The Royal Collection site has the comment that the photo might be from the coronation of Edward VII.
If that is correct, it suggests that the jewels worn by Princess Marie Louise might have been her then grandest jewels.
The tiara she is wearing in the photo looks like a composite jewel, with possibly a diamond choker being used as a base to form a more substantial tiara.
I suspect that, later, the Princess had existing jewels, including those seen in the photo(and probably some she inherited), remodeled, which would have enabled her to create the honeysuckle and Indian tiaras.
In the photo above she is seen wearing a diamond necklace; yet, I do not recollect seeing her in later life wearing anything other than pearl necklaces. Either she did not like the style in later years or perhaps she had jewels given to her as wedding presents remodeled.
The above is all just guess work.
Does anyone have a list of her wedding presents?
PS I have noticed in the press at the time of her marriage, she is referred to as Princess Louise and occasionally as Princess Victoria Louise.
