I noticed in one of the pictures posted by Arthur that the Queen is wearing the lower part of Queen Mary's diamond stomacher, and that she's wearing it in the proper place and not on her shoulder as she used to do in her youth. I think she has rarely worn it properly as a stomacher. --Previous Message-- : Actually, these earrings were worn several : times by Queen Elizabeth II, and also by : Queen Alexandra. I have no pictures of Queen : Mary or Queen(-Mother) Elizabeth wearing : them. : : 1902: King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra's : Coronation.
