Indeed, Princess Mary of Teck and later her daughter Mary, Princess Royal, received much more. But we have seen time and again a kind of ranking with brides, especially with the younger daughters. A little strange in our world but obviously not in a world of rank and status. So the ninth child and fourth daughter of an Earl, seen as a commoner (from a royal point of view) marring the second son (no one thought at that time he would be the spare and future king) got jewels befitting her rank. So no institutions had collected money for a gift or non rich family presented a tiara as a sign of connection with the royal family. It wasn`t necessary so it seems. Her sister-in-law, Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, also got a turqouise parure by King and Queen with other emerald jewels and a modern diamond tiara by the groom which can be altered with emerald. Very lovely piece, by the way. So two tiaras we thought til the other diamond tiara presented by the groom appeared recently. She did a little better deal... The Duchess of Kent as a royal princess is out of race I think. But - maybe one day we find a picture of the wedding gifts. How knows --Previous Message-- : Many thanks Franck.
