Thank you very much for the pictures, Nellie , what a pre Christmas treat! I like the way Mary wore - had to wear as we know now - the tiara like a halo. Sadly that is no longer possible. To my mind it would be nice if she had the upper gold wire of the tiara frame covered with brown velvet. Then it would not show the way it does now.
