Did Queen Margrethe's pearl brooch belong to Duchess of Connaught?Archived Message

Last year there was a discussion on Queen Margrethe's pearl brooch, which she received for her 18th birthday from her great aunt, Lady Patricia Ramsay.
There is a group photo of the Connaught family taken in 1893 (see p51 of Zeepvat's, 'Queen Victoria's Family'), in which the Duchess of Connaught seems to be wearing the same brooch.
I'm not sure how to post photos, so I wondered if someone was able to post a picture of the Duchess in this family sitting alongside a picture of Queen Margrethe wearing the brooch (also not sure how to link to the old thread from June 2013).
Does anyone else think its a match? If so, its nice to think that Queen Margrethe has her great grandmother's brooch.
