What do others wish to see QEII wearing for her Christmas Day broadcast? Posted by Beth on December 23, 2019, 8:18 pm I thought that, for once, I would break with the board's theme and ask what others would like to see QEII wear for her Christmas Day broadcast. I know that many are very interested in what HM wears from year to year. Has anyone ever noticed a pattern to what QEII wears? Is there some link to something which has happened during the year which might influence HM's choice. Or do posters think that HM's choice is random? A matter of her personal whim?

I am very eager to see the "Maltese" aquamarine or sapphire worn once by QEII at Sandringham or a new brooch from her mother such as the diamond circle brooch,the emerald and diamond palm tree brooch, Queen Victoria's small ruby crown brooch or the A sapphire corsage brooch given as a wedding gift by Queen Mary Franck Previous Message I thought that, for once, I would break with the board's theme and ask what others would like to see QEII wear for her Christmas Day broadcast.

Something very old from her great grandmother or her grandmother like the massive star brooch at the center of QA's decolletage in picture below. http://theenchantedmanor.com//wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Queen-Alexandra-coronation-jewelry.jpg Or the bow on her dress with a cabochon colored stone at it's center. Or the two stone brooch with pearl attached worn by QM in picture below. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f1/94/9e/f1949e7f7cf740ee0945e891ff8fbe83.jpg How about it. Regards, Dave.

The star brooch is the centre of Queen Victoria’s Cockade Brooch and the the second brooch is thought to have been made into a pair of earrings sometimes worn by the duchess of Cambridge, though this is not definite.

HM wore the Albert sapphire brooch Posted by Beth on December 27, 2019, 7:41 am, in reply to "Re: What do others wish to see QEII wearing for her Christmas Day broadcast?" I am sure that by now many will know that Queen Elizabeth II wore the large sapphire brooch Prince Albert gave to Queen Victoria as a wedding present. Recently, our fellow poster, ErikS provided us with some major new information about the origin of this brooch. For any who might have missed Erik's post here is the direct link to his research site. https://www.erikschoonhoven.nl/royal-jewels/the-origins-of-queen-victoria-s-wedding-brooch Congratulations again ErikS!
