The brooch has a connection to multiple royal weddings, according to People.
The Queen wore the Richmond Brooch, which was a gift to her grandmother Queen Mary at her wedding back in 1893. Queen Mary used to wear the brooch as a necklace, but the current Queen has been wearing it as a brooch.
Elizabeth has worn the brooch on both happy and somber occasions. She wore it while attending Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s wedding in 2018 and she also wore it while attending the 2018 Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance event, which was held to mourn the lives of people who died in conflicts.
