Theroyal family’s jewelrycollection contains some of the most stunning pieces in the world.
So, what happened to Queen Elizabeth’s jewelry after she died?
The jewel holds special significance to Charlotte, being an emblem that has been passed through generations of Windsors.
The brooch was first bequeathed to The Queen Mother by her mother-in-law, Queen Mary.
The Queen Mother then gave it to her daughter, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was famed for her love of horses, and her great-granddaughter shares this equine passion.
It’s also been suggested that Charlotte may eventually inherit the queen’s engagement ring.
He has also inherited priceless heirlooms that relate directly to his role as reigning monarch.
Controversially, he also inherited the Cullinan diamond, the largest in the world.
The diamond was eventually passed down to Queen Elizabeth II when she ascended the throne.
Charles' subsequent possession of it has led to calls for him to return it.
As queen consort, Camilla can be expected to wear it for future state opening of parliament ceremonies.
“There are pieces which will remain for use of the reigning monarch’s wife in this case Camilla.
“In 1953, a third three-stand pearl necklace joined her collection.
Clearly enamored by the heirloom, Elizabeth wore it on her wedding day later that year.
[It was] one of the late monarch’s most valuable brooches.”
Camilla wore the accessory to Easter service in 2024.
Indeed, the earrings have been passed down throughout royal generations.
“Mrs Greville has left me her jewels … dear old thing, and I feel very touched …
Her daughter, Elizabeth, often wore the earrings, most notably during her coronation portrait.
Elizabeth wore the ring along with her gold wedding band, which contained a secret message from Philip.
“No one knows what it says, other than the engraver, the Queen and her husband.”
However, the queen was buried with her wedding ring, so its hidden message remains a secret forevermore.
Royal experts have suggested that the engagement ring was inherited by Princess Anne.
It was one of the monarch’s most exquisite not to mention expensive pieces.
At the queen’s funeral in 2022, Princess Catherine was seen wearing the stunning choker.
It wasn’t the first time she had worn the necklace, however.
Famously, Catherine wore the tiara when she wed Prince William in 2011.
In 1936, King George VI bought the tiara for his wife, Elizabeth, Queen Consort, i.e.
the future Queen Mother.
She passed it down to her daughter, Elizabeth, when she turned 18 in 1944.
