Thank you, Sarah, for the interesting link to that newspaper piece! And I appreciate your taking time to look for any information re: Kathleen's jewels.

: Here is a link to a newspaper article
: (10/26/1946) about the theft. In it,
: Kathleen is mistakenly identified as
: "the Marchioness of Hartington".
: It doesn't give details about the $40K of
: jewels stolen, but keep in mind that
: Kathleen did have jewelry of her own (some
: from her father, who had given her a
: sapphire watch, among other pieces).

: Kathleen stayed in London until her death in
: 1948. She lived in a house in Smith Square
: and was robbed of some of her jewels. Her
: former mother-in-law Duchess Mary
: subsequently lent her some jewels, but I
: don't know what sort.
:
: I'm thinking that there weren't many
: tiara-wearing occasions during those years

: I am wondering that since Kathleen Kennedy
: became the Marchioness of Hartington as the
: result of her marriage to the eldest son of
: the 10th Duke of Devonshire, was she known
: to have been photographed wearing a tiara
: belonging to that family? If not
: photographed, did she ever wear a tiara in
: public from the comments in any magazine or
: newspaper?? Does anyone know?

: magazines
: and books).
:
: Rose Kennedy was known to have worn at least
: three different tiaras. What I'd like to
: know is whether any of you could recognize
: these tiaras.
:
: Rose (shortly before King George VI and
: Queen Elizabeth arrived at the American
: Embassy; I believe she borrowed this tiara
: from a British noblewoman, didn't she? If
: so, who would that noblewoman be?)(This is
: in the late 1930s; at least Joe Jr and
: Kathleen were still alive at that point)
:
:
: This was the time when Kathleen, left, and
: Rosemary were presented to British society
: in London. Their mother Rose was wearing
: this tiara when she stood between them. What
: was this tiara?
:
: View of just this tiara alone....
:
:
: Rose wore this tiara at a Palm Beach,
: Florida, party (probably in the early 1970s)
: (where the Kennedy family vacation home was
: located).
