I don't think it is an exact match with Princess Astrid's aigrette, but the size and how it is mounted and worn looks very similar.

Is it more likely that the Princesses borrowed the wings from Alexandra, or was is several similar diamond wings in the PoW' family in the 1890s?
Two photos from rct.uk, dated between 1890-1900:
