Princess Margaret's jewelry was successfully sold at auctions. An antique diamond bracelet was given to her for her 21st birthday. The princess often wore it on special occasions.

The beautifully cut diamonds are surrounded by blue enamel. The bracelet was purchased by an unknown buyer from Hong Kong.

The couple's former chef auctioned off a collection of their notes in 2008. In them, the prince and princess wrote what they wanted for lunch or as a snack. In addition, there are words of gratitude and a request to share recipes.
