I might suggest that those Queens Consort - Alexandra and Mary - might have considered the jewels, which we now know as "heirlooms of the crown", to be worn by a queen regnant.
For Alexandra, I could fully understand if she was reluctant to wear jewels associated closely with Queen Victoria.
Queen Mary might have followed Queen Alexandra's lead in that matter, particularly during Queen Alexandra's lifetime.
