The following data relies heavily on the work of the blogger at "Her Majesty's Jewel Box". If you swing by there (I will be linking), BE ADVISED THE BLOGGER WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS POLITICAL STUFF THAT IS NOT WHY SHE IS THERE so take it easy.

QE also does hundreds and hundreds of appearances, and maybe 95% or higher, she wears a brooch. And the brooch is ALWAYS significant. Badges of military regiments - she inspects some troops, she wears the badge of them to do it.

A head of state gives her a brooch? If they visit, she'll wear it or something else she'd been given by them as a gift. (This goes for other kinds of jewelry too.) To her it's almost like royal orders.

That said, she wore three brooches while she and tRUmp were both in town. The day he arrived, the day of the banquet, and the day she actually met him for tea. (BTW, he let her wait 12min for him to show up for tea. He showed up late to tea WITH THE QUEEN OF FUCKING ENGLAND.)

Arrival day was the one that got the most attention. That day, she wore the brooch the Obamas gave her on their last visit to England. http://queensjewelvault.blogspot.com/2013/08/flashback-state-visit-from-united.html …

That by itself is amusing enough. She wore a brooch the Obamas gave her. But it gets better. It's not AN American brooch, any would be funny. She chose THIS ONE. This one was purchased out-of-pocket by Michelle and Barack Obama and given to her as a personal gift.

And since the Obamas are Really Good At This Subtle Thing too, they chose a very modest pin made of very modest materials. The message is "Here is a gift of something you like, with only sentimental value because it's for friendship not state visits."

The US has given QE jewelry before over the years and I bet her dresser could put hands on any and all of it given five minutes. But she chose the most SENTIMENTAL piece in the collection, the one that was given OUT OF FRIENDSHIP WITH THE OBAMAS AS PEOPLE.

Next day, next brooch. This was a day of audiences with people, she does that to maintain the Commonwealth at least one day a week. That day was the King and Queen of Belgium for tea as well. She wore a sapphire brooch. http://queensjewelvault.blogspot.com/2017/07/the-sapphire-jubilee-snowflake-brooch.html …

It's called the Sapphire Jubillee Brooch, and it was given to the Queen of England as a gift for ruling for eleventy billion (okay, 65). From Canada. You know, who Trump's been screaming about and insulting. The commonwealth country and one of the UK's greatest allies. Them.

It contains over ten carats of sapphires in several shades of blue, and is just stunning.pic.twitter.com/H3M6Kwx99h

And for the day of the tea, QE wore an innocuous 'nice but not holy shit, considering what's in the vaults' diamond brooch she inherited from her mother.pic.twitter.com/YtAqCJBceq

Adding more data from a friend, about QE's outfit. The suit she wore to tea is the exact same one she wore to open Parliament after the post-Brexit reorganization. "I think this is now her Official Outfit of Don't Wanna."

ALL RIGHT! Sheesh, y'all are impatient. Forty years ago, one of QE's cousins married a woman, now known as Princess Michael of Kent. She is notoriously racist. Going to the first Christmas lunch with the family where she would be meeting Megan Markle, she wore this:

If you google "Princess Michael of Kent brooch" you get THAT photo, in a Harper's article about it. The incident is notorious in a very small corner of jewel-watching territory.

In the 17-1800s, British Empire types like to have art made of their 'subjects'. That's called a Blackamoor Brooch and it is the jewelry equivalent to one of those statues of a little black boy holding a lantern people put at the end of their drives.

To meet Megan Markle. Who was engaged to Harry at the time.
এই থ্রেডটি দেখান -
She insists it was all a HUGE misunderstanding and she had NO IDEA that a pin called a BLACKAMOOR BROOCH was in bad taste. But then a guy who dated her daughter says she has two black sheep on her estate she named Venus and Serena, so you be the judge.
এই থ্রেডটি দেখান -
We were all hoping for a Serena - Princess Michael throwdown at the wedding reception, but it turned out Serena has too much class to beat the shit out of little old white ladies, even when they deserve it. (There's no incident I know of other than them being in the same room.)

A good friend has also informed me that Princess Michael of Kent's father was a major in the Nazi SS. Her husband also does lots of business in Russia. Which could mean nothing.

AND SINCE I'M ADDING ON ANYWAY,
@jadewhisk pointed something out: You know, that Canadian brooch of Elizabeth's could be considered a SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE.এই থ্রেডটি দেখান -
If QE knew the snowflake term, it's absolutely why this brooch was chosen. It's never been worn before and she has always before this worn a diamond maple leaf given to her as a young woman by the people of Canada.
এই থ্রেডটি দেখান -
Ooops, my bad. No. It was given to the Queen Mum for a tour of Canada in the thirties. Given by the King. So it's a gift between QE's beloved parents.

I can't possibly begin to guess what the Queen was thinking, but the facts as I know them are thus: 1. QE has a brooch very heavily associated with Canada to the point it really is a signal flag. 2. She did not wear it.
