Thanks and congratulations to Franck for identifying the turquoise shamrock brooch of the Duchess of Portland! Great find! I think the brooch on the right of the Portland shamrock brooch, on the picture of Queen Elizabeth II's wedding gifts posted by Franck and Beth, is the same as the brooch worn by Queen Elizabeth II on her corsage on 25th March 1959, when she attended a banquet and ball for the 16th/5th Royal Lancers Regiment - so it is probably the badge of this regiment. According to Wikipedia, Queen Elizabeth II became colonel-in-chief of the 16th/5th Royal Lancers Regiment as soon as 1947, so it is a good match for a wedding gift.
