Queen’s platinum brooches with a tribute to Philip for her special Jubilee
The Queen wore glittering Platinum brooches to mark her Jubilee of the same name – with a nod to her beloved Duke of Edinburgh.
The Nizam of Hyderabad Rose brooches, adorned with diamonds and set in the silvery white metal, were given to her as a wedding present when she married Philip.
The Jubilee is the Queen’s first without her consort Philip – her “strength and stay”- who died just 10 months ago at the age of 99.
The pieces were originally a tiara and were a gift from one of the world’s wealthiest men, The Nizam of Hyderabad, who gave Princess Elizabeth the tiara and a diamond necklace to mark her wedding to Philip in 1947.
The Queen wears the roses often – either as a pair or individually.
She wore two of the smaller rose brooches at Government House in Melbourne during her tour of Australia in 1954.
The diamond necklace also remains in its original condition and has been worn by the Duchess of Cambridge
