Queen Camilla's Christmas Day brooch Posted by Beth on January 14, 2023, 2:11 pm I think that the brooch worn by Queen Camilla for the church service on Christmas Day is one originally worn by Queen Mary. A few of the experts have mentioned that it might have come from Queen Mary, but they have not given any proof. The very last image gives the best view of Queen Mary wearing the brooch.

Re: Queen Camilla's Christmas Day brooch Posted by Dave on January 14, 2023, 8:42 pm, in reply to "Queen Camilla's Christmas Day brooch" Looks like a match, so then I believe we can expect I hope much more of the late Queen Mary jewels to be outed by this present Queen Consort Camilla. How fantastic seeing that the former Queen Regnant was conservative in bringing out the old stuff. I also hope Queen Camilla brings out some of those famous pearls and emeralds reported to have been worn by the later Queen Consort' Alexandra. The late QEQM the last Queen Consort did not bring much of her predecessor's jewels to the fore either so if Camilla is going to do this, that's great. Regards, Dave.

Re: Queen Camilla's Christmas Day brooch Posted by Torkel on January 19, 2023, 7:38 am, in reply to "Queen Camilla's Christmas Day brooch" It is always difficult to be certain with old pictures and a brooch which apparently glitters quite a lot, but I would say you have match here, Beth. I am am impressed by your archive and recollection of pics from previous searches. The brooch is quite unusual. It almost looks like a belt-buckle or top of a small box. I wonder if it might have been used on the back of dresses, to secure sashes, without us noticing.

Re: Queen Camilla's Christmas Day brooch Posted by Beth on January 19, 2023, 9:30 am, in reply to "Re: Queen Camilla's Christmas Day brooch" Queen Mary had just so much jewellery that I suspect we haven't seen the majority of it all -- just the more favoured or statement pieces. The other problem is the old photos where it is so difficult to gauge what was worn!!

Re: Queen Camilla's Christmas Day brooch Posted by Kongetro on January 19, 2023, 8:39 pm, in reply to "Re: Queen Camilla's Christmas Day brooch" I had to smile when I read your suggestion that the brooch actually might have been the top of a small box of some kind. In fact I would not be surprised if that was the case. Queen Mary was such a great adapter of her jewels. When I first saw the photos of the new Queen wearing it though I instantly thought "name tag". It has got very hard edges and it's not a small "delicate" piece. Maybe it would look more fitting with a gala attire rather than daywear.
