The state visit of the President of the Republic of Korea and his wife to the United Kingdom started today with the traditional welcoming ceremony at Horse Guards.
The Queen wore a sapphire and diamond brooch previously worn by Queen Elizabeth, but not I think by the present Queen. It is not the Albert sapphire, which does not have the golden setting around the main stone. I seem to recall this was identified as one inherited from Queen Mary and also worn by Queen Elizabeth (consort of George VI), but am not quite certain.
The Princess of Wales wore sapphire earrings an inheritance from the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
