Meghan’s Agony: Queen’s Jewelry Collection Passed Down to Royal Family Members
The Queen's extensive jewelry collection, consisting of 300 pieces, is now being distributed among members of the royal family.
However, the recipients of these precious items depend on whether Her Majesty personally owned them.
While some possessions will be passed directly to King Charles, others may be given as personal gifts to other royals.
It is important to note that much of what the Queen possessed was not actually hers alone but belonged to the Crown.
In such cases, these items would automatically go to the new monarch, as is the case with Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.
However, Balmoral was solely owned by the Queen, granting her the authority to decide its recipient.
Additionally, a significant portion of her jewelry collection is part of the royal collection and will therefore be inherited by Charles, according to Hullo!
magazine.
It is speculated that Her Majesty owned a total of 98 brooches and 46 necklaces among her 300 pieces of jewelry.
Not only will the Queen's personal items be distributed within the family, but a similar practice was observed when Prince Philip passed away in 2021.
For instance, the late Duke of Edinburgh gave his personal driving carriage to Lady Louise Windsor, as it was a shared passion between them.
Furthermore, the Queen's beloved corgis, Mick and Sandy, will find a new home with Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
These two puppies were given to Her Majesty by her middle son to uplift her spirits during Prince Philip's hospitalization.
Sadly, Fergus, one of the corgis, passed away in May 2021, just a month after the Duke's demise, leaving the Queen devastated.
On what would have been the Duke's 100th birthday in June, Sandy was presented to the Queen.
As for the Queen's cherished pony, Emma, her future residence remains unknown.
Reports suggest that she may be relocated to equestrian-loving Princess Anne or Zara Tyndall.
In other news, Princess Anne, as Commodore-in-Chief Portsmouth, will express her gratitude to the armed forces involved in the Queen's funeral during her visit to Portsmouth Naval Base and St Omer Barracks, Aldershot.
Her visit will include meeting Royal Navy personnel who participated in the funeral procession.
Meanwhile, the Earl of Wessex, in his role as Royal Colonel of 2nd Battalion the Rifles and Royal Honorary Colonel of the Royal Wessex Yeomanry, will visit troops deployed in Estonia and Germany to acknowledge their service to the monarchy and the country.
His itinerary includes meeting with 2 Rifles personnel in Tollern, Estonia, to express gratitude for their support to UK military operations, their service to the Queen as Commander-in-Chief, and their dedication to King Charles as Head of the Armed Forces.
He will then travel to Paderborn, Germany, to visit troops from the Royal Wessex Yeomanry stationed at the Normandy Barracks and pay tribute to their ongoing service abroad.
Meanwhile, Australia is observing a National Day of Mourning for the Queen, marked by a National Memorial Service at Parliament House in Canberra.
The Royal Family continues its period of mourning, which will be observed until seven days after the funeral.
During this time, members of the Royal Family are not expected to engage in official duties, and flags at Royal Residences will remain at half-mast until 8 am on Tuesday, following the final day of Royal Mourning.
