It was then briefly part of a five-month exhibit at England’s National Portrait Gallery until March 1969.
This picture features Queen Elizabeth wearing the Vladimir Tiara in its original pearl configuration.
This piece was reportedly Elizabeth’s favorite tiara and originally belonged to Grand Duchess Vladimir of Russia.
After the assassination of the Russian royal family in 1918, the tiara was secretly taken to England.
In 1953, Elizabeth and Prince Philip traveled to Sandringham, where George VI had died the year before.
Elizabeth then established an annual tradition to visit Sandringham to memorialize George VI on the anniversary of his death.
