There was a picture & mention of this brooch in a book put out by Royal Collection Publications for the Diamond Jubilee, along with photos of a lot of items used by The Queen over the years, such as saddles, dresses etc... & quite a few of her jewels such as the Williamson pink diamond brooch & the bracelet designed by Prince Philip for their 5th wedding anniversary so it looks like it would be still with the Queen, only it seems odd that she hasn`t been seen to wear it for so long.

: As far as I know, Queen Elizabeth II has not
: worn this brooch since her teenage years -
: at least, I do not have later pictures of
: her wearing it (but if anyone has a picture
: proving I am wrong about this, please post
: it! ). Which is a pity, as this brooch is
: really lovely.
:
: I have not seen this brooch worn by any of
: the Queen's daughter or daughters-in-law
: either, so I think we can suppose that it is
: still in the Queen's possession.

: Thanks everyone. Nellie's lovely big picture
: shows just how gorgeous the brooch is. I
: especially love the carved leaves. It is
: just so naturalistic. I much prefer it to
: the well known and often worn Flower Basket
: Brooch. Like Arthur, I hope there is another
: picture of the Queen wearing it. Given that
: she is quite sentimental with her jewellery
: choices, I can't help wondering if the
: Flower Basket could have replaced the
: Jardiniere which I hope was not lost at some
: point - just conjecture of course.
