Like Beth it is one of the most interesting and absorbing posts I have ever read.
Congratulations!! And thank you so much Thomas.
Have an excellent university reopening !

I wonder if anything was said in the exhibition or the catalogue about how the jewels of Queen Caroline Matilda ended up in the Danish collections? Was she forced to leave them in Denmark when George III arranged for her to live in Celle? Or did she bequeath them to her son?
Secondly, was any additional information given about the pearls?
I am intrigued that, like the pearls worn by Queen Silvia of Sweden, they appear to be chalky.
