Because of the lack of grand Royal functions during the period of WWI, it is very difficult to ascertain when the Princess Royal, later Countess of Harewrood initially wore any type of tiara. Photographic records, however, suggest it was before her marriage as, in November 1921, a series of photos were released showing her wearing a laurel wreath tiara/bandeau/circlet, which had previously been photographed on Queen Mary. The National Portrait Gallery, UK says that this image was published on 27 November 1921 There is a whole series of images from the same sitting.
