Long term status of the Cullinan brooches...
From what I have seen (and I may have missed something), nothing has been mentioned about the long term status of the Cullinan brooches and whether their use in the Queen's crown is a permanent decision and they will essentially form part of the Crown Jewels in perpetuity or whether they will be removed in due course and returned to The Queen's private collection. In the case of the latter, then a long term solution will need to be found so the crown can be displayed at the Tower of London, I believe the Crown previously had a rock crystal in place of the Koh-I-Noor. Cullinan 5 was a very popular brooch for the late Queen Elizabeth II and I looked forward to seeing The Queen also wearing it, so I'd be disappointed if it was to remain a permanent feature in the crown. I'm less fond of the Cullinan 3 and 4 brooch and would prefer to see it reset, maybe as the centre piece of a necklace or Cullinan 3 acting as a drop to a more substantive brooch
