Nope. I have 2 necklaces bought many years ago that are coins with her portrait on them. Plus somewhere I have some money.

No, I bought a souvenir when I was in Windsor some-20 years ago and that's enough for me.

Sorry, but most "memorabilia" pieces are just dust collectors, and most people know that.   While i'm sure she was a nice lady, her estate doesn't need the money, and I doubt anyone will forget her any time soon. 

 

These days, I donate to organizations that will benefit endangered species.  IMO,  make your money count for something real.

No, I have enough "stuff" packed in my house. I took a picture of the Queen and Prince Philip as they were going to Ascot from Windsor Castle.

 

I was about 3 feet away from them. That is enough of a memory for me. I thought they were both better looking in person. 

But I must admit @newname0 they are beautiful photos. Much better than mine.

No not buying anything.

 

My birthday and the Queen's are on the same day and when I was 13 I sent her a birthday card.  I got a letter signed by  her Lady In Waiting written at the Queens command thanking me for the card and wishing me a happy birthday.

 

I have it laminated and hanging on the wall in my spare bedroom.

May I ask what you bought? Was it before/after the fire?
