Some high-quality photos of Alice while in Canada. On the first photo, you can see the photos on her desk. They include her daughter and son-in-law, sister-in-law Queen Mary, behind that her mother Helen and to the side, her father.

Thank you very much granduchessella. On that same first photo at the far left you also see the picture of Princess Alice (middle) with her aunt Emma the Queen Mother of the Netherlands (left) and her daughter Lady May Cambridge (right) walking by the sea in Scheveningen the Netherlands.

Your have good sight, Royal Netherlands  Wink It's indeed very clear to see it is the photo where they are walking on the beach... Btw, do you have more photos of Alice at the coronation of her great-cousin Juliana in 1948 ? The group photograph is really stunning !!

I don't know the name of it, but I think it's one that she was photographed wearing on several occasions. It's not the ears of wheat tiara inherited from the Duchess of Teck--I don't know the provenance of this one. I think it may have been a wedding gift.

I think that it's this tiara (posted on pg.1 by Royal Netherlands)

I will watch you in the darkness
Show you love will see you through
When the bad dreams wake you crying
I'll show you all love can do
All love can do

I will watch by the night
Hold you in my arms
Give you dreams where no one will be
I will watch through the dark
Till the morning come
