Princess Margaret's feather brooch?

In July Bryce posted a link to a video showing Queen Mary and QEQM wearing interesting brooches.

Queen Mary showing an unidentified brooch on her hat.
Because the screen shots are not very sharp I have some hesitation but I wonder if QM's brooch could be the same as Princess Margaret's feather brooch?
Some more views
When the brooch was auctioned after the Princess died there was no mention of Queen Mary in the catalogue notes, and to my eye the shape of Queen Mary's brooch seems different at the wider end of the feather, but the brooch belonging to Princess Margaret was said to be articulated and this, or the angle from which QM's brooch was filmed, may account for some differences.
