Cartier Diamond Tiara

Prince Francis of Teck, born in 1870 at Kensington Palace, was the second son of Francis, Duke of Teck, and Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge. Educated at Eton and Cheltenham College, Francis was known for his elegance and somewhat extravagant lifestyle. He became close to Ellen, Countess of Kilmorey, despite their significant age difference, and there was speculation about the nature of their relationship, although it appears to have been platonic. Francis had inherited the Teck family’s Cambridge emeralds and had loaned them to the Countess, which caused tension within his family, particularly with his sister, who later became Queen Mary.

After his death in 1910, it was discovered that Francis had bequeathed these emeralds to the Countess in his will, which was sealed, sparking rumors. The Countess eventually sold the famous Cambridge Emeralds back to Queen Mary. Ellen, Countess of Kilmorey, passed away in 1920, leaving behind a will that detailed the disposition of her estate, including the jewel given to her by Prince Francis.

Prinz Francis von Teck, geboren 1870 im Kensington Palace, war der zweite Sohn von Francis, Herzog von Teck, und Prinzessin Mary Adelaide von Cambridge. Er wurde in Eton und am Cheltenham College ausgebildet und war für seinen eleganten und extravaganten Lebensstil bekannt. Francis entwickelte eine enge Beziehung zur deutlich älteren Ellen, Gräfin von Kilmorey, wobei spekuliert wurde, ob die Beziehung platonisch war. Francis hatte die Cambridge Smaragde seiner Familie geerbt und sie der Gräfin geliehen, was Spannungen innerhalb seiner Familie auslöste, insbesondere mit seiner Schwester, die später Königin Mary wurde.

Nach seinem Tod im Jahr 1910 stellte sich heraus, dass Francis diese Smaragde der Gräfin in seinem Testament vermacht hatte, das versiegelt wurde und Gerüchte auslöste. Die Gräfin verkaufte schließlich die Smaragde an Königin Mary. Ellen, Gräfin von Kilmorey, verstarb 1920 und hinterließ ein Testament, das die Verteilung ihres Nachlasses, einschließlich des von Prinz Francis erhaltenen Juwels, detailliert beschrieb.
