When Queen Elizabeth II died in 2022, she left behind hundreds of pieces of personal jewellery, including dozens of brooches. Her will was sealed, and no announcement was ever made about who received what. So where did the Queen's brooches actually go?

In this video we follow the trail through the public record alone. The pieces now seen on Queen Camilla — from the Greville ivy leaf clips she wore on the very night she became Queen, to Queen Victoria's diamond Jubilee heart and the extraordinary Williamson Pink. The brooches worn by Catherine, Princess of Wales, including Queen Alexandra's Three Feathers Brooch. The jewels now behind glass at the King's Gallery, Buckingham Palace. And the most remarkable story of all — how the diamonds of "Granny's Chips," once the Queen's most valuable brooch, were reset into Queen Mary's Crown and worn by Queen Camilla at the 2023 Coronation.
