There is an evening reception tonight in our national capital so perhaps we will see one important jewel?
But I am pleased that the tour visit has been a great success and not heavily concerned with Kate's dressing. Well, perhaps George accounted for that!
--Previous Message-- : Given the nature of this tour, it seems to me : we were warned that there would not be : tuxedos or elaborate jewels. Catherine did : wear the fern leaf brooch twice in New : Zealand, just as she wore the maple leaf : brooch a few times in Canada. There may not : be a suitable choice for Australia, since : the wattle brooch is very large and ornate, : and the other Australian brooches maybe are : not seen as symbols of the country, at least : not part of the local flag. The wattle is : also a great favorite of the Queen, and she : might be more reluctant to send it on tour : with anyone else. In addition to all of : this, Catherine seems most comfortable in : her own jewelry, which is part of her life : with William and her family. :
