I wondered about the clasp in that photo Arthur. It is very frustrating that Getty chose to put their watermark in that particular spot.
On reflection, I suspect that it is a different clasp.
Your suggestion has merit. How I would like to see a photo free of that watermark.
I don't think that QEII commenced wearing that brooch until after QEQM's death, so she may have inherited it from her mother.
