Victoria’s Fabergé notebook goes on show

A FABERGÉ notebook in which Queen Victoria recorded her diamond jubilee celebrations is to go on public display.

The book, signed and dated by the monarch, has signatures of guests who attended dinner the evening before the official jubilee commemoration of June 22, 1897.

The notebook, made by Russian jeweller Carl Fabergé, will go on display in the Treasures From The Queen’s Palaces exhibition at the Queen’s Gallery in Holyrood Palace from March 16.

It is one of around 20 pieces of Fabergé works in the exhibition which marks the Queen’s own diamond jubilee this year.
