The thing I don't understand is why Queen Alexandra would have a copy made of the Regal Circlet if she already had exclusive use of it as queen. I think we need detailed pictures of Queen Alexandra wearing the piece in question to compare with a detailed picture of Queen Maud wearing the piece in question before we can say for sure they are the same piece. I think it is more likely that Queen Maud had the piece made to reassemble the Regal Circlet to remind her of her British roots. Also if the piece is the one worn by Queen Alexandra what happened to the fleur-de-lies.
