The Wedding Ball of Countess Helene zu Törring-Jettenbach (wearing a Small Diamond Tiara) and Archduke Ferdinand of Austria (wearing the Austrian Order of the Golden Fleece) at Schloss Seefeld, the seat of the Counts of Törring-Jettenbach, in Bavaria on this day in 1956. Guests included Princess Olga of Yugoslavia (aunt of the bride, wearing the Boucheron Diamond Daisy Tiara), Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent (aunt of the bride, wearing the Kent Pearl Circles Tiara and her Bow Brooch), Prince Louis Ferdinand and Princess Kira of Prussia (in the Hohenzollern Clover Coronet), Archduke Otto (cousin of the groom) and Archduchess Regina von Habsburg (wearing the Habsburg Pearl and Diamond Bandeau), King Umberto of Italy, Princess Theodora, Margravine of Baden, and Princess Isabelle of Orleans (in the Coty Emerald Tiara) among a host of Royal and Noble Guests.
Wow! I had to do a double take on several of these photos! For a moment I thought Princess Kira of Prussia was wearing the Empress Augusta Viktoria’s clover leaf coronet, but it looks like this is either a copy or made very similarly on purpose. And when I scrolled to the 4th photo, I thought the lady in the flowery gown was Queen Louise of Sweden wearing Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother’s Boucheron tiara! Wrong again, though! And I’m so sad that the Kents no longer have the Kent Pearl Circle tiara. That was so pretty, and I truly feel Princess Alexandra should have inherited that from her mother. But then the late Duchess had strange ideas about that. One thing’s for sure, there was a lot of bling at this party!

Princess Kira was wearing the Prussian Coronet, just before it was modified!
