Among the most well known jewels that Princess Louise left to the Kents were the Diamond Daisy Brooches and her Emerald Brooch, but also likely included the Kent Festoon Tiara, all of which belong to Prince and Princess Michael of Kent. Princess Louise also bequeathed the ‘Lorne Jewel’, a wedding gift from her husband, to the people of Scotland in 1939. The Necklace is on display with the Honours of Scotland at Edinburgh Castle.

I think the Louise is went to *was* the duchess of Fife, not Argyll (i.e. Edward VII's daughter). Previous Message I thought that Princess Louise received the emerald tiara that eventually went to the Duchess of Fife and is currently on loan to the V&A Museum.

According to the Royal Watcher website, it was indeed given be Queen Victoria to Princess Louise on her wedding to the Marquess of Lorne. But, according to Ursula's website "Princess Louise bequeathed all her jewels to the Duke of Kent upon her death in 1939." So, I guess Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyle gave it to Princess Louise of Wales before she died. Maybe as a wedding present to her namesake? Does anyone know? (BTW, it's on display at Kensington Palace, not at the V&A as I said previously) Previous Message I think the Louise is went to *was* the duchess of Fife, not Argyll (i.e. Edward VII's daughter).
