Which brooch will Queen Elizabeth wear for her Chrustmas Day message Posted by Mike on December 21, 2020, 7:54 am For something different I thought it might be a bit of fun to try and gues the brooch. I am thinking something very family related and very personal. I am tipping either:- Ruby Grima brooch gifted by Prince Philip. Sapphire brooch worn to her engagement announcement. Last option the Flower Basket brooch given to her by her parents on the birth of Prince Charles. My hunch is the Ruby Grima brooch. Mike

Re: Which brooch will Queen Elizabeth wear for her Chrustmas Day message Posted by Beth on December 21, 2020, 8:31 am, in reply to "Which brooch will Queen Elizabeth wear for her Chrustmas Day message" I suspect you are correct Mike and that QEII will choose an item with a personal meaning. But HM wore the sapphire for her recent wedding anniversary photos and the flower basket 3 days ago for a "virtual audience" for new ambassadors. So I think that the Grima brooch is a definite possibility. On the other hand, I think that HM's dress colour will be something soothing/calming, which might rule out the Grima. Perhaps HM will choose something historic which connects the various generations and may opt for one of Queen Victoria's pearl brooches or some belonging to Queen Mary.

However it would be also likely to be something recently worn as I doubt the jewell pool has been possibly updated since the lockdown. However this could also help with the age old theory of are particular jewels kept at particular locations.
