With respect, I do not know what threats the Sussex children were under that they could not find Balmoral, home to the reigning Queen, or Frogmore House, which is within the secure Windor precinct, to be a secure environment. Also, H&M were already in the UK when the late QE2 passed. So I...

Might any of our royal ladies be looking, a few nice peices coming up for auction at Sotheby's. To me, they are all good value for what they are. Emerald necklace (Mathilde) https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2024/magnificent-jewels-3/emerald-and-diamond-necklace-circa-1986?locale=en...

I do hope the Cullinan V ends up being a part of Camilla's regular rotation of brooches.

I would be very happy to see Sonja in the large diamond tiara, but she does not seem to wear it much.

I agree with all your choices, other than Queen Mary. I think we will see Mary in the Pearl Poire married parure.

I also think that it was important that it be made clear for all concerned that Harry will not be representing either the Crown or the British government in Nigeria. The British Ambassador to Nigeria actually clarified that in a statement yesterday.

Jolly good of Harry to not have said anything negative about his family for 14-15 months now. Is that because he has seen the error of his ways, or merely that he has seen "his truth" not sitting well with the public and the Sussex brand being eroded as a result?

Well said!

Classic Queen Camilla look!

It is the Cullinan V indeed, last seen in her crown. I hope this open the door for more Cullinan brooches to be used.

I have no basis to go as far as that, but I can see Mary use the parure for the rest of her time as Queen. She may acquire more jewellery that may get used by her children and their spouses.

What event from 2023 did you think was a sign that the Sussexes had move on?

I am not sure if I agree. IMO, Charles is perfectly entitled to see Harry privately, it is not a matter for the public. If Harry were to be present at an occassion of state or an official engagement, that would be an entirely different matter.

I agree, I think the Crown Prncess wears the Connaught tiara very well.

Victoria would be a good purchaser and user of the tiara, IMO.
