When Albert is given a portrait of Victoria for the first time, she is depicted in a white dress, with a tiara set vertically in her bun. By convention, unmarried women, royals included, do not wear tiaras until, at least, betrothed, more usually, married. That specific portrait was done in 1842, two years after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were married. Furthermore, Albert designed the tiara in her hair especially for Victoria.
