"Thursday, May 25
P.E. took me to her room to tidy and showed me some of her [18th] birthday presents — a beautiful diamond and sapphire bracelet from the King, a pin-on watch in diamonds and rubies, which I adored, from the Beauforts and Cambridges — she also told me Queen Mary gave her a bracelet and necklace, the King of Norway a dressing case and she had a small diamond tiara too"

Which tiara did Queen Elizabeth II receive as an 18th birthday gift. I have my theory is that it was the mystery tiara Princess Margaret wore to Queen Juliana's enthronement in 1948 but wonder if anyone has any views?
