Exhibition opens today at the Palace of Holyroodhouse on Her Majesty The Queen’s 90th birthday
This brooch will be on display at the first of three special exhibitions, Fashioning a Reign: 90 Years of Style from The Queen’s Wardrobe, opens today (Thursday, 21 April) at the Palace of Holyroodhouse on the 90th birthday of Her Majesty The Queen.
The group of outfits, which chart Her Majesty’s life and reign from childhood to the present day, and represent family, official and ceremonial occasions, is the largest display of The Queen’s dress ever shown in Scotland.
For public appearances during childhood, Princess Elizabeth and her sister Princess Margaret often wore formal dress, such as the pink, princess-line coats and matching bonnets in the exhibition. These outfits were worn by the Princesses, aged nine and five respectively, for a Service of Thanksgiving for the Silver Jubilee of their grandparents, King George V and Queen Mary, at St Paul’s Cathedral on 6 May 1935. Princess Elizabeth also wore the coat for an official visit to the Palace of Holyroodhouse with their parents King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1937.
This photograph has been released to mark Accession Day 2022: the 70th anniversary of Her Majesty’s reign and the start of her Platinum Jubilee year.
Her Majesty is seen with one of her famous red boxes. Over the past 70 years, The Queen has received daily papers from her Private Secretaries, in person or via a red despatch box. The boxes hold documents updating Her Majesty on events in Parliament as well as overseas and Commonwealth matters, and State papers requiring her signature and Royal assent.

The Queen is wearing two diamond ivy leaf clips, which were a gift from The Queen Mother for the then Princess Elizabeth’s 21st birthday.
The clips were made for Mrs. Greville by Cartier – one in 1930 and the other in 1937. They were bequeathed to The Queen Mother in 1942 and given to The Queen as a 21st birthday present by her parents.

Die Rubin Parure wurde noch von ihrem abgöttisch geliebten Ehemann Prinz Albert, ein Jahr vor seinem Tod entworfen und Königin Victoria von England zum Geschenk gemacht. Sie trug aber 10 Jahre nach seinem Tod keine Juwelen oder bunte Kleider. Erst bei der Hochzeit ihrer Tochter Louise liess sie sich dazu überreden und trug die Rubine.
Danach schenkte sie sie 1885 ihrer Tochter Prinzessin Beatrice von Battenberg zur Hochzeit. Und dann „beginnt“ das Geheimnis. Ena, Königin Victoria Eugenie von Spanien– die Enkeltochter der Queen, wurde in den 1920igern mit den Rubinen abgebildet. 1937 war zwar Prinzessin Beatrice noch am Leben, aber nahm wegen ihres hohen Alters nicht an der Krönung von König Georg VI teil.
Dafür aber ihre Schwiegertochter Irene Marchioness of Carisbrooke, die wiederum die Rubine von Schwiegermutter Prinzessin Beatrice zur Hochzeit bekam.
Aber 1933 entfernte sie die Rubine. Seither wurde das Erdbeerblatt Diadem nicht mehr gesehen – und auch das Collier „verschwand“ um diese Zeit.
1990 tauchte das Armband bei einer Versteigerung von Christies in St. Moritz auf und jetzt die dazugehörende Brosche mit einem ovalen Burma Rubin als Mittelpunkt, ein schmaler Rahmen aus Diamanten und einer grösseren mit 10 grossen Altschliffdiamanten eingefasst. Detailierte Beschreibung des Rubinschmucks – aus Erdbeerblättern ist oben über die Verlinkungen zu erfahren.
