In November 1954, The Queen accompanied her children to Adams’s studio for a family sitting. The Queen is pictured wearing a brooch in the centre of which is the ‘Williamson Pink’ diamond – given to her by John T. Williamson as a wedding present in 1947. When speaking of his long association with the Royal Family, Adams declared: ‘I have had more joy from that family than from any. They are full of fun.’
