Queen Mary never lost interest even in old age, and in 1951 two years before her death purchased from George 2nd Marquess of Cambridge (her nephew), Queen Charlotte's Jewel Cabinet which had been owned by Pss Mary Dss of Gloucester and passed down to Pss Mary Adelaide. See RCT article link below and also YouTube video where its interesting to see how Queen Charlotte's jewels were secured in 1762. Notice the compartment where her very valuable diamond stomacher was stored.
