Re: Sothebys to auction jewels of Patricia Countess Mountbatten Posted by Dave on January 27, 2021, 2:43 am, in reply to "Sothebys to auction jewels of Patricia Countess Mountbatten" This should be interesting. I wonder if this sale is in direct relation to the U.K's dreadful inheritance tax system or if the present family has no real need for the kind of objects once held in high regard years ago. I await to see what treasures will show up. Regards, Dave.
