Jinga can I ask what were the Nizam's troubles apart from losing his state ? I think the Queen wore his tiara only once after becoming the Monarch in 1952. But she then wore the 3 brooches, which formed the bulk of the tiara, a lot. --Previous Message-- : As a princess, Elizabeth owned the Nizam of : Hyderabad and the Girls of Great Britain and : Ireland tiaras and I think the love knot : tiara. She also had the halo tiara, but she : never wore it. When she became Queen, of : course, she had the Vladimir, Queen : Alexandra's fringe, and eventually the : sapphire and ruby and aquamarine tiaras. I : suppose as Queen she felt more need for a : ruby tiara than for the Nizam diamond tiara. : It's also true that the Nizam necklace was : more important to her before she received : Queen Victoria's jubilee necklace and the : various Saudi gift necklaces. But I also : continue to think the Nizam gift may have : come to seem a bit inappropriate given the : Nizam's troubles. :
