It's great to see all the interest in queen Adelaide. I know that she refused to wear the crown of Mary of Modena, and had a new crown made. Does what Nellie wrote mean that Queen Alexandra had 2 regal diadems? Because her regal circlet went to Queen Maud in Norway, and she also wore Victoria's? Or could it be that one fo these circlets was actually her coronation crown, with the arches removed [as Queen Mary did at the coronation of George VI, nad Queen Elizabeth at the current Queen's coronation, as well as at the State visit from France in the 1950s.
