The pin that you have noticed both Queen Alexandra and the Pricess Royal wearing is the flag pin for the Royal Yatching Association (or RYA). The Pricess Royal is their current patron and often wears it at their functions (sometimes combined with her gold "reef knot" brooch). I would not be suprised if QA was their patron back in the day. Attached is a picture of the RYA's former flag (it has since been re-branded). Cheers! Bryce --Previous Message-- : I found the pins while taking pictures of all : my magazines. The Queen Alexandra photos are : from Majesty Magazine V26 N11 P31 and the : Pss Anne photo is from V21 N3 P6. They may : not be the same but it is sure coincidental. : PJ : : : :
