When Prince Philip married Princess Elizabeth more than 70 years ago, he gave up everything for the woman he loved.  He abandoned his Danish and Greek royal titles, and even his surname to become Britain’s longest serving consort.  As such, senior designer Rachel Bishop felt that it was just that the flower named Clematis Prince Phillip, should stand as a design in itself.  Each petal holds gently-waving edges, coloured mauvey-blue with a pink-red bar through the middle and all meeting in a central crown of brown-tipped stamens, set against a pure ivory ground.  The rich colours of the petals wave like flags in jubilation as they celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

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.
