Fair : enough. : : Particular heirlooms of the crown which the : Queen Mother hung onto, and some of Queen : Mary's jewels, have returned to the Queen : and the Queen has worn quite a number of : them now. : : I always felt that Camilla jumped the gun in : wearing the Durbar tiara (Queen Mary's), : before entitlements had been sorted out and : agreed. : Just my speculation of course. : : --Previous Message-- : Queen Mary passed a lot of things down : directly to her granddaughter, and of course : Queen Elizabeth as reigning monarch got : whatever was in the official pool when she : ascended the throne.
