Marion Bailey (as the Queen Mother): An overcoat and dress ensemble Season 4, Episode 2, 'The Balmoral Test' Custom-made calf-length mauve overcoat with cream rabbit fur trim to sleeves, and a large, textured single button, with a matching knee-length dress with deep V neck and pleated front; together with a matching hat with cream plumage to brim, chocolate brown gloves and a pair of heeled court shoes by Van Dal (5) Footnotes: As seen in the Balmoral Highlands & Braemar Games scene. The Braemar Gathering in Scotland likely started during the 11th century when King Malcolm Canmore visited Braemar, in the Highlands. However, the festivities back then were likely a lot more violent. Royal patronage dates back to 1848, when Queen Victoria first attended the event. She had a great love for Scotland, popularised the Highland Games, and continued to support the event for the rest of her life. The Games have been regularly attended by the British Royal Family since the Victorian era, with the current Royal patron being King Charles III. The activities at the Games today include highland dancing, piping, tossing the caber, putting the stone, throwing the hammer, sprinting, a relay race, a hill race up Morrone, long jump, tug of war and a children's sack race. The prize money for the winner today is over £12,000. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com For further information about this lot please visit the lot listing
