Ever since Her Majesty and the Duchess of Cambridge decided to throw all royal jewel watchers into a frenzy earlier this week, I have wondered about the recent history of the necklace?
When was the last time HM wore it in public before the Government Banquet held in Quebec in October 2002?
It seems to me that it had not been seen in quite a long time before that but, since then, has featured semi-regularly in the necklace rotation.
