I find these clips from the Sunday Times very interesting, especially the one regarding the pre-wedding reception held for Princess Marina. Are any of the other guests mentioned, and does it say which jewels they wore? --Previous Message-- : I have found some reports in the Sunday Times : for when Mrs Greville was reported to have : worn her emerald tiara. : : I will only list a few of the later dates as : my intention was to find the latest reports : of her wearing the jewel. : : Report dated 1 July 1934 : : : : Report dated 2 December 1934 at a : pre-wedding reception for Princess Marina. : : : : Report dated 28 June 1936 at a dance at : Holland House. : : : Although the report does not specifically : say Mrs Greville was wearing the emerald : tiara that seems to be what is suggested. : : Report dated 21 November 1937.

Although the report does not : specifically state that she wore a tiara, I : think it is safe to assume she would have, : but whether that necessarily suggests she : wore the emerald tiara is open to question. : : : : At the very least the media confirms that : Mrs Greville was wearing the tiara in 1934, : and given how the report was phrased for the : pre-wedding reception of Princess Marina, I : suspect that Mrs Greville may have worn her : emerald tiara when she wore the rest of her : emerald jewels. : : :
