For the ball following the wedding of her niece, duchess Sophie of Wurtemberg to Comte Maximilian d'Andigne, the princess of Waldbourg Zeil, née duchess Mathilde of wurtemberg, wore for the first time the original "Cambridge pearl and diamond tiara". That tiara was bought by her father in law at Christie's in the 1990s. There are at least 4 versions of that tiara. This one was created in Germany for princess Augusta of Hesse Cassel (1797-1889) who married the duke of Cambridge in 1818. She left it to her eldest daughter, Augusta, who became grand duchess of Mecklembourg Strelitz. She, i. Turn, left it to her grand daughter, Jutta, who became crown princess of Montenegro. Princess Jutra died in 1946, :5 years later, her tiara was sold at Christie,s. Another of the duchess of Cambridge grand daughter, queen Mary of England, had the same tiara created for her. It has remained in the British royal family and was worn by the queen, princess Diana, and the current duchess of Cambridge. A third version belongs need the prince Youssoupov. If is now lost, unless it is the fourth version of that tiara worn in the 1920s by the maharani of Patiala. The 5tb version of that tiara is kept in the schatzkammer of the Residenz in Munich. The last princess to wear was crown princess Ruprecht of Bavaria, born princess of Luxembourg.
