The visit began with a tour of the Palace Picture Gallery, followed by a state banquet.
While she didn’t wear the matching earrings, the accessories were of great importance to the queen.
The necklace and earrings were a wedding gift from her father, King George VI.
The necklace was made into a tiara by fixing it to a frame.
When the queen wore these items, they were collectively called the King George VI Victorian Suite.
She last wore this jewelry set in 2020 for her Canadian portrait (via theGovernment of Canada).
The tiara was made in 1914 for Queen Elizabeth II’s grandmother.
Talk about deep history!
