As part of the year-long Platinum Jubilee celebrations commemorating Queen Elizabeth II’s 70 years on the throne, portrait pictures of a young Queen taken at the beginning of her reign and jewels worn by her are on display at Buckingham Palace, starting today.
Titled ‘The Queen’s Accession’, the exhibition also features her iconic Nizam of Hyderabad necklace which was given to The Queen as a wedding present in 1947 by the erstwhile ruler (Nizam) of Hyderabad, Asaf Jah VII, who was believed to be one of the richest men in the world that time.
