Also these days I think the Queen and all the Royals are cautious not to wear too many jewels too often. So they are not flashing a lot of jewels and riches at us that would encourage criticism about their wealth and costs to us.

: I don't think it has anything to do with

: days. Plus of course, she does not - at her
: age - do those long tours any more. There is
: no need for extended trips as tours are now
: done by air and not by ship (which was
: mainly the reason for the length of time the
: tour took) But I don't have any doubt that
: if HM did go on a similar extended
: excursion, she would still take as many
: jewels as she wanted to without anyone
: applying any restrictions.
