Kathleen Bulkeley Duchess of Wellington Corsage Posted by Dave on September 12, 2019, 7:32 am Does the corsage in the below picture not look like it could be a tiara sown onto the Duchesses bodice? http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw185198/Kathleen-Emily-Bulkeley-ne-Williams-Duchess-of-Wellington Regards, Dave.

Re: Kathleen Bulkeley Duchess of Wellington Corsage Posted by Beth on September 12, 2019, 9:15 am, in reply to "Kathleen Bulkeley Duchess of Wellington Corsage" The Duchess' corsage ornament certainly looks as if it could be mounted on a frame and worn as a tiara. I have never collected much information on the Wellington jewels so I don't know if it ever was worn as a tiara. Below are photos of the second Wellington tiara which has traditionally been worn by the wife of the heir (as well as the Duchesses) The then Duchess of Wellington at the 1937 coronation.
