Of all the designs created for the Platinum Jubilee celebration, A Floral Bow is undoubtedly the most personal.  As such, it has been moved into the hallowed ground of a significant Moorcroft design.  The Lily-of-the-valley is one of the most delicate flowers of all.  Nicola Slaney’s bell-shaped blooms, capture Her Majesty’s early years with the single flower gently bending to one side with its bells on a flowering stalk offering a floral bow, to represent the thousands of bows the young Princess Elizabeth would receive as Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II over the coming years – bows of respect, affection, loyalty and love.

THE SUCCESSION COLLECTION

For the Platinum Jubilee

In the multitude of countries, realms and states which have hosted a royal tour for HRH Queen Elizabeth II, there is perhaps no other location more magical than a hideaway place in Kenya.  For Queen Elizabeth, Treetops and Sagana Lodge were chosen for a relaxing, wildlife-watching pause in Kenya during what was set to be a long tour of Australia and New Zealand, but destiny had other plans.

On February 6, 1952, George VI died in his sleep, making his heir apparent and elder daughter, Elizabeth, Queen of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth.  This remarkable collection holds scenes from the natural world where the crown of our greatest and longest serving monarch began to shimmer under the heat of the African sun.
