Thank you Torkel. I know of the gifts and the fringe tiara. However, when I did check in Munn I was surprised about his remarks for the Fife. Some extracts: Plate 103 - "It may well have been a gift from her mother and father when she married the sixth Earl and first Duke of Fife at Buckingham Palace in 1889." Plate 104 - "If the tiara was made by Massin it is possible that the Prince of Wales ordered it as a result of one of his excursions to Paris." I'd have thought when Munn was preparing his mega volume that he would have known of the published lists of wedding gifts.
