The Centenary Rose Brooch
With the Chelsea Flower Show happening today; what better jewel than the Centenary Rose Brooch to celebrate the day.
The brooch was a gift from one Queen to another. Queen Elizabeth II commissioned it as a 100th birthday present for her mother, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, in 2000.
The brooch features a hand-painted rose on a background of rock crystal, surrounded by a frame set with 100 diamonds. It’s not just any random rose, either: it’s a Queen Elizabeth Grandiflora Rose, which was specially bred to mark the Queen’s coronation in 1953. The piece was made by Collins and Sons.

Elizabeth of York, fashion character design, c. 1472-1473.
The fleur-de-lys on the dress make me think of the moment when Elizabeth was engaged to Charles, the Dauphin of France.

Princess Catherine, A Queen in waiting.
Following the death of her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Catherine became the Princess of Wales. Her rise into the royal family has been a breathtaking and enchanting experience. She does not give up as she nears ever closer to the grandiose title of Queen Consort.

Alexandra Byrne designed this beautiful gown for the 1998 film Elizabeth, where it was worn by one of Elizabeth’s ladies in waiting.
In 2000, it was worn in The Royal Diaries: Elizabeth I – Red Rose of the House of Tudor by Susan Sheridan as a character in the novel referred to as Jane the Bald, who in life was likely Jane Foole, the fool who served both Mary and Katherine Parr, and may have been featured in the painting The Family of Henry VIII. The appearance of the costume in this production is the only time we are able to see the pattern on the blue skirt.
In 2003’s Henry VIII, the costume was seen again by a lady in waiting to Anne Boleyn before finally appearing in 2023’s Love At First Sight on a party guest.
