Accompanied by a note in the hand of H.M. Queen Mary, 'For darling Margaret on her confirmation day from her loving Grannie Mary R God bless you. April 15th 1946.'
H.R.H. The Princess Margaret was confirmed on 15th April 1946 in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Geoffrey Fisher, assisted by the Dean of Windsor, Sir Eric Knightley Chetwode Hamilton, and Canon Stafford Crawley of St. George's Chapel Windsor. It seems highly likely that this confirmation gift from her grandmother was a jewel previously in H.M. Queen Mary's private collection and passed on to her granddaughter on this special occasion.
