Beth, I have long had the idea that young ladies not wearing tiaras until marriage was a convention of the nobility, rather than of royalty. (I imagine royalty did whatever they liked.) And that the Queen Mother applied the standard practice for the nobility (from her own upbringing) for her daughters - excluding the patently royal occasions overseas for Princess Margaret.
