Pandemic Pastimes: Binge-watching Favorite Shows
Posted on
Like many of you right now, I’ve spent the last few months retreating into comforts—comfort food, comfort clothes, and comfort TV. And nothing is more comforting than re-watching your favorites, the shows and movies you’ve seen hundreds of times and can recite line by line. After watching the much anticipated season 4 of
The Crown (whether you liked this season or not, Gillian Anderson was INCREDIBLE), I found myself going back to seasons 1 and 2 again.
The Queen’s jewelry reproductions were amazingly accurate, something I found lacking in seasons 3 and 4. For her visit to the Duke of Windsor, depicted in season 3, the Queen wears a rather modest brooch, and I can’t even tell what the Duchess of Windsor has on her collar. When the visit did happen, Her Majesty wore the stunning Dorset Bow, a wedding gift from her grandmother Queen Mary. Made by Carrington, the brooch was a gift from the County of Dorset to then-Princess Mary of Teck when she wed the Duke of York in 1893. Someone with a better eye than I can probably identify the brooch worn by the Duchess of Windsor- probably a piece by Van Cleef & Arpels!
