As a young woman Princess Alexandra was frequently photographed wearing a ruby brooch in the shape of a rose.



I think that this may have been the gift of the ship builders when HRH launched the oil tanker, British Soldier , at the end of June 1954.





For many years this brooch was a favourite, but I have not spotted it in recent photos. Has any one spotted it since the 1970s?

Getty dates this photo to 2 September 1954



In the early 1970s --probably 1971.
