    I have made a collage with enlargements of pictures of the leek badges worn by Queen Elizabeth II, Diana, Princess of Wales, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall:



    Because of the enlargements, the pictures are a bit blurry, but anyway, I think it can be a good basis for a discussion. My feeling (contrary to what I suggested in the previous thread about these badges in October 2014) is that the three badges are different: as we can see above, the shapes, lengths, curves and directions of the "tails" of each leek (is that the right word in English?) look slightly different. And contrary to the Queen's and Diana's all-diamond badges, Camilla's badge looks as if it has a golden "bulb" at the bottom of the leek.

    So we can conclude that each of the three royal ladies had her own leek badge from the Welsh Guards - and that William/Catherine or Prince Harry have Diana's leek badge in store for future use...

    What do you think?
