Re: Queries for Franck about Princess Diana's jewels. 6 row pearl choker Posted by Beth on August 23, 2021, 4:31 pm, in reply to "Re: Queries for Franck about Princess Diana's jewels. 6 row pearl choker" At the time when Princess Diana wore the choker, the press in Australia reported that the choker was borrowed from a friend. I suspect that may be so as it has not been seen on any other British royal lady. I think she may have worn the same choker to the Opening of Parliament in 1981. What do others think?

The date would be a bit out but Field has many inaccuracies; otherwise the description seems to fit. If it had been borrowed from the Queen I think Field would have mentioned it, so I've always assumed Field meant borrowed from outside the royal family.
