    The will of Queen Charlotte, which is so important to the Hanoverian Claim.

    Information from George III & Queen Charlotte, Patronage, Collecting and Court Taste edited by Jane Roberts, Royal Collection Publications, 2004

    The will divided her jewels in three groups -
    1. The hereditary jewels from the collection of George II
    2. The jewels 'Presented to me by the Nabob of Arcot'
    3. The Queen's remaining jewels.
