    ah, thank you for that informative correction. I appreciate it. I just think it is a young woman's tiara and would be fun for her to wear.
    I hope that Camilla will allow the Duchess to wear and use it when she becomes Queen. As much as I do not care for the DOC I truly believe all the jewels and hoopla are not a driving force in her day to day decisions.
