Queen Victoria's small diamond crownArchived Message

Does anyone know if Queen Victoria's small diamond crown was left as a private jewel to Edward VII or if it was designated as a Crown heirloom?
We have photographic evidence that Queen Alexandra continued to wear it during her years as a widow - for example to the wedding of her granddaughter, Princess Arthur of Connaught in 1913.
It seems that a hint of the dispute between Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary was leaked to the press as the Aberdeen Daily Journal 16 June 1910 reported that Queen Alexandra would continue to use the crown.
