I wonder if there were will be any commemoration of the events to mark its 100th anniversary next year?

An exhibit including the Strathmore Rose Tiara would be an ideal celebration.

I doubt there would be a celebration of the Albert/Elizabeth union. It’s one of those anniversaries that has faded into history now, though no doubt it was noted each year during the reign of George VI. As for the Strathmore Rose tiara, has anyone even seen it for decades? I’ve got a strong suspicion that it may have been broken up to make other pieces years ago.

As for the Strathmore Rose tiara... The Court Jeweller reported on 4-08-2021, "our most recent glimpse of the tiara came in 2012, when it was photographed for The Queen’s Diamonds". https://www.thecourtjeweller.com/202...en-tiaras.html
