I didn't realize it was time for that already!  I would say probably yes, as she did attend last year IIRC.  If this new necklace is convertible to a tiara, we may see it. 
Hopefully she will manage to wear a decent dress, and if there is a Dog in heaven, she will do something - anything -  with that mop of hair.

Yes, last year she attended wearing her Turquoise Demi-Parure .......... and the Cubbit Diadem (what Laura Parker-Bowles wore on her wedding day this year, as did Camilla in the 1970's).

It was also the first appearance for Sophie Wessex's aquamarine tiara, you know, the Klingon one...

I wonder if HRH has been bestowed any orders? I do not suppose it would be the Queen Elizabeth II Family Order, but maybe some lesser ones like HRH The Countess of Wessex recieved the Order of St. John; are announcments of these orders ever made?

There was an announcement when Sophie got her order, but the awarding of HM's Family Order is never announced.  You just have to wait until it turns up at a formal event. 
My guess would still be 'no' for the family order, but I am open to surprises.

Did Sarah, duchess of York ever recieve any orders? I do recall ever seeing her wearing any? and i know that she never recieved the Family Order .... the number of the owners of the Family order seems to be fastly decreasing.

It seemed that The Queen wasn't as interested at bestowing them now since the royal divorces and marriages.  ???

I suppose that by now, we have all figured out that the Duchess did not attend the diplomatic corps reception...

But over on the RJOTWMB, Wymanda and Sofia have brought this to our fellow posters attention - two more of Wallis' jewels are coming back on the market.

Personally I don't think much of the bracelet, but I adore that pin!

Unlike Edward VII and George V, George VI and Elizabeth II are quite stingy in giving out the Royal Family Order in comparison.  Women married into the Royal Family as opposed to born into it have to wait a few years before the Queen presents them with her Royal Family Order.  The Duchess of Kent, the  Duchess of Gloucester,  Diana, and Sophie Wessex all received the Order  well after their weddings.  No, Sarah never received it and although Marie-Christine has salivated for years yearning for the Royal Family Order, it's doubtful she will ever get it.  As for the Queen's newest daughter-in-law, she might be awarded the Royal Family Order once the Queen reaches a point in her later years when she's too gaga to know what she's doing.

I read somewhere that Sophie's Order is second hand and that it once belonged to Diana.  I suppose it's possible.  *shrug*

Indeed...Recent development in Royal marriages had made the Queen even more cautios about giving them out...Understandably.  :(

Does anyone know what happened to this tiara--or anything about it? It was a wedding present from George V and Queen Mary to Princess Alexandra of Fife (the King's niece) when she married Prince Arthur of Connaught (the King's cousin).

Thanks to those who replied re where are parts  1 2 3 & 4.
Real shame they no longer exist. Such a lot of valuable phots and info and discussion  gone.
No questions thanks  emeraldseyes.
Just thought of something emeraldeyes, are you able to access Canadian archives  and get photos or descriptions of the Dogwood jewellery gifted to QEII.
 Would be great if you could . Thanks.
