In the thread below, I mentioned that Princess Elizabeth was given 5 large diamonds after opening a Graving Dock in South Africa in early March 1947. According to Roberts (and The Times) the Princess exclamation of delight was picked up by a nearby microphone. In the London Illustrated News 22 March 1947 p 284 there is a photograph of these diamonds. They are large. I do not have a web account for photos, so could someone post the image please. As far as I am aware the two half moon diamonds do not appear in any jewellery the Queen wears publicly.
