Sparkling below her broad smile of the Queen proudly sits a birthday present gifted by her father, King George VI, during the Second World War.
This evening a portrait of the Queen beaming at the camera was released.
In the sweet image, the late Queen is seen wearing a smoky blue dress matched with her favourite three-strand pearl necklace and earrings.
Attached to her outfit also sits her beloved aquamarine and diamond clip brooches.
The jewellery had a special meaning to the Queen as they were an 18th birthday present from her father King George VI in 1944, when she was Princess Elizabeth of York.
The King was said to be her idol with those who knew the Queen at a young age describing her as a loyal daddy’s girl.
Their close relationship shaped her long rule as she once said: “I shall always work, as my father did throughout his reign, to advance the happiness and prosperity of my peoples.”
As a result it is little surprise the Queen chose to wear the sentimental brooches when posing for pictures at important times of her long reign, or for live addresses.
Today’s released picture was taken at the time of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations at her home in Windsor Castle.
Eagle-eyed royal fans will recognise them from when she addressed the nation on the 75th anniversary of VE Day in 2020 and her Diamond Jubilee televised speech in 2012.
In 2020, she sat next to a framed picture of her beloved father in his Admiral of the Fleet uniform with RAF Wings.
Speaking from the White Drawing Room at Windsor Castle, where the monarch was isolating with Prince Philip, she said: “I speak to you today at the same hour as my father did, exactly 75 years ago.
"His message then was a salute to the men and women at home and abroad who had sacrificed so much in pursuit of what he rightly called a 'great deliverance'.
"The war had been a total war; it had affected everyone, and no one was immune from its impact.
“Whether it be the men and women called up to serve; families separated from each other; or people asked to take up new roles and skills to support the war effort, all had a part to play.
“At the start, the outlook seemed bleak, the end distant, the outcome uncertain."
Behind her on a separate table could be seen a photograph of teenage self with her father, mother and sister together with Winston Churchill on the balcony of Buckingham Palace on VE Day, Tuesday May 8, 1945.
If history had been different, Her Majesty would never have become Queen only she becoming heir to the throne when her father replaced Edward VIII, who abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson.
The Queen became monarch during a trip to Kenya on February 6, 1952, when her father died in his sleep at Sandringham.
She was later crowned on June 2, 1953.
