Sophie Countess of Wessex wore her clips back to back "brooch style" yesterday and I initially though The Queen was following suit today.
I first thought the HM was wearing the own Cartier clips back to back - which she does not do very often. She prefers to wear them off-set as we have often seen. Here are HM's clips back to back and a picture of her wearing them as such.
They do end up looking quite similar to The Queen Mother's brooch but I for one am glad that we have something new to chat about !!
