Nellie, have you ever come across this article with the above title, published in 'Woman' in 1961.
It says quote: ' The Duchess's "best" tiara was left to her husband by Princess Louise, one of Queen Victoria's daughters.
It is made up of reversed heart-shaped festoons of diamonds, with a great pearl set high on each diamond heart spike and is specially delicate-looking and light to wear'
Sounds to me like information from someone who knew.
