QE II's photos and questions
Posted by Franck on December 17, 2019, 8:55 pm
Just to share few photos :
1° The smaller Collet Necklace worn as Princess Elizabeth and at the opening ceremony for the London Olympics.
It must be a gift from Queen Mary or her parents :
2° The Teck circle tiara/necklace worn by QEQM
I do not understand why this huge diamond necklace/tiara left the main branch :
3° Unknown brooch and precious stones - any idea ?
4° Unknown brooch worn by QEII
Her Majesty the Queen heading back to Windsor castle from the Royal Chapel of All Saints attending a church service, 15 th December 2019.
5° Princess Diana wearing the fake? choker (and demi-parure).
Very interesting finds and questions here Franck. The great Teck circle necklace/ tiara was I believe in the collection of the former Princess Royal and may have passed back to the main line as the tiara now seen on the DoCam. But they are some suggestions that same is still being held by her son the earl of Snowdonia.
Regards,
Dave.

Your second last photo of QEII has me intrigued. I have never seen that brooch before. Do you have a date for the photo?
Re the last photo of QEII. I wonder if HM was wearing a badge of some description? A military one perhaps? It is unknown to me. I wish there was a more front facing view of it.
