    And here are better pictures of Princess Alexandra of Kent and of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester:

    Princess Alexandra of Kent wore her pearl choker with a lozenge-shaped diamond clasp and a six-petalled flower brooch (very similar to one of the Queen's brooches):

    The Duchess of Gloucester wore a pair of ruby and diamond earrings, a grey pearl necklace and, apparently, a pair of ruby and diamond clips pinned at the top of her neckline. The "brooch" she is wearing (and that helps to secure her poppies) looks like a regimental emblem rather than as a real brooch.

    I have already seen these earrings worn by the Duchess at least once (on 17 June 2014 at Royal Ascot horseraces):

    The ruby and diamond clips are new to me, though.
