Here is Princess Thyra, Duchess of Cumberland wearing Hanoverian claim jewels, I believe. Perhaps they are the pearls?
--Previous Message-- : The Australian papers in 1858 also mention a : strand of pearls which had to be returned to : Hanover, but not at the value given in one : of the items you posted Dawn. : For example see : : http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/60426932?searchTerm=Queen%20Hanover&searchLimits=exactPhrase : |||anyWords|||notWords|||requestHandler|||dateFrom=1857-01-01|||dateTo=1858-12-31|||l-advcategory=Article|||sortby : It appears that we might have another : mystery to solve. : From reading the media items, it would : appear that it was Queen Charlotte's jewels : which were in dispute and not those of : subsequent queens.
