--Previous Message-- : James Pope Hennessy in his biography of Queen : Mary stated (p 583) 'Queen Mary wrote to the : Duke of Windsor, whose diamond Garter Star : she wished to borrow so that she might wear : it at his brother's Crowning,...' : This may be considered a silly thought, but might it have been a sentimental thing of Queen Mary to borrow her son's Garter Star? Sadly, I cant see the differences of the Garter Stars...but there might some be, it's only my eyes aren't good enough.
