It was the interview with Rolf Harris. I have always believed that a bandeau displayed with the wedding gifts was the base to the tiara. Perhaps it was not. Even if so the base could have been stashed away in a box. --Previous Message-- : Nellie - if my memory is correct she discussed : this with Rolf Harris during a portrait : setting. When Queen Mary gave her the Tiara : she didn't give her the base and the base : was found in a box after Queen Mary passed : away. : : Someone did post the link - which I think : was from youtube.
