I'm pretty sure that Princess Alexandra is wearing this splendid diamond and pearl brooch, which I understood was given her by the Queen Mother, for the 2006 Diplomatic Reception at Buckingham Palace. It is in the TV film when she is recalling going out to Nigeria in 1960 to give the country independence. --Previous Message-- : Hello, : : I am curious about a beautiful pearl and : diamond brooch which has been worn by : Princess Alexandra of Kent. It is made of a : round pearl surrounded by diamond motifs, : with five pearl pendant drops. Judging from : the style, I would say it dates back to the : first half of the 19th century. : : Strangely, all the pictures I have of this : brooch depict a young Princess Alexandra, : i.e. in the late 1950s or in the 1960s. She : does not seem to have worn this brooch since : ages. : : Does anyone know the origin and the : whereabouts of this brooch? I do not : remember of this brooch worn by Princess : Marina of Kent or any other royal ladies. : : Has anyone better pictures of this brooch? : : Thanks in advance, : : Arthur : : : : : : : : :
