I have been maddly updating my list trying to keep up with HM's brooch calvacade!
I keep one listing of HM's brooches that I can back-up with photographic evidence. This list stands at 163. I am sure some of the more ardent posters' lists are longer!
I also have a list of 12 brooches that I have documented but have no photos of (such as the 1952 Khrushchev brooch)
I try to keep military and association badges separately of which there are many as well.
It is nice to see some new brooches seeing the light of day either new to HM or from her Mother's collection.
I'm sure that HM has more brooches then we will ever be aware of - as is the case I suspect with most of the royal houses.
How about you Franck - have you been keeping track?
Cheers! Bryce
