Very interesting, thank you Laura. Because of the access the author had to archival papers, I am inclined to accept that Mrs Greville gave the 3 strand pearl necklace to QEQM in 1936, even though I recollect others disputing that. Great to read the actual quotes. I don't recollect Shawcross having said anything about jewels over the value of one hundred pounds, although he too speaks of 60 pieces -- so this author obviously had access to the will.
