Thanks for the great pictures Nellie, especially those of Queen Charlotte, the detailed information re the Hanovarian claim is quite fascinating! The thing I was wondering about is the stomacher in the portraits? The sepia picture certainly features a lot of diamonds but could the decoration seen in the "original portrait" really be a stomacher or embroidery, it just looks too "together" for jewels? but of course it is a painting, so a lot is up to the artist.
