Margaret Greville died on September 15, 1942. Her jewels collection was put in an inventory and appraised in the following weeks. Only one person would be able to keep such a collection intact. It was Queen Elizabeth, wife of King Georges VI. In 1947, the first Boucheron piece from the Greville collection made a timid appearance at the wedding of the princess, Elizabeth. At twenty-one, the future Queen was marrying one of her distant cousins, Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark.
