My head is spinning... Indeed why buying another fringe? It is not even sure that Tatiana will ever have the chance to wear it again, as there are few tiara events in Monaco, and nobody yet knows, if Tatiana will become The Princess. Of course, the can afford to buy jewels to wear only once. But Tatiana isn't known as a Lover grand jewellery, or did I miss something?
What if the fringe necklace does not convert into a tiara (like QEII's London fringe which is threaded on silk)?
And what if Princess Charlotte's fringe has gone at some stage? It is strange that it should have been kept in the vault since that famous picture from the 1920's? If it is still there, why did Caroline never wear it? Maybe Charlotte's fringe was sold at some time before Grace came to Monaco. Finances were not too secure back then, iirc.
Why borrow a tiara from a jeweller, when there are several historical pieces in the family of the groom? (Well, Sarah did it, so it's not unheard of)
