased a tiara costing £5 million, the amount that needed to be raised to prevent the tiara being sold abroad.

Queen Mary was the one responsible for it leaving the main royal line as she gave it as a wedding gift to her daughter.

Thanks RDavid, you know every time I see this tiara/ coronet it looks more and more beautiful. I'm still very shocked that it was not acquired by the PoW or his mother the Queen seeing that it was so significant to QV. I'm almost sure that had QM been around she would have gone after it.

Regards,

Dave.

I saw this video on the Instagram page of @britainsmonarchy that is new to me! It really shows the flexibility of the petite coronet... such an extraordinary piece. (The video is cut in 3 so swipe left)
