i am always perplexed when i hear that story of the Queen finding the bandeau in the stores after QUeen Mary's death. The press pictures of her wedding gifts shows a bandeau next to, but separate from, the Girls of Great Britain tiara. That bandeau has always been identified (or maybe assumed to be) the base of that tiara. Would The Queen simply have forgotten her wedding present and re-discovered it a few years later after her grandmother's death? Sounds rather unlikely to me.
