Audiences at Buckingham Palace

The Queen held audiences at Buckingham Palace.

New Zealand Blue Pearl Brooch

It's a shame we don't have a better view of this brooch, because this is a rare sighting of the New Zealand Blue Pearl Brooch (which has been worn twice before and not since 2014) and that's a really interesting color combination for The Queen to make with this dress.

Buckingham Palace Garden Party and Audiences

The Queen held an audience at Buckingham Palace.

Buckle up, it's a two brooch day and they're both interesting choices! The first brooch of the day is the Malta Aquamarine Brooch - I call it that simply because it debuted in Malta in 2015. This is the second time we've seen it, assuming you can make it out on that print dress.

The Queen, joined by other members of the Royal Family, held a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace.

City of London Lily Brooch

The day's second brooch is the City of London Lily, a piece fairly well known but not - in recent years, at least - so often worn (this is just the third time it's been worn since this site started keeping track in 2012).

Royal Family

It's a beautiful and large piece, though, so always a treat to see it in use.

Royal Family

The Queen's companions at today's garden party included The Duke of Sussex plus Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, whose color choices bookended Her Maj's very well. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, The Duke of Kent, and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent also attended.

Looks like something floral here, but tricky to tell, so I turn the guessing over to you.

British Airways Centenary

The Queen visited the headquarters of British Airways at Heathrow Airport to mark the company's 100th anniversary.

Another day, another major company's major anniversary. With a brooch bonus for me: I was hoping for a second 2019 appearance of this turquoise brooch, and here we are!

Sainsbury's 150th Anniversary

The Queen visited a pop-up Sainsbury's store near one of the company's first locations to mark the 150th anniversary of the supermarket chain.

Diamond and Pearl Navette Brooch

In which Her Maj pops out to Sainsbury's and wonders whether you can cheat at the self-service checkout. Just like my trips to the grocery store. Minus the hat and the diamonds and the pearls, of course.

Sapphire Jubilee Snowflake Brooch

It's appearance #2 for the Sapphire Jubilee Snowflake Brooch! Given by Canada in 2017, we first saw it worn last year.

I would not have expected a pairing with the shade of this Stewart Parvin coat, but I suspect the blues on the sapphires are more subtle in person than they are in the released photos of the brooch.
