QEII wedding gift from George VI's Scottish Medical Household Posted by Beth on November 28, 2021, 4:00 pm As far as I know no one has ever identified what the wedding gift from George VI's Medical Household was. Recently, I found an item which said it was a "gold and Cairngorm brooch" I wonder if that was the brooch which Queen Elizabeth wore to the Opening of the Scottish Parliament in 1999?

Now that I have read the Queen's Jewel Vault site from your link, it all came back to me. I really should have checked!! I am lucky that I can blame age and the news of the latest covid variant for my absent mindedness. Or can I???
