Queen Mary's lost Diamond Lozenge Bandeau is with the Queen of Pahang

Posted by The Royal Watcher on October 26, 2024, 7:01 pm

This week, I am in the Sultanate of Pahang to celebrate the Wedding of Prince Muhammad of Pahang, Tengku Arif Bendahara, the son of the Sultan of Pahang and Tengku Ampuan (Queen) Azizah, and have a very exciting discovery to share with you! Queen Azizah of Pahang and I have come upon the conclusion that her Diamond Bandeau Tiara is Queen Mary's lost Diamond Lozenge Bandeau last worn by Princess Margaret. Her Majesty graciously invited me to the Palace to view the Tiara (and five others) and we both compared it and could find no differences. Queen Azizah bought this Diamond Bandeau Tiara on the advice of Princess Chulabhorn of Thailand in New York. Like Queen Mary’s Amethyst Tiara, the Diamond Lozenge Bandeau must have been discreetly sold off by Princess Margaret by the 1980s. In our excitement, the Tiara did drop and get slightly damaged but will soon be repaired. Please credit HM Queen Azizah of Pahang and Saad Salman/The Royal Watcher when sharing this discovery! Press inquiries should be directed to royalwatcher@hotmail.com.

For me, this is one of the best Royal Jewels finds in a LONG time! AMAZING! Previous Message Oh yes!! It is the closeup of Queen Mary in the centre of the second pic here that convinces me. Either it is the same bandeau, or a perfect copy. By the way, Princess Margaret did sell some jewels. Perhaps someone can use that clue to dig further.

Question: are there fittings for the upright pearls that Mary wore? Also, how do the brooches attach? Previous Message For me, this is one of the best Royal Jewels finds in a LONG time! AMAZING!

That’s what I was wondering too, Andrew. If the fittings for the pearls are there then it really is Queen Mary’s tiara.
