The question of the the fleurs de lys has never been answered, to my recollection. I'm not even sure thast Maud received them. I believe the band has been shortened and three fleurs de lys [edit: crosses! What was I thinking of!] are now permanently fixed to the front. The fourth is worn as a brooch. But I could be wrong! Here's a link - but parts of this don't quite fit. I'll go back to my notes and read up on the topic again. [Confusion between State or Diamond Diadem and the Regal Circlet which are not a match in their elements.] http://trondni.blogspot.com.au/search?q=alexandraEdit: We spent a lot of time and threads on the topic on 2006, well before the family story came to light as told in the blog link. The "tiara" was referred to as the Malteser in those days.
