--Previous Message-- : In other places, and it might have been a : "People" magazine, Field said that : there was approval from the palace and from : each of the various royal ladies, citing : that Princess Anne returned hers most : promptly. : : The innaccuracies in the book would, : therefore, seem to indicate that the Royal : Family themselves may not be aware of the : history of their own jewels, which is not : uncommon. I doubt if my great-niece will : know the history of a certain suite of : pearls she will ultimately inheret, for : instance. The Queen herself did not realize : that the Girls of Great Britain tiara and : her wedding bandeau went together.
