[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I can’t imagine Camilla getting the Queen’s jewelry collection outright. Maybe a few pieces, but the rest as a “lifetime loan” and/or with a specific provision that they go to Kate once Kate becomes queen. [/quote]

The Queen will probably distribute some of the pieces she inherited from her mother and grandmother (Queen Mary, who was a magpie for jewels) but I suspect that most will be passed on to the Crown, of which Charles/Camilla will have control. There is no possibility that the Queen would bypass Camilla for Kate - that's purely delusional. [/quote]

This. All of the jewelry (except small personal pieces with sentimental value like brooches) are the property of the Crown not the person.

So the Queen's crowns and tiaras go to the next monarch -- King Charles who then can allocated 'supervision' of the jewels to his Queen Consort. The same goes for William and George.

The tiaras don't just disappear out of the crown vault after a death, if they did there wouldn't be any LEFT.

What I'm interested in seeing all the crowns and coronets for a King's regalia that we haven't 'seen' in over 90 years. They're there in the vaults waiting for Charles. [/quote]

Sorry, but I am pretty sure you are wrong. The Crown Jewels belong to the Crown, but the majority of jewelry that you see the Queen wear is her personal property. Kind of like real estate - Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle belong to the crown, Balmoral and Sandringham are personal property. If you look at some of the better known tiaras, for example, some the Queen inherited from Queen Mary, but some she inherited from her mother in 2002 (I think?) when the Queen Mother died. Queen Mary also also gifted some tiaras to her other daughters in law, the Duchesses of Gloucester and Kent, which she wouldn’t have been able to if they belonged to the crown. [/quote]
