Now these are exciting information! Thank you so much, Roger. At first I had pondered that the tiara and the comb might have been baptizing presents by one of Victoria's sponsors. But now we learn that there is more sparkle to come firstly from the Royal Vaults, secondly from presents to Victoria . This is so exciting!
