The emerald bandeau belonged to Empress Augusta Viktoria of Germany. She left it to her only daughter Viktoria Luise of Hanover. The piece was sold later on and Francesca became the owner. On her wedding to archduke Karl she wore the diamond and pearl bandeau a rather small tiara. Im not sure the main line of the Habsburg house have larger tiara's at their disposal.

This emerald tiara belonged at one point to Princess Sophie of Greece (Philip's sister). I think it came from the Hanover family (her second husband's), but I'm not sure.
Francesca her daughter who married Archduke Karl of Habsbourg received a tiara bandeau with diamonds and emeralds. When she was Archduchess she could wear the Habsbourg tiara bandeau.Did she wear other jewels ?
