It's interesting that Princess Alexandra wore an open coronet, like those worn by Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret in 1937, except that hers had strawberry leaves instead of fleur de lis. She was daughter of a son of the sovereign, but not daughter of the sovereign. Alexandra was not considered an adult princess evidently. I believe Princess Margaret had worn a tiara to the Inauguration of Queen Juliana when she was 18, but Princess Alexandra at 18 did not wear a tiara to the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Her mother was a traditionalist where jewelry was concerned.
