The late Princess Mary, the Princess Royal and Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth both had a history of wearing incredible jewels.
Both noble families had a reputation for living in grand houses in London and the countryside and supposedly had huge wealth. Many noble families of the time had impressive jewellery collections to rival those of any royal house, yet interestingly however I cannot recall seeing Princess Mary wearing any jewels associated with the Harewood family, all her jewels seem traceable back to gifts from her family/wedding.
Similarly I am not aware of any jewels associated with the Strathmore family, Queen Elizabeth even loaned her mother and sisters tiaras for the 1937 coronation, which does suggest they didn't have sufficiently grand jewels.
Does anyone know anything about either family's jewels?
