I have seen many times this photo taken during the controversial State visit of the Greek Royal couple to London in July 1963:
It is only recently that I saw this one, that shows that the Queen of Greece was wearing her huge sapphire of 478 cts. sold at an auction in recent years.
And at another official evening during the same visit she wore Queen Olga's rubies (but this is again a well known photo with the all British RF):
I think Queen Frederica also wore her emeralds during this visit, I think at the banquet held by the Lord Mayor of London in their honour.
