For most of us, the phrase 'Granny's Chips' would evoke images of our beloved nannies frying potatoes for a comforting dinner, but for the Royal Family, it has a far grander meaning. Worlds away from the deep fat fryer, it's the sweet nickname that the late Queen Elizabeth II gave one of her most prized possessions, as nestled in her extensive personal jewellery collection lies a breath-taking diamond brooch that's known to be the most valuable in the world.
The late monarch's precious jewels hold huge historic weight as well as staggering value, having been passed down from generation to generation of kings and queens. Much like many of her other beloved pieces, Her Majesty was gifted the diamonds by her grandmother, Queen Mary, and only wore the brooch a handful of times throughout her 70-year reign.
