  1. When Victoria wore it on 11th December 2012 at the King's Dinner for the Nobel Laureates, the court wrote at their website: "This was accompanied with her own tiara with matching comb".

    When she wore it at the gala dinner of the turkish state visit in March 2013, the court wrote: "This was accompanied by a steel tiara".

  2. Victoria inherited this Steel Tiara from Princess Lilian. She inherited 2 tiaras from her. This Tiara belonged to Margareth of Connaught the mother of Prince Bertil. When she died 2 tiaras went to her son the Diamond Leaf Tiara and This Steel Tiara. The Tiara are in Steel, White Gold and Diamonds
