The portrait of Queen Mary of Romania by Philip de Laszlo is so famous that I associated the fringe tiara worn on this painting with the Queen. And it seemed to me even more coherent since Mary of Romania's daughter, Mary, Queen of Yugoslavia, later owned the tiara. But Ursula and Marie-Olivia are right, the lady on the right of the banner is Princess Beatrice of Edinburgh and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Infanta of Spain and Duchess of Galliera, who was one of Queen Mary of Romania's sisters. Sorry for the confusion, and thank you for dissipating it! As an excuse for me, both sisters (Mary and Beatrice) looked very much alike!
