    Hello Joye,

    I have no information about this leek badge, and whether the Guards were invited to contribute financially to it.

    It is interesting to note that this samll brooch/badge was worn by Queen Elizabeth II, Diana Princess of Wales and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall (so, one of the very few jewels which have been worn by Prince Charles' both wives).
