I looked again and don't think that is a velvet cap either.
It could be the central fitted space that holds the 8 principal elements when removed from the base, and its sloping sides help hold the circlet secure.
In fact I wonder if the writer worked only from the pic and did not actually handle the item and case.

: I think the fact that these are referred to
: Prince of Wales's feathers and St. George
: Crosses, is just indicative of the fact that
: whoever compiled this entry is not familiar
: with jewellery, and the terms applied to
: their elements.
: Nothing to do with the actual piece.
: It is well documented that these are maltese
: crosses and fleur de lys.
: I suggested this is just the mistake on the
: part of a Royal Collection intern, or
: someone not familiar with jewellery and
: regalia terminology.

: Well spotted Jinja, the remark about the PoW

: Quite odd. Here is the frame beside the

: Identical elements I would say.

: And my guess, note guess, is that the London
: Museum and the Royal Collection negotiated.

: From memory the fitted case was made at the

: I don't recall colours.

: The PoW feathers comment does seem strange.
