Point taken LDMJ. Because you used the words "bequeathed it to her daughter the then
Queen Elizabeth", I assumed you meant it was left to QEQM through her mother's will. My apologies for misunderstanding your meaning. Sometimes our different cultural ways of using the English language causes confusions.
