    You are welcome - I had read a biography of her and I have NO idea why I remembered that bit (but I did, must have been because it was about jewels). So I looked for some details.

    : Here is a link to a newspaper article
    : (10/26/1946) about the theft. In it,
    : Kathleen is mistakenly identified as
    : "the Marchioness of Hartington".
    : It doesn't give details about the $40K of
    : jewels stolen, but keep in mind that
    : Kathleen did have jewelry of her own (some
    : from her father, who had given her a
    : sapphire watch, among other pieces).

    : Kathleen stayed in London until her death in
    : 1948. She lived in a house in Smith Square
    : and was robbed of some of her jewels. Her
    : former mother-in-law Duchess Mary
    : subsequently lent her some jewels, but I
    : don't know what sort.
    :
    : I'm thinking that there weren't many
    : tiara-wearing occasions during those years

    : I am wondering that since Kathleen Kennedy
    : became the Marchioness of Hartington as the
    : result of her marriage to the eldest son of
    : the 10th Duke of Devonshire, was she known
    : to have been photographed wearing a tiara
    : belonging to that family? If not
    : photographed, did she ever wear a tiara in
    : public from the comments in any magazine or
    : newspaper?? Does anyone know?

    :
    : Rose Kennedy was known to have worn at least
    : three different tiaras. What I'd like to
    : know is whether any of you could recognize
    : these tiaras.
    :
    : Rose (shortly before King George VI and
    : Queen Elizabeth arrived at the American
    : Embassy; I believe she borrowed this tiara
    : from a British noblewoman, didn't she? If
    : so, who would that noblewoman be?)(This is
    : in the late 1930s; at least Joe Jr and
    : Kathleen were still alive at that point)
    :
    :
    : This was the time when Kathleen, left, and
    : Rosemary were presented to British society
    : in London. Their mother Rose was wearing
    : this tiara when she stood between them. What
    : was this tiara?
    :
    : View of just this tiara alone....
    :
    :
    : Rose wore this tiara at a Palm Beach,
    : Florida, party (probably in the early 1970s)
    : (where the Kennedy family vacation home was
    : located).
