I have never seen a pic of the Duchess of Ancona with another tiara. Didn't she have a tiara of her own, so that she had to borrow from her sister-in-law? That would have been unusual in those days. --Previous Message-- : Here is a photo of HRH the Duchess of Pistoia, : then Duchess of Savoy-Genova (wife of HRH : Filiberto of Savoy-Genova Duke of Pistoia : and then Duke of Genova) wearing her : diamonds sautoir and the tiara borrowed from : her sister-in-law, HRH the Duchess Lucia of : Ancona (née Bourbon-Two-Sicilies), wife of : Lydia husband's younger brother, HRH Eugenio : Duke of Ancona.
