The Hesse family is still very wealthy I believe and a tiara of that magnitude would not be auctioned unnoticed so unless it has been sold privately or broken up or was one of the items stolen by the Americans soldiers at the end of the War, it seems reasonable to assume it may still exist in the Hesse vault.

Maria Francesca - possibly my favourite tiara ever, apparently owned by the Qataris.

I hope that someone knows more! Thank you for the photos of Mafalda of Savoy, Janet. I had never seen that tiara previously.
