--Previous Message-- : This was discussed before but in Bjarne's Book : page 127 Princess Feodora is wearing a : smaller version of it. : page 63 Countess Dorrit is seen with this : tiara also but smaller version. : Who owns this tiara now ? Yes, it has been discussed before, but maybe you didn't take notes, since you ask again. As far as I have been told, the bigger tiara (6 ears of wheat) was broken up sometime after Princess Helena's death (1962), but at least it still existed in 1967 when her daughter-in-law Dorrit wore it on the occasion of Margrethe and Henrik's wedding (first photo). The smaller tiara (4 ears of wheat) was, I think, last seen at the wedding of Helena's grandson Waldemar in 1977 (second photo).
