The links to the Royal Collection do not work (they take me to the main page). I suspect the small sapphire coronet mentioned is the tiara owned by the Harewoods. It was featured extensively in a 1997 exhibition, and received some press as the Earl and Countess of Harewood did not know it could be traced back to Queen Victoria. It is also in the Munn book. I believe there is a Winterhalter portrait where Queen Victoria wears it in her chignon. --Previous Message-- : A similar print to the one above - dated 1868 : : : http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/collection/search#/76/collection/605712/queen-victoria : : : :
