It's very interesting reading all of your stories. I'm a Southern (US) boy whose interest in royal jewels is a direct result of reading Shrubbery's website many years ago. I spent a great deal of time waiting for all those pics to load on my ultra slow dial-up connection. As a child I had a passing interest in royalty. I recall checking out a library book in elementary school about Diana and reading about the sapphire engagement ring she had received a few years earlier. However, that never really sparked an interest in the Princess of Wales or her jewels. I was always more concerneded with Queen Elizabeth II and still am today. That interest was really piqued by seeing the Elizabeth R documentary made to mark her 40 years on the throne. I hope to make my first trip to England this year to see the Diamond Jubilee exhibition at Buckingham Palace.
