I note the text for RCIN 2808304 - which is a photo of Queen Mary for the Opening of Parliament 6 February 1911 - states that Queen Mary is wearing Queen Victoria’s Koh-i-noor diadem.
I would say - yes and no.
I have always believed Queen Mary wore Queen Victoria’s Regal Circlet on that occasion - but not with the alternate elements for mounting the Koh-i-noor - see start of this thread.
But it would seem that the RCIN 2808304 description acknowledges the diadem (Regal Circlet) is connected to the Koh-i-noor.
