If so, then it was never owned or worn by Queen Alexandra.
It was commissioned by the Irish Guards and subsequently presented to Princess Mary, Princess Royal in 1961. I found that information in a book called Up the Micks! by James Wilson.
For when I posted about the history of the brooch and the tradition of presenting the shamrocks to the Irish Guards see https://mb.boardhost.com/historyroyaljewels/msg/1544072336.html
