27th June and today's tiara was designed by Cartier in 1902 for Grand Duchess Helen (Elena). It was a wedding present from her parents, the Grand Duke and Duchess Vladimir, when she married Prince Nicholas of Greece. This tiara passed to the eldest of their three daughters, Princess Olga. It was last seen in public at the 1962 wedding of Juan Carlos and Sofia, without the pear shaped drop diamonds. It's whereabouts today is unknown.

2nd June and today's tiara is the Alexandrine Tiara. It originally belonged to Queen Alexandrine of Denmark, although no one knows for sure how she acquired it. After her death it passed to her son King Frederick, who gave it to his eldest daughter, Queen Margrethe as an 18th birthday present. She wore it a lot in her younger years, but in 1995 she give it to Alexandra Manley, Prince Joachim's first wife. She still has it, and wore it recently to the 50th celebrations for Crown Prince Frederick.

She died in 1956 and bequeathed the tiara to her godson Prince Richard of Gloucester. Today the tiara is worn by his wife Birgitte.
