She's looking lovely today, but: NO BROOCH. Your Maj, I'm shook.

UK-India Year of Culture Reception
The Queen, accompanied by other members of the Royal Family, hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace to launch the 2017 UK-India Year of Culture.
The first amethyst appearance of the year is always an occasion to celebrate, in my book. (And yes, The Duchess of Cambridge was there, and yes, we'll be chatting about her outfit on the other blog.)

Investiture at Buckingham Palace
The Queen held an Investiture at Buckingham Palace.
We do have a brooch here, elusive though its identification is proving to be so far. Update: Mystery solved! Thanks to eagle-eyed commenters who saw footage on the news (Scarf Addict kindly shared an image in the comments), we know that this is the Flower Basket Brooch.

Female Permanent Secretaries Reception, and Audiences at Buckingham Palace
The Queen hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace celebrating past and present women in government leadership (Permanent Secretaries).

Audience at Buckingham Palace
The Queen received the new Lieutenant Governor of Quebec, J. Michel Doyon, and Pauline Théberge for a private audience at Buckingham Palace.
In today's edition of Mildly Interesting Coincidences: this brooch was used last year for an audience with another Canadian lieutenant governor. (Okay, mildly might have been an overstatement.)

Orange is one of my least favorite colors, but it does make a nice accent for this room, no?

National Cyber Security Centre Opening
The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh officially opened the National Cyber Security Centre in London.

Her Maj seems to prefer this brooch without its pendant when the outfit shade leans toward blue. That's when I'd most like to see the pendant, actually, since emerald is a more interesting choice than the usual white stones on a color like this. (Who am I kidding, I always want the pendant.)
