When the Duke passed away, she was completely alone and ill and sold Queen Ena's Watch to survive.
It is its second Auction !
I don't know if this jewel list was private for family Members but the last page of this list is printed on the very Page of the Queen 's item to sell. Estimation 6000/8000 eurs...
Alas I cannot scan this page !
Many thanks Maria Olivia!! Wouldn't it be interesting to be able to see the complete inventory of Queen Ena's jewels at the time! Then, it would be clear what she had gifted to others before her death and what jewels were bequeathed to whom.
