Princess Elizabeth (wearing her two-strand Pearl Necklace), Princess Margaret, and the then Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten joined King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (wearing Queen Mary’s Fringe Tiara, the Coronation Earrings, Queen Alexandra’s Wedding Necklace, and Queen Victoria’s Diamond Bracelet) for the Royal Variety Performance at the London Palladium on this day in 1947, just days before the Royal Wedding.
