Oddly, the above link opened for me early in the morning on condition that I divulged what I most miss during COVID (the answer was the freedom to travel freely, since I can’t pretend that I miss going to sports matches). So, I am now posting the article instead:-

Please, Charles, could you post the entire article? When I click on the FT link I get a demand for a subscription… very pricey. I recently received earrings I purchased from Romilly’s shop site… love them… ‘Sputnik balls with dangling diamonds’… but also Anglo/Saxon beads, says Romilly…. I thought they looked like the orbs that the Queen has…. so many references. I feel that her scouring EBay is a form of mudlarking for her….
Dear Leslie, I think and hope I have. The link worked for me which is why I posted it, but have now photographed the article and posted it. Charles
We saw it first thing this morning here in New York and thought it a wonderful, warm, insightful tribute to her.
Glad you’ve made it to New York ! Maybe to vote. Good luck. It’s a historic time. Charles
