Arthur, that seems likely.
In the past I have been intrigued by the number of times Princess Marina wore pairs of brooches.

: According to Field, the Queen Mother's brooch

: Princess Marina's death (on the picture

: It is possible that Cartier (by whom both
: King George VI and his brother the Duke of

: I doubt that they would have both had the
