I agree with Janet. Some sections of the press would have had a field day if either the Queen or the Prince of Wales had purchased the tiara.

When King George V gave Queen Victoria's sapphire parure to Mary, Princess Royal as a wedding gift, it would have been with full knowledge that it was leaving the main line of the royal family.
