Too bad the tiara was altered from its original version; it was gorgeous as a kokoshnik.

Isn't that sad? At this rate, the Duchess of Kent won't have any tiaras left! Could it be they (the Dukes of Kent) need the money?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if by doing this less inheritance tax maybe and historical one's be given to the crown to also avoid that same thing too.
