Thank you Carlo for some ics that were new to me. I'm not sure who's who in the third pic. The lady wearing the fringe would be the then Princess Royal, Countess of Harewood. But is the next Queen Elizabeth II? Is that the Vladimir tiara? If so the pearls look tiny. --Previous Message-- : 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. : : (Thanks to Getty Images) : : :
