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.

This is a major discovery. Congratulations!

How interesting! It is entirely possible that the tiara was disposed off, but probably by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. It was she who has sold the amethyst tiara.

It is not a significant loss to the BRF as the tiara was largely used by Queen Mary in her last years, often as a base to attach stones to, as demonstrated in the picture above.

Interesting News. Good to see the tiara worn and not gathering dust in the Vaults like so many other Jewels in the british RF.

I wonder when it was sold off?
Its a very pretty tiara on its own and not too keen on the new addition of those diamonds snow flakes!

I think the diamond snow flakes and the lozenge brooch are removable additions.

I think the diamond snow flakes and the lozenge brooch are removable additions.

Thankfully as they don't really work that well.

Yes, they were just attached with wire. HM sent me the picture with them attached first, but a few minutes later, they had been removed. She has used the same brooches on other tiaras, but this was less successful IMHO.
