Boffer's research from 2008 Edited Archived Message
Posted by Beth on March 3, 2016, 4:40 pm, in reply to "Re: Durbar tiara not at Camilla's disposal anymore?"
I have deleted the images because of Nellie's concerns, although frankly I think it was very obvious that the images were Photoshopped and, as they were clearly based on a modern photo of the tiara, it is unlikely anyone would think these were photos of the tiara at various periods. I then posted only Boffer's summaries of the differences in each version; however, the summary needs the images to make sense, so I have now deleted most of the post, leaving only the following observation of my own. "The photo I found in the Illustrated London News, dated 20 May 1911 would suggest that the public's first view of the tiara was via the media and showed Boffer's number 2 version. Because Queen Mary intended to wear the emerald parure at the Delhi Durbar, I wonder if she deliberately choose to be photographed with an all diamond version of the tiara initially so that the first public appearance of the emerald parure was reserved for the Delhi Durbar.
