The earliest photos I have of QEQM wearing this brooch (and the accompanying bracelet which Franck says came from Mrs Greville) are from the South African tour in 1947.
I strong suspect that the brooch was part of the inheritance from Mrs Greville.
The photos from the South African tour prove that these jewels were not silver wedding anniversary gifts from King George VI as some had claimed.
The brooch and bracelet were worn by QEQM so frequently and even for significant family events as to leave no doubt that they were personal favourites of HM.
Silver wedding series of photos.
