It definitely looks like Princess Louise's tiara is the one that got auctioned off. Princess Louise died in 1931. Maybe Louise's tiara passed on to Alexandra (Princess Arthur) and when Alexandra died in 1959, the estate sold that tiara. Alexandra died without issue (her only son died before her) so the Fife dukedom and estate would go to Princess Maud's son, James Carnegie 3rd Duke of Fife, since Princess Maud died in 1945. James Carnegie died last year so next in line is David Carnegie, 4th Duke of Fife. David and wife, Caroline Bunting have 3 sons. Maybe Princess Arthur's fringe tiara is now with the current Duke.Caroline Bunting wore the Fife tiara on her wedding to David. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/259871840969278868/ Caroline and David with their three sons: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/456341374717777754/ --Previous Message-- : Thanks Ayvee...well, this answers one question : that Princess Louise's tiara is not the same : as her daughters, Princess Arthur of : Connaught. : : However, is it possible that she (princess : Arthur of Connaught) inherited another : fringe tiara from her mother, which is shown : on the auction page I posted? they are : totally identical...and I don't think : Sotheby's would have made a mistake on : listing this fringe tiara as belonging to : Late Princess Arthur of Connaught if it : wasn't.... : : : : --Previous Message-- : I took a photo of this page from my Robert : Golden book: : : : : https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/t31.0-8/q81/s960x960/12657160_10208836726505433_973864553307356320_o.jpg : : Caption says: Princess Arthur is : "wearing a tiara which had been a : present from the King and Queen at her : marriage in 1913.
