Re: necklace Duchess of Kent Posted by Beth on June 12, 2020, 1:19 pm, in reply to "necklace Duchess of Kent" The Duchess of Kent was photographed on two separate occasions wearing the same dress and necklace in 1969: during the Kents Australian tour of August 1969 and at a theatre in London in late October 1969. London 20 October 1969 In this photo from the same occasion, a glimpse of the rear of the necklace can be seen. The Duchess also wore the necklace in Australia in August 1969. Both details are from the same occasion. Sorry that the images a bit more than blurry! I have never seen any information about the origins of the necklace, nor have I noticed it on other ladies in the Kent family. Some how I very much doubt if it belonged to QEII or was a gift from the King of Saudia Arabia, as I don't think that the Duke and Duchess ever made an official visit there. But that is all just speculation on my part.

Re: Duchess of Kent Necklace? Posted by The Royal Watcher on June 14, 2020, 4:33 pm, in reply to "Re: necklace Duchess of Kent" Is this the same necklace worn by the Duchess at the Battle of Waterloo 150th Anniversary Banquet in 1965?

Re: Duchess of Kent Necklace? Posted by Beth on June 14, 2020, 5:47 pm, in reply to "Re: Duchess of Kent Necklace?" I looked at that photo when I was trying to see if the Duchess had worn the necklace at other times, but could not decide if it was the same or not. I also tried to find other images from the same event, but although some of the newspapers showed photos of the Duke dancing with Queen Paola, I couldn't find another of the Duchess. I wish we had access to a sharper image! If the Duchess was wearing it to the Waterloo Ball then it suggests that she owned the necklace and that it was not a borrowed item. Strange that we haven't seen it more frequently. The necklace is a real mystery.

Re: Duchess of Kent Necklace? Posted by Stefan on June 14, 2020, 9:07 pm, in reply to "Re: Duchess of Kent Necklace?" From what one can see in the pic posted by the RoyalWatcher i would say it is not the same necklace. But then the pic is not too clear and the Duchess is quiet small in the pic. If the Duchess owned the necklace could it perhaps have been broken up annd used to create her new diamond fringe pearl tiara. From the pics we have seen she has worn i with the tiara which we assume was used to create this tiara.

The Duchess's own family were wealthy..her mother especially came from a Rich background...perhaps the necklace was borrowed from that side of the family Previous Message From what one can see in the pic posted by the RoyalWatcher i would say it is not the same necklace.
