Unless we have an image of the brooch given to QEII by the Duke of Portland on the occasion of her wedding, I do not think we can draw such a conclusion. There are several more likely possibilities. 1 Prince Charles may have given the brooch to his wife to complement the necklace and earring set she has. 2. As Bryce mentioned, the brooch may have some link to the dowager Duchess of Devonshire. Arthur, I am sorry to disagree with you, but I cannot find anything odd in the Duchess of Cornwall wearing a coloured jewel to a funeral. It is not as if it is outrageously flamboyant. I acknowledge that my thinking comes from the modern idea that we celebrate the life of the departed.
