I don't believe we have ever been told. But I believe the historic elements used in the modern tiara are probably treated as Royal Collection pieces by now. I would not expect them to be personal property of the Queen but it's difficult to know. They might have been considered part of the items Queen Victoria left to the crown, as alternate elements for one of the three tiaras, but it's difficult to know how these elements have been viewed down each of the generations. --Previous Message-- : Is the tiara owned by the countess, the earl, : the queen or is it part of the : crownproperties? : : : : --Previous Message-- : : Those four elements are unlikely to be taken : apart as they were made for a version of : Queen Victoria's Regal Circlet. :
