History of Famous Jewels and Collections: Family tradition

That is quite interesting, as I believe the current Duchess wore the Massin tiara on her wedding day which the Duke gave to the nation in lieu of inheritance tax.

I wonder does the note imply that the Fringe tiara is also owned by the state?

The Earl of Southesk, the eldest son and Heir of the Duke and Duchess of Fife, married Camille Ascoli today, and a follower of mine reported that she wore the Fife Fringe Tiara , which was off display at Kensington Palace yesterday, with a note left explaining that it was to be worn 'as per family tradition'. Sadly we have not gotten any pictures of the wedding yet, but I'm really excited to see the Tiara being worn!
