Princess Alexandra has personally handed Catherine, the Princess of Wales, the Queen Mother’s private jewels, bypassing Queen Camilla entirely.
This secretive transfer took place during a private meeting at Clarence House and involved a velvet box of exquisite heirlooms that had been sealed for over twenty years. The jewels belonged specifically to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and were kept separate from the official crown jewels, meant to be passed down according to her personal wishes rather than formal royal protocols.
Princess Alexandra, who was very close to the Queen Mother, was entrusted with fulfilling her aunt’s wishes and chose Catherine as the rightful heir to this treasured legacy. Sources reveal that the items were given not out of favoritism but due to Catherine’s merit—her ability to maintain dignity and loyalty through scandals, rumors, and intense public scrutiny.
Alongside the jewels, a handwritten note from the Queen Mother was reportedly included, containing a poignant message that moved Catherine to tears. This note emphasized that the wearer of these jewels is to preserve what others might seek to destroy—a powerful symbol of trust and responsibility.
The transfer has sent shockwaves through Buckingham Palace, as it was a dramatic break from royal protocol and excluded Queen Camilla from the inheritance loop. It signals a profound endorsement of Catherine’s role and future in the monarchy, highlighting her as the true bearer of the Queen Mother’s legacy.​​
