Audiences at Buckingham Palace

The Queen held audiences at Buckingham Palace. The King and Queen of Malaysia were also received today.

A change of room scenery and a change of brooch scenery! We most often get pictures of The Queen receiving credentials from ambassadors in the 1844 Room (as pictured last week, for example), but she shook it up today in the White Drawing Room. You can see a 360° view on the Royal Family site here (where it does say that this is a room regularly used for these types of audiences, so fair enough). Today's brooch selection is the Grima Ruby, last seen in the 2018 Christmas broadcast.

Chatham House Prizegiving, Audiences at Buckingham Palace, and Church at Windsor Castle

The Queen attended the 2019 Chatham House Prizegiving event at Chatham House, London. Earlier in the day, she held audiences at Buckingham Palace.

The Small Pink and Diamond Brooch was the definite selection for the evening's event...

...and it was my first thought for the day, although it looks like that could be something of a different shape in the end. Two outfits does usually mean two different brooches.

No question here, though: the Flower Basket, on just its second appearance for the year.

A center pearl and a guessing game - with the Pearl Trefoil, as always, a strong option - on tap for today's brooch fun.

This is the third time we've seen the Sapphire Chrysanthemum Brooch this year, the most so far of any year I've tracked here. Dark horse for the year-end faves list? (Also, hi Sophie!)

Tricky (again), but looks like the Pearl Trefoil Brooch.

Investiture at Windsor Castle

I originally called this the Kent Amethyst but with some reservations; thanks to Snug Harbor matching up the dress with its coat at other occasions, showing it is a blue dress and not purple, that identification has been changed to Prince Albert's Sapphire.


Also: Margaret Atwood! A Companion of Honour today and she's one of the winners of the Booker Prize. She is having a month.

And just like that, we're back to the norm: a brooch for sure, but no idea which one.

It's a minor miracle, but there's actually enough brooch to identify here: the Kent Amethyst! Love that choice for this dress.

Hopping back a bit (thanks to Jelena), Her Maj wore the Aquamarine Clip Brooches. You can see a picture here at Shutterstock.

Audience at Buckingham Palace

The Queen received the High Commissioner for Grenada, Lakisha Grant, for a private audience at Buckingham Palace.

Oooh now this is interesting: a brooch we haven't covered here before! Looks like an aquamarine with some diamonds to either side. (Similar in shape to an unknown brooch from an audience in 2016, though the edges look different.)

Queen's Trust Reception

The Queen hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace to mark the work of The Queen's Trust.

So by my count, this is the first time we've seen the Cambridge Pearl Pendant at an event other than an audience or an investiture since 2015. And even this one is still inside the palace. Evidence mounts that the brooch truly is under house arrest.

There's a brooch here, but it's anybody's guess which one. Something fabulous, I hope.

A nice big emerald (x2)! It's like a welcome back present for us all.

Audiences at Buckingham Palace

The Queen held an audience with Theresa May, who tendered her resignation as Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury. The Queen next received Boris Johnson and requested him to form a new Administration. He is the 14th Prime Minister of Her Majesty's reign.

The Queen should have started her Balmoral break last week but she was held back due to, you know, this whole situation. Buckingham Palace is already open to the public for the summer, so she briefly came in from Windsor Castle for the prime minister switcheroo and then left the palace immediately after.

Viewing the Buckingham Palace Summer Opening Exhibition

The Queen, accompanied by The Duke of York, viewed an exhibition marking the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria's birth ahead of Buckingham Palace's summer opening.

No brooch, and for a Queen Victoria-related event?! Color me surprised she didn't at least throw on Queen Victoria's Bow Brooch or something.

Presentation of The Queen’s Truncheon

The Queen inspected The Queen's Truncheon, the ceremonial staff of the Royal Gurkha Rifles, during an audience at Buckingham Palace.

It's already our third sighting of the Round Cambridge Emerald Brooch for the year, think it has a shot at making the year's most popular brooch list? (It did back in 2015.)

There's juuuuuuust enough brooch peeking out here to call it the Pearl Trefoil.

I'm thinking we have a Palm Leaf in action here, but the floor is open for your guesses.

Faith Community Reception

The Queen, joined by The Duchess of Gloucester, hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace to celebrate the work of UK faith and belief groups in bringing local communities together.

Already the fourth appearance of good old Cullinan V in 2019! Headed for another appearance on the year's most popular list? Seems a solid bet.
