The Greville Jewels
The name 'Mrs Ronnie Greville' or "Maggie Greville" sets off shivers of delight among royal jewelry connoisseurs. Why? Because some of the most spectacular pieces in the House of Windsor's vault once belonged to this woman, born in St John's Wood in 1863 as Margaret Helen Anderson to a lowly brewery cook. Rising once legitimized by her father, William McEwan of McEwan's Fountain Brewing Company (now Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company), Maggie married the Honorable Ronnie Greville in 1891. Greville would become an MP and was heir to a baronetcy but after 17 years of marriage, no children issued. After Ronnie's death in 1908, Maggie traveled the world and compared her diamonds and emeralds to those of the maharajahs. Settling back in her Charles Street home and Polesden Lacey, Maggie became the hub of the Edwardian royal set. She provided cover to Mrs. Keppel, one of the British monarchy's beloved mistresses. Learn more about her at least 60 pieces of jewelry in this video.
