Origin of Princess Anne's festoon necklace Posted by Beth on June 4, 2020, 5:45 pm In a post below, Thomas mentioned the possibility that Princess Anne's festoon necklace, which Leslie Field said the Queen and Duke gave her for her 18th birthday, might have evolved from the wedding gift which the Thakore of Gondal gave to Queen Mary in 1893. Thomas' post (for any who missed it) https://mb.boardhost.com/historyroyaljewels/msg/1591123555.html In his post Thomas included a link to an earlier post https://mb.boardhost.com/historyroyaljewels/thread/1566356822.html In this post, Dave was the first to mention on the board that Queen Mary's necklace might have been the basis for Princess Anne's festoon necklace. My apologies Dave for saying the other day that I thought Franck was the first to mention this. He had mentioned it to me in a private correspondence. In his post Thomas asked if anyone knew when Princess Anne was first seen to wear the necklace, as her aunt, Princess Mary, Princess Royal, had died a few years before Princess Anne's 18th birthday -- which makes it possible for the basis of the necklace having gone back to the main line of the royal family. The earliest date I can find for a photograph of Princess Anne wearing this necklace is 1970. 1970 To assist people to decide what they think, below is the sketch I found of the gift given to Queen Mary. And some better photos of Princess Anne's necklace I am looking forward to seeing what others think. Has Princess Anne's necklace evolved from the gift given to Queen Mary? Or is it a different jewel entirely?

I believe the necklace is the same one QM had in her possession. Maybe it was quietly sold to HM by her aunt 'PMPR' or maybe it had a codicil on it for same to be returned to the main line of the RF or maybe the PR left it for HM. I am sure I read somewhere that PM the PR resented the fact that her brother who abdicated did not take up the throne and same having to be passed to her younger brother the Queen's father.
