QE jewels - 1939 Posted by Bryce on October 11, 2019, 5:26 am I found this clip that I had not seen before of TM returning to London after their tour of Canada in 1939. There are some interesting views of Her Majesty's hat adornments. (at 1:45 and again at 4:10) I am not sure if they are brooches or just hat decorations and wonder if they look familiar to anyone. There is also a pretty good view of the back of her Majesty's 2 strand pearl necklace - which is nice to see as we get these view so seldom. (at 4:18) p.s. there is a lovely bit (at 1:52) where Queen Mary look as if to say - "Move out of my way... I want to go see Bertie..." as up the gangway she goes....

Re: QE jewels - 1939 Posted by Beth on October 11, 2019, 7:45 am, in reply to "QE jewels - 1939" Great video thank you Bryce! I hadn't seen that one before. What Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother wore on her hat perplexed me for a long time. During the summer and autumn of 1939 QEQM wore the same hat and ensemble several times. Some photos of her on those occasion were better than others. Three of the photos I found suggested to me that the two ornaments on HM's hat were crystal ornaments rather than jewels. My internet is giving me grief this morning so, rather than risking the frustration of it dropping out while I try to post photos, I'll give this link to where I posted the photos last year.

I think that HM was wearing her Cartier paisley brooch.
