How about a link to Queen Mary through a maple leaf brooch worn in Canada recently by HM Queen Elizabeth II ?
Here is the link to the short thread in the Royal Jewels of the World Message Board -http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/1278965332.html
(The link will expire eventually because that board does not keep our stuff forever.)
Why is that,
BTW? RJOTW would be a repository as helpful as the AP forum is, in terms of photographs!
Citar:
The brooch had been a gift to Queen Mary when she visited Canada in 1901.
Oh, thanks for reminding me of that visit! I recall King George had a certain kind of snobbish delight in never having stepped on US soil. At least, this is what the Duke of Windsor writes in his memoirs (the Duke never let an opportunity go by without slamming the memory of his father).
But as you remind us, he and Queen Mary were not entirely foreign to the North American continent.
Thanks for the link, Nellie! And thanks Bvlgari for uploading the pics here. I'll comment shortly.
