History of Famous Jewels and Collections: Re: Possible emerald tiara in Queen Elizabeth's keep rumored to be 1st choice for Duchess of Sussexs Wed

Ahh yes Olga is her name, I couldn't remember her name but i did see a program where she was one of its participants some years ago. And yes she would be in a direct position to know of the whereabouts of maybe some of her grandmother's jewels.

Lady C is extremely knowledgeable about all things aristocratic and i trust her know how. Thanks for your kind response Johnathan.

Regards,

Dave.

Dear Dave,

The Emerald Tiara given to the Grand Duchess Xenia by her Father seems to be in the nature of a Coronet, if we are talking about the same item ?

I can see why Queen Mary never wore it [in public] since her own Delhi Durbar tiara is not dis-similar, is rather more beautiful, and because had close personal associations to Mary, both as Queen-Empress of India, and because its use of her [family] Cambridge Emeralds.

Presumably the descendant [resident in England] is Princess Olga Romanoff, who may well 'be in a position' to know details of the fate of her Grandmothers Jewels, and which of them are now in the possession of her third Cousin, HM King Charles 111

Best regards
