Well Nellie this tiara has been puzzling me for quite some time. Apart from Pss Brigitta I've never seen any other royal lady wearing it.
When I found this portrait of the Queen of Portugal (ancestor to Pss Brigitta's husband) it hit me that her tiara looked indeed very similar, and this is not a very usual tiara design.
I am searching for information on the inheritance of Infanta Antónia (her mother the Queen died when she was very young) and her wedding gifts, that would clear things out. It's only natural that she would inherit jewels from her mother, or be giffted some when she married the prince of Hohenzollern, and took them to her new country and the jewels be passed to her descend.
I'll keep searching informations on this
