Thanks Sam, I did not know there was a documentary dedicated to the late Princess Marina Duchess of Kent, nor did I know she made such a valid contribution to public life. Her descendants should be proud.

I still find it fascinating that persons of such stature has to resort to selling off such wonderful jewelry, something I believe the Queen must have reservations about as none of her mother's or her late daughter in law's jewelry came to auction.

Neither did any of her divorced daughter in law's jewelry was ever known to have been sold either, so that gives me some hope that the trend of selling off Royal jewels will not be done by the main line of the family.

Regards,

Dave.
