    The Royal Ladies split the big pendent brooch .
    (never noticed before , thanks to Malluu.)

    Queen Elisabeth wore the pendent on her Cartier tiara ( see picture on the balcony) and Astrid Duchess of Brabant wore the emerald brooch alone .

    Queen Elisabeth was a petite Lady, I wonder if she wore the brooch pendant on its whole version?
