I don't believe there has been any evidence to prove that 'Queen Elizabeth's Double Meander Tiara' was or was not part of the Greville bequest, as the full list of the over 60 pieces has never been published.
All that is known about this piece is that it was owned by Queen Elizabeth, and was loaned by her to the Goldsmith Hall 'Modern Jewellery' exhibition in 1961.
No other information is known, or has ever been released about this piece, it's provenance and origins are completely unknown; as far as I am aware.
