No estimates of the value of the jewels come at anywhere near £1000 trillion, and ten times this would be the entire GDP of the UK for 5 millenniums assuming it was at the current level throughout that time. Anyone got a good reliable estimate? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/92.29.243.80|92.29.243.80]] ([[User talk:92.29.243.80|talk]]) 20:58, 12 June 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

==Kent Russian Fringe Tiara== |
|||
Princess Marina was presented with a tiara from the Lord Mayor and citizens of London. It was presented to her as a wedding gift and was passed down through her family. Her daughter Princess Alexandra wore the tiara to her wedding and it is now in the possession of Princess Michael of Kent, NOT Queen Elizabeth II. The tiara mentioned here incorrectly, which was her mothers [[Grand Duchess Elena Vladimirovna of Russia]], was passed down to her other daughter, which you can clearly see she is wearing in her wedding photo [[Princess Elizabeth of Greece and Denmark]]..etc. That Romanov tiara is now in the possession of Archduchess Helene of Austria, daughter of Princess Elizabeth of Greece and Denmark and her husband, Carl Theodor, Count of Toerring-Jettenbach.

Can we use a better image for the Vladimir? this is a bit more detailed; perhaps it could be cropped to remove the overly Canadian elements as well as make it a bit smaller. Thoughts? — [ roux ] [x] 13:52, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Though not strictly pertinent to the main article many of the images have notable characters in them, such as the first Duke of Wellington (the godfather of the child in the picture) on the first picture of the page. Should these be added to the captions? 129.67.17.233 (talk) 17:48, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
