Dear charlottestreasure,
I note your statement from interview by The Queen's dresser, Angela Kelly.
Which edition of Hello Canada is this in please?
I have tried to find Hello Canada, and bought the Special Collectors Edition that they advertised, but find it is not 2010 tour of Canada. I feel ripped off, but it is my fault as I supposed that the Special collectors Edition would have been 2010, not anything but.
If you could, might you reproduce the interview for me please?
More of the Hello interview:
"....the Queen is wearing more and more of her late mother's favourite pieces of jewelry.
Over the past six months, the 84-year old monarch has worn well over a dozen of these brooches at state events and on her tours of the U.K. as well as during family gatherings at Christmas and Easter. Most recently, in Canada-a country that the Queen Mother is known to have loved - The Queen continued the tradition, with her dresser, Angela Kelly, bringing many of her favourite pieces along on the cross-country tour.....that she lays out three jewelry sets each morning, from which the Queen selects her favourite....
The Queen Mother would ofen wear Cartier brooches lovingly designed for her by her husband, George VI (following the example set by his great-grandfather Prince Albert, who designed pieces for Queen Victoria). ....
And for the Queen, many of her mother's brooches have, in turn, become much-loved mementoes, much to the delight of her cousin Lady Elizabeth Anson,.....I think it's terribly nice the Queen's doing this. It's a very sentimental idea. I know the Queen is very proud of the pieces her father designed for her mother - and they obviously mean a lot to her....
.....So it's not surprising that some of her treasured pieces are beginning to reappear, some eight years after the royal matriarch's death."....
