THE Duchess of Cambridge will be joining the Queen to celebrate the historic moment she becomes the nation's longest-reigning monarch.

Her Majesty has invited Kate and Prince William to Balmoral on September 9 - the day she will have served 63 years and 217 days to overtake Queen Victoria, her great-great-grandmother.

In a relatively low-key affair, favoured by the Queen, the 89-year-old will be hosting a family dinner at her Aberdeenshire home to mark the momentous occasion, palace sources have revealed. Click link for full post from EXPRESS.

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
