Coronet Cream

Thanks Rick, I thought that bloke looked suspicious!
 
Now it can be told. After years of research on Coronet Cream I came across this reference:

"Princess Elizabeth attended the coronation of her parents, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth on 11 May 1937. As a Princess of the realm, she wore a cream dress with gold embellishment, a purple robe and a coronet made by the Crown Jewellers." > RCIN 250438 - Dress <

Look at the color of that dress. THAT's "Coronet Cream". Not sure why BMC (there was an A30 in the color) would honor a previous coronation, but the color seems accurate. Watch for my History Channel upcoming special on Healeys and royalty.

Amazing what HM Elizabeth was to see over the next 70 some years.
