The designer responsible for her exquisite gown was Norman Hartnell. Made of silk, the dress reportedly required the expertise of no less than six embroiderers. The design of the dress featured floral emblems of both the UK and other states within the Commonwealth of Nations. This included the English Tudor rose, Welsh leek, Scottish thistle, Irish shamrock, Canadian maple leaf,  Australian wattle flower and a New Zealand fern.<\/p>\n<div>!function(e,t,r){let n;if(e.getElementById(r))return;const a=e.getElementsByTagName(\u201cscript\u201d)[0];n=e.createElement(\u201cscript\u201d),n.id=r,n.defer=!0,n.src=\u201dhttps:\/\/playback.oovvuu.media\/player\/v1.js\u201d,a.parentNode.insertBefore(n,a)}(document,0,\u201doovvuu-player-sdk\u201d);<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Naturally, such a work of art was far too precious to wear but once.

The ring was given to the queen by Prince Philip in 1946 and was made using diamonds from a tiara which had belonged to his mother.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"baobab-embedded-image\" src=\"https:\/\/image-prod.iol.co.za\/resize\/650x65000?source=https:\/\/xlibris.public.prod.oc.inl.infomaker.io:8443\/opencontent\/objects\/db07876d-b6a3-5e55-80c6-c4cf4e57380d\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\"\/><figcaption>An undated handout photo issued by Buckingham Palace of the official Platinum Jubilee portrait of Britain\u2019s Queen Elizabeth II.
