Let us hope that this information is shared by Wartski at some point. Maybe out of sensitivity to the Duke and Duchess it is embargoed for their life time?
The Duke and Duchess have sold off most of the Duke's (not shabby) jewellery inheritance, it was quite unfortunate they did so at a time in the 70s and 80s when vintage jewellery was not reaching the enormous prices it has been achieving in the past decade but I believe they have had repeated financial problems over the years so needs must and all.
Their grandchildren are mostly of marriageable age now and so I anticipate a few weddings in the next decade or so, will probably be the best way of assessing what jewels remain still in this branch, unless there are more sales/auctions.
