How funny, yesterday when searching The Royal Collecion for pictures of Queen Alexandra at State Opening of Parliament, I stumbled over this photograph from 1889 and wondered, what tiara then Princess of Wales is wearing... I was in a hurry and had no time to do more research. And now, riddle already solved .
Thank you both, Nellie and Maridje for your information and links provided.
