I had the precedent of 2012 (and the pic you posted) in my mind when I asked about the necklace. I was hoping that the same would happen this year. I was even dreaming (but not seriously expecting) that the Queen, while leaving the ceremony without her Thistle robes, would display for our pleasure the Greville emerald necklace from her mother! Just a dream, of course... --Previous Message-- : : The rubies are an interesting choice. : : HM does not usually wear a necklace under : the Thistle or Garter robes.
