Pss Elizabeth wears her 21st birthday Diplomatic Corp floral earrings and South African "Best" diamond necklace in its original long form. Starting at time = 2.58 we get a view of its interesting clasp. We were told that the necklace had a detachable snap piece with the 6 carat blue-white De Beers diamond gifted to the princess during that tour. I am guessing that it's the pendant style clasp we see at the back of her necklace
Which necklace is Pss Margaret wearing (time = 3:44)? It resembles her Lady Mount Stephen riviere, but this was in 1950 and she wouldn't inherit that until Q. Mary's death in 1953. Neither could it be the diamond necklace we are told she received from Geo VI for her 21st birthday which was the following year.
