The Queen wears a different brooch for this reception at the Palace. I cannot work out which brooch it is. My printer on the blink. Sorry no photo.

What reception is this? I can't work out your "GG" abbreviation. What date is it from please so that we can check it out? --Previous Message-- : The Queen wears a different brooch for this : reception at the Palace.

I believe so. I read that the Australian Governor General attended a reception. --Previous Message-- : Governors-General perhaps? : : --Previous Message-- : What reception is this?

Apparently a reception for Commonwealth Governor Generals at Buckingham Palace yesterday is what Joye meant – best pic I could find: (To Joye: You really don't need a printer to post pics... don’t you just want to give it a try and first save, then host pics on one of the free picture hosting sites to post them here?) --Previous Message-- : what is she wearing? blue suit? : : : : --Previous Message-- : The Queen wears a different brooch for this : reception at the Palace.

...and another brooch I’m not familiar with, this time in sapphires and diamonds, at lunch with Commonwealth Nations Heads of Government and representatives of the Commonwealth today: --Previous Message-- : Apparently a reception for Commonwealth : Governor Generals at Buckingham Palace : yesterday is what Joye meant – best pic I : could find: : (To Joye: You really don't need a printer to : post pics... don’t you just want to give it : a try and first save, then host pics on one : of the free picture hosting sites to post : them here?) : : : : : --Previous Message-- : what is she wearing? blue suit? : : : : --Previous Message-- : The Queen wears a different brooch for this : reception at the Palace.

The one worn yesterday looks like the Cullinan V. Today's is not worn very often.

Thank you, Boris. It's nice to see the dress that went with the coat worn to the other events of the day. I wonder whether this Cullinan brooch was under the other one throughout, or whether she pinned it on before the reception. jinja

Isn't today's brooch a different one than the brooch in your pic of the Queen in pink? Clearer view: --Previous Message-- : : : The one worn yesterday looks like the : Cullinan V. Today's is not worn very often. : : :

Looks like it could be the Cullinan V although it seems a bit small - not too clear... --Previous Message-- : Thank you, Boris.

I didn't think it was that one! Looked rather different in the first photos, but I suppose it could be (just the angle that makes the difference isn't it). Does anyone know anything about it? I've seen it worn a couple of times but have no history for the brooch. --Previous Message-- : : : The one worn yesterday looks like the : Cullinan V. Today's is not worn very often. : : :

Its look does vary greatly depending upon the angle.

Thanks for the comparison - surprising how different one piece can look isn't it. --Previous Message-- : : Its look does vary greatly depending upon : the angle. : : : : : :
