Although Princess Alexandra and her mother did an official tour of South America in the earlier months of 1959 (February-March 1959) neither the press or the photo agencies appear to have images of Princess Alexandra wearing the floral elements arranged as a bandeau. And, importantly, for the long Australian tour in late 1959, Princess Alexandra was not photographed wearing the arrangement - for that trip there are a lot of photos of each of the major events, so I doubt if somehow we have overlooked a photo.
The first pictures I have found of the Flower Tiara are from October 1960, when Princess Alexandra made a big tour to give Independence to Nigeria. Maybe the Tiara was created for that?
