Great discussion😊

I don’t have the book available, but if I recall correctly there is a reference to queen Mary’s jewels and the storage during WW2 in Pope-Hennessy. They had been stored at Windsor during the war, and she noted it was “interesting” so see them after the war. So she probably didn’t bring the bulk of her collection with her to Badminton if this is correct.

But it is very likely that she also brought with her some of her collection to Badminton. But wouldn’t Windsor probably be deemed a safer place for storage? Wasn’t the crowd jewels also hidden at Windsor?
