Queen Anne-Marie wore the tiara and jewels from her diamond and ruby parure for the occasion. The Ruby Olive Wreath Tiara and its accompanying pieces originally belonged to Queen Olga of the Hellenes, the Romanov grand duchess who married King George I in 1867.

Queen Olga bequeathed the rubies to her son, Prince Nicholas of Greece and Denmark. His wife, Princess Nicholas, wore the rubies often, as did two of their daughters, Princess Olga of Yugoslavia and Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent. Olga later sold the rubies to her royal cousins, King Paul and Queen Friederike of the Hellenes. In the 1960s, Friederike passed them on to her daughter-in-law, Queen Anne-Marie, who still owns and wears them today.
