Albert Edward, Prince of Wales who was the son of Queen Victoria and the future King Edward VII had purchased a magnificent parure for his bride to be Princess Alexandra of Denmark.  It was a gift for their wedding in 1863

The set included a diamond tiar, a pearl necklace, earrings and a brooch.  The set, apart from the tiara, which no longer exists, was split between royal ladies but in now reunited in the Queen’s collection.
