It did look like the most : obvious explanation. : : : : --Previous Message-- : I cannot, obviously, comment on the security : arrangement that surround the storage and : transportation of HM's jewels. : : However, I can confirm that these the the : trays in which the jewellery is presented to : HM in her dressing-room. The jewels are not : actually stored in these trays. : : --Previous Message-- : : I like the scenes you describe Cristina. : : Strongboxes, yes. It must be very detailed : planning as you depict. : : Goodness, we (well most of us) have no idea : how the other half live! : : --Previous Message-- : Perhaps the jewels are transported in a : portable strongbox. How are jewels : transported when HM is on oficial visits? : A list of the jewelry required would have : been previously made. The correspondant : boxes would have been removed from the : safes, placed into the portable strong box. : A security agent, or a lady in waiting : acompanied by a security agent, would be : responsable for it and carry it into the : Queen's rooms. : At the required time the lady in waiting : opens the leather boxes, and removes the : jewels for HM to wear. : Just my hipothesis on how its done... : : : : : : :
