In the first picture, the lady behind the HRH The Duchess of Kent is The Duchess of Devonshire. This can be seen as she wears the same convertible necklace/tiara that she wore to the State Opening of Parliament in 1966, which she attended as Mistress of the Robes.
 
She also wore this necklace tiara to the Coronation in 1953
Pictures courtesy of Nellie and Baxter, from a previous thread concerning this necklace.
