[@topcat9852]

@@barbraseville8984 too right. After meeting Wallis Simpson, the Duke of Windsor focussed his entire life on buying her affection. There was no flair, artistry or imagination involved in his choice of jewellery for her. I have no doubt that she told him what she wanted and he bought it for her with money he had conned out of British people through lying to his brother George VI or pimped off his rich friends. He was lazy and stupid. Apparently, his brother Prince George was just as bad. In spite of all those rocks he created a living hell for his wife with his shenanigans. He was also believed to be a German spy. Windsor was a Nazi sympathiser and so was Wallis. He said that Hitler should bomb the hell out of London on the promise that she would be made queen and presumably have all the royal jewellery to herself. This was an informative piece but the politics and characteristics of those involved is also interesting and would make the rest of us feel less like wide eyed plebs.

Lady Sarah Chatto, styled as a daughter of the first Earl of Snowdon, takes her surname from her husband, Mr Daniel Chatto. Snowdon - the earldom of which is now the title of her brother, has never formed part of her name, which was Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones prior to her marriage - Armstrong-Jones being her father's surname. Neither is she "of Snowdon," in the way that Prince Andrew's daughters were "of York," prior to their marriages, nor "of Sussex," in the way that Prince Harry's children now are or indeed, Lady Louise Windsor would now be "of Edinburgh," of she chose to use her princely style and titual dignity of HRH.

[@lsmith9249]

you're right about everything else except about Lady Louise, our late Queen put a note in Letters Patent and it was agreed in 1999 that any children of Edward and Sophie's would not have royal styles and titles and would have the courtesy titles as sons and daughters of an Earl (now a Duke) and theres been no such thing as being able to choose to use a royal title later if she had a royal title it would have been hers and also james from birth the press didn't like it at the time

[@Gancanna]

@@lsmith9249 I had wondered why 'of Edinburgh' had not been added to Lady Louise's name after her father became Duke of Edinburgh. That would be in line with Prince William's children's name being changed from 'of Cambridge' to 'of Wales.' It occurred to me while reading your comment that she has never been known as Lady Louise of Wessex. Suddenly, the lack of that of that phrase made sense, it's a royal style rather than showing she is the child of a person with a particular title. Lady, of course, is a courtesy title to daughters of Earls and Dukes (among others), so that custom won't change unless further Letters of Patent are drawn up in the future.

[@ukmary1968]

You’re incorrect. They were given HRH Prince/Princess at birth. Edward and Sophie chose not to use them, instead allowing their children to choose when they’re adults. Hence the use of Lady and Viscount. Any child of a monarch, will use Prince/Princess. But their kids (monarch’s grandchildren) only get the Prince/Princess title if they are from the male heir. So Princess Ann refused titles but Peter and Zara would not have been Prince/Princess. QEII would have given them other titles. I hope that helps.

[@paulharvey9149]

@@ukmary1968 I'm pretty sure that's what I said - I certainly intended to! But not to worry - we're of a like mind! It is unlikely that Peter and Zara would have been given personal titles by HM though - the mechanism would have been to create an Earldom for their father. It is the titles of children of an Earl (and now Duke), that Louise and James have - though Louise has (and James will have on his birthday next year) the choice to add HRH and Princess/Prince, should they wish to. The real test might be how Louise's occupation is described on her marriage certificate, if that becomes applicable. I'm sure their York and (then) Wales cousins were described in the traditional wordings.

No wonder Queen Elizabeth only gives marrying in women 'permanent loan' of the jewellery, so when they die, it comes back to the royal house, as so much has been gifted away, then they give to their daughter, who marries elsewhere and it goes with them and is lost the the Queens collection forever!!

[@davidrubin8228]

Also, when the Russian Imperial family members had to sell jewelry to meet their expenses, Queen Mary bought them from her relatives as "discount" prices. As such Queen Mary was very keen to see these pieces NOT go elsewhere and to stay in the Family. This is why QEII only permanently loaned the pieces to her female royal relatives so that they would not be "cast out" again.

This was a very excellent post! I had never heard that Queen Mary had given any jewels to Wallis Simpson. Queen Mary was so proper that I've no doubt she felt it was her duty to send a gift, even though she sent it indirectly. Ostensibly, she gifted the necklace to her son, but both of them knew it was meant for Wallis. I was wondering about the Kent festoon tiara that Princess Michael wears and which I thought was also a gift from Queen Mary, but you didn't mention it. Maybe it was given to Princess Marina later on during her marriage and not at the wedding? I don't think that was the tiara given to her by the City of London because I thought that was a fringe tiara and the one I'm thinking about its more of a festoon.

[@JewelryJourneys-lq1jl]

Yes, you are right. The Fringe Tiara was given as a wedding gift from the City of London. However, the origin of the Kent Festoon Tiara is shrouded in mystery. It does not appear to have been a wedding gift. I also could not find any information suggesting that it was a gift from Queen Mary. There is speculation that it might have been a gift from the Duke, but it is unknown exactly when the tiara was given. As far as I have been able to find, the Tiara first appeared at the 1953 Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

[@BlueSaphire70]

@@JewelryJourneys-lq1jl Could she have borrowed it from her mother, GD Elena Vladimirovna, for the coronation and then later on inherited it? I don't think Prince George ever had enough money to gift his bride such a tiara, plus it'd be strange for her not to wear it during his lifetime. They were very active social butterflies! Then, after his early death, Princess Marina didn't have any money. She pretty much depended on the largesse of the monarch, so I doubt she could have bought it. What do you think?

[@mercedesscholl5551]

Queen Mary left that little necklace to Edward/Wallis in her will, so the Duchess started wearing it after 1953. Considering the priceless jewelry in huge diamonds, rubies, emeralds, etc. which Queen Mary left to her other daughters-in-law and granddaughters, this necklace was a trifle. But, without a doubt, it was a gesture.

From the journals of family, friends, and acquaintances, Queen Mary would use coercion to obtain jewelry from those she thought less-worthy of the pieces or having hardship, such as her Russian relatives. She also had “sticky fingers” and was not above taking what she wanted. Both she and her husband were cold and non-responsive in affection for their children.
