Queen Mary always saw the future in Elizabeth, showering her with priceless royal gifts. But what about Margaret, the bright and independent younger sister? Their relationship was not particularly close, and many believed that Mary paid her less attention.
However, hidden among Margaret's royal treasures are gifts that tell a very different story. What secrets do the jewels her strict grandmother selected just for her hold? Let us examine these precious pieces and attempt to unravel this intricate web of gems and complex emotions, shedding light on the relationship between Queen Mary and Princess Margaret.

People need to remember that Queen Mary had just lived through the disgrace, dishonor and absolute humiliation Edward Viii had just put his family and country through and to someone who put duty above almost everything else-- naturally she would be determined to teach her grandchildren the importance of duty and honor! We also forget that these women often only saw their children for an hour or less once a day at the most and really never knew their children at all.
oh wow now theres harry...
I disagree with that statement, the Royals do know their children 🌹⚜️🇺🇸🦋
@@DianaLafleur-wp8lg I will grant you that The prince and princess of wales know their children because they actually parent them, but when staff raises your children and you ship them off to boarding school as fast as possible--YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR CHILDREN!
@@lisafoodie8443Harry’s father is questionable.
Also she endured some scandal within her own family the Tecks were impoverished as well they left a country without paying their bills, and later they paid them, and she was in engaged to the Duke of Clearance who later because suspect in white chappel murders akai jack the ripper. He was sent to an asylum while still engaged to her , however they still had her marry a heir to the throne regardless
The diamond and sapphire brooch is definitely my favorite.
Margaret was truly the beauty of the family!💖
Beautiful pieces! Thank you for showing them to us 😊
Queen Mary had a very particular area of interest - jewellery, Fabergé eggs, tiaras, etc. She would visit the homes of her friends, browse through their collections and then show enormous interest in pieces which really caught her attention. Some items which her hosts thought had been given on loan to the Queen were simply never returned. Other items were coveted so obviously that they were given, albeit begrudgingly. She was after all, Her Majesty, Queen Mary. Many a host lost precious items to her, simply because they hadn’t the courage to say ‘no’ to the King’s wife. No doubt that as time went by, her friends displayed less popular items, keeping what remained of their prized possessions firmly out of sight.
She was like her mother. Never enough. Collected things throughout her life
@@TerriKnight-x3s Assuming you're referring to Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge, she had what could be commonly referred to as champagne tastes on a beer budget. She had very expensive taste but very little income. I wasn't aware that she was a "collector" like her daughter.
Queen Mary showed anything but restraint when it came to her jewelry, she piled it on head to toe.
At one wedding a cousin said of her, 'My cousin May, overdressed as usual.' I wonder if it was something to do with her own penurious upbringing and family's enforced exile in Italy.
What a fabulous video! So interesting... Thank you so much for creating this for us
People are often shocked that Such Personal Items were allowed to go to Auction, in order to pay off death duties ( taxes ) Margaret herself was quite pragmatic and did all she could in her lifetime to ...Gift certain Items...allowing them to be Tax Free...Her exquisite home in the Caribbean for example was transferred to her Son to avoid Tax duty...
He Sold this before she died...and it could look as if Margaret would be upset to see him do this. But again; she was pragmatic and I'm sure excepted his reasoning...
Margaret had some stunning Tiaras and Jewels which its believed were returned to The Crown...BUT have never been worn by anyone else as yet...That is quite a common theme especially while The Queen...was alive.
The two Children it's known did keep some very special pieces...for their own use. BUT as neither of them take part in State Dinners and the Like...Their Need to wear Major Pieces...such as Tiaras are few... and there is still the "Snowdon" Tiara in the Family!
I was a little surprised HM The Queen didn't step in and Bid for some very Personnel Pieces...Many Items not mentioned here...Perhaps she did ? The Fabergé Clock...For Example...May now be on the Late Queens dressing table.
Loved this. 😊❤
I am surprised that Queen Elizabeth didn't purchase an item or two to keep.
Maybe it was too painful.
The only piece in the collection for sale, after Princess Margaret death, that I personally would have coveted, was the small magnificent Fabergé clock, that Princess Margaret had on her bedside table, that her grandmother Queen Mary, had bequeathed to Princess Margret in her will.

2. ERZSÉBET HALÁLA UTÁN...
I agree...Its was such a personnel item...we wont know BUT perhaps it was bought on behalf of HM The Queen and was ticking away on her bedside as She herself died.
Toujours est-il que la Reine Mary a participé à faire de la reine Élisabeth une très grande et aimée Reine d’ Angleterre .
It's a shame that the pieces were sold. I would have kept them in the family.
We don’t know if Margaret had dents when she passed. Maybe her children used the money for that or to just be done with it.
Queen Mary had a daughter named Mary also didn’t she? Is there a story about the jewelry Queen Mary left her daughter?
Thanks - Bonnie
There were Lovely Jewels given to Princess Mary The Princess Royal at the Time of her Marriage BUT Remember she Married the Earl of Harewood. a very ennobled and rich family. with Family Jewels. Queen Mary believed... It was up to the Man's family to "Provide Jewels" for their Wives. Likewise Princess Marina of Kent...left very few of her Jewels to Her daughter...Princess Alexandra, believing her Husband should provide... Alas. Sir Angus Ogilvy while wealthy was not so wealthy and in no position to Lavish Jewels on her. BUT Alexandra did alright.
I only started watching this video but for some reason wanted to say that I have always seen the features of Queen Mary, above everyone else, in Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles and his brother Edward. Strong genes I guess.
And Princess Charlotte
Lady Louise probably resembles her the most of any family member.
Yes I agree@@erinobrien8793
Thank you
Something by watching this You may not know... Queen Mary had 4 sons, 3 lived to maturity & one daughter. Prince Edward aside who became the Duke of Windsor after his abdication, who it is believed "Took a LOT of Jewels with him into exile..."
Queen Mary... "Set up"...Her other three Son's and her Daughter The Princess Royal with exquisite sets of Jewels...
Check out for example the Jewels she gave to her daughter in laws...Including The Late Queen Mother... So vast was her collection of Jewels.
The Duchess of Gloucester and the rather Grand... Duchess of Kent. who's Husband...The Late Duke of Kent died in a plane just at the end of the War with Germany.
The Kent collection has over the years been much depleted from the need to sell off items...BUT the Gloucester Collection is pretty much " In Tact" and has some seriously Fine Pieces. I'd love to see at least Two of the Gloucester Tiaras ..."Returned" to the Royal Collection...It Includes The Cartier " Indian " Tiara that belonged to the late Princes Marie Louise of Anhalt ...and is Magnificent !( you can google it)
It's a "pipe dream" of mine... as I don't see that happening in reality. BUT the Tiaras are exquisite. The Gloucester's will face Taxes as all Royals, other than the Monarch Face...such is life.
May I offer a correction: Queen Mary and King George V had five sons and one daughter. Edward(Edward 8th), Albert(George VI), Henry, George and John. Unfortunately, John is often overlooked because he died as a young teen. Prior to that he had been kept out of sight at Wood Farm due to epilepsy and possible autism.
@@cynthiaalver Totally Correct One shouldn't forget John...I was focusing and thinking about the Jewels Queen Mary distributed. That will teach me to not reply at silly o'clock in the morning.
Tara Phillips looks like Margret.
Very good video❤
Sad all her stuff was auctioned off
The Princess Margaret's Estate was subject to some rather heavy succession duties. The family had to sell several items to defray the levies. The Sovereign, HM Queen Elizabeth II was not subject to any Succession Duties. The family kept many pieces; distributing them amongst several individuals.
Not all of Princess Margaret’s jewelry was sold at auction. I believe David and Sarah were surprised at how much money the auction raised to pay death duties. The heels and personal momentous raised far more than anticipated.
Such a shame to see those pieces go. Beautiful jewelry auctioned off. I think the family sold her house in the Caribbean as well.
Why on earth did her children have these beautiful gifts auctioned off? Did Princess Margaret have that much debt? That is so sad.
They had huge tax bill to pay….that’s why
@@mikeburnham9359 They are all rich enough to pay for it Margaret's son was married to a immensely rich heiress he has his own money too and his sister married to another rich person and even her sister the queen all should have contributed to pay that debt the gorgeous poltrimore tiara the necklace and the saphire and diamond broach or bracelet all were special pieces of jewelry the tiara Margaret wore it on her wedding day the necklace and the saphire and diamond bracelet were Margaret s grandmother s presents all of these jewelry pieces should have stayed in the family
@@ileanaacacostaacosta1813 you underestimate UK inheritance tax, particularly in the past. It destroyed many aristocratic estates entirely.
@@apebass2215 Introduced by the Labour party!
@LindaDeVoss, Great Britain has huge death duties, a tax that is cruel to anyone. I am so thankful my country doesn't have this old-fashioned tax or thinking.
I’m shocked her children sold them!
I have to agree that I am very disappointed that her children sold some of the most important and iconic pieces of jewelry that had so much history to them and they were also items that were very precious to their mother you would think that especially the jewelry that she wore on her wedding day would have been something that they should have kept especially the necklace that has such a long and interesting history, I hope that the reason why they sold it was because they couldn't afford the inheritance taxes and not for more money I think out of all of the items they should have done everything that they could to keep the necklace that was given to her by queen Mary because she received it from someone who she was obviously close friends with and she gave such a meaningful gift to her granddaughter it's just sad that we will probably never see any of these pieces again at least most likely not in the original version just more items that are lost to history but you can tell that they gave princess Margaret alot of happiness in a life that she was never completely happy
@@CandiceMalo they had huge taxes to pay on their mother's estate, how else were they to pay those taxes without liquidating some of the estate's assets.
@@CandiceMalo ... just say, very few people can be bothered to read overly long comments. Best to keep them shorter. Not a criticism, just fact.
She had another grandaughter in princess Alexandra, did she get any jewels?
Margaret was hurt by the abdication of Edward, whose scandalous affair threatened the monarchy. Margaret’s liaisons had a similar effect.
Her hypocrisy is stunning, hating on Edward and Diana like she did. Margaret did her fair share to embarrass the Queen and bring dishonor to the Monarchy.

This is a long as video for three pieces of jewlery…
How they buy it' TAXPAYERS MONEY!!! LEECHES!!!
Of course it wasn't. Personal items have always been bought with personal money or received as gifts or by inheritance.
Thank you
