Here it is again, black and white picture scanned from an old 1987 Hola magazine, Catherine Duchess of Kent wearing a small unknown diamond tiara --Previous Message-- : I suspect that the tiara worn by the present : Duchess of Kent in the photo posted by : Baxter (dated by Baxter to March 1982 : http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/archive/1391093150.html : ) is not the so called snake pearl tiara : worn by Princess Marina. : : To my, admittedly very poor eye, it looks : different. Moreover, Princess Marina died in : August 1968 and I am under the impression : that the snake tiara was sold to pay : inheritance taxes. Of course I might be : thoroughly confused. : : Whether the tiara in the video Kongetro gave : us a link to is the same as in the photo : Baxter posted is something I cannot decide. : Unfortunately, the photo Cristina posted : http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/archive/1390942379.html : is no longer available. : : Could there be a Kent tiara with which we : are unfamiliar? Possibly. I have one media : report which suggests that Princess Marina : was given a tiara as a wedding present by : the Duke of Kent. I know nothing about this : jewel or what it might have looked like. : : Sunday Times 2 December 1934. : : : : I posted this snippet before but it was not : in a thread about Kent jewels, but those of : Mrs Greville. : http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/1459986005.html : : I realise that many will dismiss the report : in the Sunday Times as fanciful; however, : in light of Franck's recent find about the : previously unknown tiara of Princess Alice, : Duchess of Gloucester, I am inclined to keep : an open mind. The Duke of Kent may have : given his bride a tiara with which we are : unfamiliar. Re Franck's find see : http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/thread/1467580524.html : :
