The wedding day of Princess Elizabeth to my cousin Philip was not with out some chaos…
Lilibet’s tiara, given to her by Queen Mary, had suddenly snapped and an aide had to be whisked off in a taxi to the jewellers for a quick repair and as if that wasn’t enough, the pearl necklace that Lilibet wished to wear, which was a gift from her father, had been left on display along with all the other wedding presents at St James’s Palace.
