I too am intrigued by this photo, particularly George V's Prince of Wales' coronet resting on a cushion on the floor. Unless this is a replica, had the impression that after the Abdication, the Duke of Windsor took this particular piece of the Regalia with him, and it not seeing the light of day again until after his death in 1972 -- necessitating the design of the coronet for Prince Charles.
