That is the Princess Royal and next to her was, I thought HM the Queen, but looking closer, I have to agree the pearls look much smaller, they don't fill the circles of the tiara as the ones in the Vladimir Tiara with pearls. Then comes the Duke and Duchess of Glousester, then we all know QEQM. --Previous Message-- : : Thank you Carlo for some ics that were new : to me.
