    I was reading her autobiography recently, and she mentions jewellery she took on a trip to Kenya before her wedding. These clips might have been part of those jewels!

    If I have time on the weekend I will look again in the newspapers at the lists of wedding presents given to Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, to see if anything matches these clips. At present I don't have anything which which would suggest that these were wedding gifts or from whom.

    The Times had a long list, but what I have done cuttings of do not show anything matching these clips -- but I did not copy all the list.

    Below are photos of the gifts from the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch to their daughter. Of course they may have given her other gifts which were not noted by the press.

    From her mother


    From her mother


    From some of her family, including father and mother


    The pearls from her father, the Duke of Buccleuch
