Thank you for these great photos Sal, I have again tired to use my photobucket account without success! My reason for trying was to show the photo I have which, according to the Illustrated London News, shows Queen Juliana arriving at the return dinner at Claridge's Hotel. The image shows the Queen with the same jewels as those in the photo Sal posted. My understanding is that these images are from the return banquet. Is it possible that HM wore the same jewels for the two dinners? Or are the photos of Queen Juliana from the same evening? I haven't done a search to see what jewels HM is said to have worn for the UK State banquet but I suspect that HM would have worn different jewels on each evening. I am intrigued. Queen Juliana wore a very grand parure for the dinner hosted by the Netherlands; I wonder what jewels she wore for the state banquet hosted by the British? --Previous Message-- : A few more: : : Arrival at Waterloo Station by the royal : family. princess Margaret curtseying. : : : : Prince Bernhard greeting queen Elizabeth at : Claridges : : : : Queen Juliana in the limo on her way to the : state banquet. : : : : : --Previous Message-- : What a great photo from the UK visit, thank : you Sal. : : I had been trying for the last half hour to : upload a rather poor photo of HM arriving : for the return dinner in the UK. : : Thankfully, Sal posted a much better photo. : : Unfortunately, I have never seen photos from : the UK State banquet in 1950.
