It is often mentioned that Queen Victoria also inherited her mother's fringe tiara later given to Duchess of Connaught and worn on her wedding day as a necklace. I find it rather odd that the duchess of Kent wasnt seen in a proper tiara that she possessed and instead relied on this cobbled together headpiece.
Do we know what other jewels (if any) were inherited by the Duchess of Kent's children from her first marriage?? Her son had predeceased her but she had a grandson who was the reigning prince of Leiningen. Plus her older daughter princess Feodora of Hohenlohe-Langenburg may also have inherited some jewels. Was the Duchess of Kent's will public??
