HRH's Maple Leaf Brooch is beautiful and it's the first time I've been able to see a closer photo of it. The sapphire/gold demi parure is gorgeous. Thanks so much Bryce. The Princess Royal, as the rest of the Royal Family, hold Canada close to their hearts. For Princess Anne to visit on the heels of the terrible double tragedies in Ottawa and Quebec made it very poignant and special.
