From what I read, the fringe tiara is an heirloom from the Bulgarian royal family. Princess Nadejda of Bulgaria was the mother of Duchess Margarethe and Duchess Sophie. Both Duchesses have worn the fringe tiara on their wedding day, as well as Princess Marie Isabelle d'Orléans. I was always surprised that the Orléans Princess borrowed a tiara of her aunt's cousin, instead of her aunt or her own family. Is there anything known about the history of the star tiara Duchess Sophie wore for her pre-wedding? And has anyone ever seen a wedding pic of her brother with Archduchess Alexandra?
