Couple of Questions for Nellie

Earlier this evening, I was browsing through one "Diamond Jubilee" commemorative "book" (the new one out on sale at a bookstore) in which it has a lot of pictures. I did not buy that one, though.....just browsing thru it. Anyway, I have a couple of questions for you, Nellie. There are two separate pictures of Queen Mary (with two little princesses and one or both of their parents) at the Trooping of the Color parades in 1931 (shown in a carriage, I think) and 1935 (on the palace balcony). Both pictures show Queen Mary wearing her hat [not sure if it's the same hat at both times or different hats....those were black and white photos) but she had this brooch on the front side of her hat in both photos and this was the same brooch both times.....I looked at it closely and it looked like a "Prince of Wales feathers" with the crown at the top of it. Also, I noticed that one of those photos showed the Duchess of York (as the Queen Mother was then) having had a diamond brooch on the front of her hat, too, but it's not too distinctive enough for me to describe it to you right now. Do you have such pictures you could post here for me to see?? If you do, please, please?? Thanks! I am putting these questions for you since you are the most devoted Queen Mary fan here.

H Dawn. How amusing ! I shall see how many pics I can find that might fit your needs !! I assume other people can join in here too. Both ladies wore brooches on their hats so often. While I search, here is one to enjoy, which we used to refer to as road kill. --Previous Message-- : Earlier this evening, I was browsing through : one "Diamond Jubilee" : commemorative "book" (the new one : out on sale at a bookstore) in which it has : a lot of pictures.

I think the brooch you are looking for is the brooch that the present Queen now wears every year at the Trooping of the Colour. It is a large oval regimental brooch showing the emblem of each of the 5 guards regiments with a crown at the top of it. I have seen a photo of Queen Mary wearing it on her coat at the 1950 Trooping ceremony on the balcony. --Previous Message-- : Earlier this evening, I was browsing through : one "Diamond Jubilee" : commemorative "book" (the new one : out on sale at a bookstore) in which it has : a lot of pictures.

Thanks for the pics, Nellie. I've never seen B before where Queen Mary is wearing an arrow brooch similar to the one now in the Swedish royal family. It's interesting to see George V smiling so warmly in C. The only other time I've seen the brooch in E is on this portrait by Shaun Murawski for the Scottish Parliament.

guards' badge

Here Queen Mary wears the Guards' badge on her hat while watching the Royal Tournament. I can't find the pic which I thought Nellie once posted of Queen Mary standing on the Buckingham Palace balcony with a Gloucester grandson following a trooping where the brooch was worn on her dress.

In the last picture, the Duchess of York was wearing what may look like the one she wore on the front side of her hat at the balcony during the Trooping of the Color ceremony. I am not 100 percent sure if that one is the one I saw in that 'book.' Prince Michael of Kent looks a lot like King George V in those pictures you posted, Nellie. None of the brooches on Queen Mary are the ones I am talking about, though. Queen Mary wore what I am talking about during the Trooping of the Color ceremonies of those years which I have mentioned about. Although, I have enjoyed looking at your pictures. --Previous Message-- : : Do any of these fit what you were after? : : A. : : : B. : : : C. : : : D. : : : E.

Yes, that is exactly the brooch I was refering to earlier. Thanks, Baxter!! Although, I now see it does not have Prince of Wales feathers. When I saw those two pictures, at a certain angle, it looked like the Prince of Wales feathers. Do anyone in the royal family wear Queen Mary's guard badge? --Previous Message-- : : Here Queen Mary wears the Guards' badge on : her hat while watching the Royal Tournament. : : : : I can't find the pic which I thought Nellie : once posted of Queen Mary standing on the : Buckingham Palace balcony with a Gloucester : grandson following a trooping where the : brooch was worn on her dress. : :

Thanks Nellie for the picture of George Vth and Queen Mary smiling in a carriage. I love to see them both smile and it is the first time I have seen it. Also thanks Baxter for the picture of the Queen taken for the Scottish parliament. Its new to me, and again lovely to see what seems to be a natural smile. --Previous Message-- : : Thanks for the pics, Nellie. : : I've never seen B before where Queen Mary is : wearing an arrow brooch similar to the one : now in the Swedish royal family. : : It's interesting to see George V smiling so : warmly in C. : : The only other time I've seen the brooch in : E is on this portrait by Shaun Murawski for : the Scottish Parliament. : : : : :

Thank you Baxter for your pic of the "lollipop on a stick" brooch. I too really enjoy the pics of the old royals smiling, even grinning. They were totally human after all. Here is George V as an ordinary man. The smile is in the eyes and not hidden by all the facial hair. --Previous Message-- : Thanks Nellie for the picture of George Vth : and Queen Mary smiling in a carriage.
