Queen Elizabeth’s Canadian Maple Leaf Brooch was a present from George VI to his wife ahead of their 1939 tour of Canada. The Queen Mother treasured the brooch until her death in 2002, whereupon it passed to the Queen. She, in turn, lent it to the Canada-bound Duchess of Cambridge last summer for her first royal tour.
