“Why do i feel like the brf are running out of wedding tiaras lol. Like no one repeats these tiaras normally and they don't have a huge tiara collection in the first place and even from the collection only a select few tiaras are wedding appropriate. Also, wondering if the Queen Mary's bandeau is forever going to be locked away in the vaults forever now? Like would any bride want to be associated with Meghan and that tiara anymore?” - Submitted by Anonymous
"Well into the 1920s Missy still kept a crystal ball given to her by George from his courting days. And whenever she handled it, an enigmatic smile lit up her face"
"The Vladimir Tiara" - HM Queen Elizabeth II
Purchased in the 1920s by her grandmother, Queen Mary of Teck, from The Grand Duchess Vladimir (Marie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, a German princess, who married Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich of Russia, a son of Emperor Alexander II, in the 1870s).
The tiara can be worn with or without drops. Above the three versions:
- without drops
- with pearl drops
- with emerald drops (from the Cambridge emerald collection used to create the Delhi Durbar parure)
"In the course of nearly four years of war, His Majesty has seen thousands of female workers and their passion, their dedication and their vivacity at the exciting new world opening up for them gives him no end of pleasure. He bombarded working girls with questions: How long had they been employed? Did they like their work? And what of their brothers at the front? He has a fatherly soft spot for a girl in uniform, and those war-girls have infiltrated almost every establishment that the King visits.”
Excerpt from "In the Eye of the storm: George V and the Great War" by Alexandra Churchill
