Expert claims Her Majesty will not be buried in priceless jewels but simply her gold wedding band
Humble' Queen Elizabeth will be laid to rest wearing two sentimental pieces of jewellery: Expert claims Her Majesty will not be buried in priceless jewels but simply her gold wedding band and pair of pearl earrings The Queen's wedding ring is made from Welsh gold, continuing a royal tradition stretching back to 1920s Lisa Levinson said it is 'unlikely' she will be buried with anything else other than a pair of pearl earrings Added that her engagement ring will likely be given to her daughter Princess Anne At her Coronation, the Queen wore a crown glittering with jewels and wielded a sceptre boasting the world's largest white diamond. But a royal expert has predicted that Her Majesty will be buried with just two pieces of jewellery. Lisa Levinson, head of communications at the Natural Diamond Council, told Metro.co.uk that it would be 'unlikely' that the 'humble' Queen will be buried with anything other than her 'simple Welsh gold wedding band to rest and a pair of pearl earrings'. She added that her engagement ring, which contains diamonds taken from a tiara owned by Prince Philip's mother Alice of Battenberg, will likely be given to her daughter Princess Anne. The Queen's wedding ring was passed to her after being given to her parents for their wedding in 1923. It began a royal tradition of having wedding rings made from Welsh gold. It was made from the Clogau St. David's gold mine. Her Majesty's private jewellery collection holds around 300 pieces, including 98 brooches, 34 pairs of earrings and 15 rings. When not worn by the monarch, they were stored in the Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace. The official Crown Jewels are held in the Tower of London. Dating back to the 17th-century, the collection includes more than 23,000 diamonds, sapphires and rubies. Her Majesty's state funeral will take place in Westminster Abbey next Monday, after she lies in state in her oak coffin for four days at Westminster Hall nearby. The Queen's coffin is currently in Edinburgh's St Giles Cathedral, where thousands of mourners filed past overnight and this morning to pay their respects. It is set to be flown to RAF Northolt tonight and will then be driven to Buckingham Palace.

William jokes with well-wishers at Sandringham that the iconic bear is now more popular
Paddington's knocked the Corgis off the top spot': William jokes with well-wishers at Sandringham that the iconic bear is now more popular and the Queen's beloved pets 'won't take that very well' Senior royals visited mourners up and down the country today as King Charles III rests at Highgrove Kate told a woman she couldn't read all the cards 'or I would cry' while William said he was 'overwhelmed' In Manchester, Sophie, Countess of Wessex, hugged young boy called Josh who had gathered to meet her Meanwhile, Princess Royal, accompanied by her husband Sir Tim Laurence, visited well-wishers in Glasgow Prince William joked that Paddington has 'knocked the Corgi off the top spot' and that the Queen's beloved pets 'won't take that very well' when visiting mourners in Sandringham today. The new Prince of Wales and Princess of Wales, both 40, stepped out of a dark Range Rover near to the estate's historic Norwich Gates where they warmly greeted by huge crowds who had waited behind metal barriers to see the couple. One well-wisher, Gemma Schultz, spoke to William after he noticed her baby wearing a top with Paddington on it and commented about the bear's popularity following the Queen's skit with the marmalade sandwich-loving character for her Platinum Jubilee Celebrations in June. The Prince joked: 'I was saying, I think Paddington might have knocked the Corgi off the top spot now. The Corgis won't take that very well.' Following the discussion, Gemma told BBC News that William and Kate were 'nice and genuine people', adding: 'We spoke to William and we spoke to Kate, they both said about his little outfits, how nice they were... All the things that they are doing for everyone is just so nice.' The Prince and Princess of Wales, who stayed for almost an hour, chatting to royal fans young and old, looked deep in thought as they read the messages on the sea of floral tributes that have been left behind at the gates to the royal residence. William told a woman waiting in the crowds that yesterday's procession was 'very difficult' and 'brought back a few memories' of walking behind his mother Diana's coffin, before - close to tears - saying to her: 'Don't cry now, you'll start me off'. William was also heard telling a mourner the Queen was 'everyone's grandmother', and saying Prince George, nine, understood that she had died but Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four, less so. Meanwhile, Kate told a woman she would burst into tears if she read too many sympathy cards. With King Charles III enjoying a much-deserved rest at his Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire, the rest of his family took up the mantle - with Sophie, Countess of Wessex, hugging mourners in Manchester and Princess Anne visiting
