I agree that it is not a match - and I should have remembered to check Ursula's page. --Previous Message-- : The tiara featured in the first picture from : Nellie is not Queen Alexandra's amethyst : tiara - although similar in shape it is not : the same. : : It is simply a case of a picture flying : around various boards and blogs until : speculation is accepted as fact. : : Here Ursula carried out some fantastic : research into Queen Alexandra's amethyst : tiara, which descended through the Fife line : of the family. : : : http://www.royal-magazin.de/england/queen-alexandra/q-alexandra-amethysts.htm : : --Previous Message-- : 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. : : : Picture from Royal Collection, RCIN 2106272 : : Caption from Royal Collection: : : Creator: : Unknown Person (photographer) : Creation Date: : c. 1889 : Materials: : Albumen photographic print carte di visite : Dimensions: : 30.3 x 18.5 cm : RCIN : 2106272 : Description: : Full-length portrait photograph of the : Princess of Wales standing next to a chair : which the Princess has her right hand placed : on the back of and a closed fan in her left : hand.
