We were sad to hear of the passing of the fascinating Lady Pamela Hicks yesterday at the age of 97! The younger daughter of Lord Mountbatten was the first cousin of the Duke of Edinburgh and served as the late Queen’s bridesmaid and lady-in-waiting before marrying an influential interior designer. Among several spectacular heirlooms, Lady Pamela inherited the iconic Chaumet Mountbatten Tiara!
