I know all the fAnnedom will know this already but I saw Savannah’s phone case. Imagine if you were one of Princess Anne’s descendants and had to come out to her that you don’t really like horses. Immediately shunned.
In 1831, King William IV, uncle of Queen Victoria, commissioned Rundell and Bridge to make a necklace for his wife, Queen Adelaide.
At 46cm in length, the necklace was made up of of 133 sections, consisting a total of 1,456 stones, which had been taken out of redundant pieces of jewellery owned by King George III and Queen Charlotte.
Upon the death of her husband, Adelaide gave the necklace to the new monarch, Queen Victoria.
On 15th November 1837, Victoria wore the necklace, which she had created into a tiara, to one of her first visits to the theatre as Queen.
In the 1858 inventory of jewels, the necklace was recorded to be considered a heirloom of the Crown.
Elizabeth, the Queen Mother had the fringe remade into a necklace, adding a "concealed snap". Although her husband died in 1952, Elizabeth was allowed to keep the necklaces along with other pieces of jewellery. However, after her death in 2002, they were returned to the crown.
Unfortunately Queen Elizabeth Il never wore the necklace publicly.
