Dear all, Please note that I have found an other mystery concerning the turquoise and shamrock brooch given by the Dowager Duchess of Portland. Our fellow poster Arthur raised the question few months ago. Please find below his post : http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/archive/1412290190.html I have seen a better photo of the wedding gift given to Princess Elizabeth in 1947 in the same site. I can know confirm that the brooch worn by the Duchess of Cornwall is the brooch given as a wedding to Princess ELizabeth in 1947 by the Dowager Duchess of Portland. Please find below the photo of the wedding gift (on the site we can screen the photo and clearly see the card). [img][/img] the brooch is below (on the right) to the burnese necklace. Franck --Previous Message-- : The Times 17 Apr 1923 p 17 describes her gift : as a diamond brooch. : : --Previous Message-- : Stuart's fabulous find of the photos is : going : to overturn a lot of long held beliefs about : who gave what to QEQM as wedding presents. : : Two of the most interesting are -- : : 1 That the lace bow brooch which people : formerly thought had been presented by King : George was given by her godmother, Mrs : Arthur James. : : : : I notice that the Times list of 24 April : 1923 does not mention a separate brooch : (apart from in the turquoise suite) as : having formed part of the King's gift. : : : : : 2. That the brooch which HM normally wore on : her hat in the 1920s : : : : Was given by the Princess Royal and Princess : Maud : : : According to the Times it was a sapphire and : diamond brooch. I suspect that the sapphire : was a pale colour blue. : : : : : :
