Queen’s jigsaw puzzles on display at Sandringham

LONDON - An exhibition offering an insight into the private life of the Royal family is on display at the Sandringham estate in West Norfolk, and it also features a custom-made jigsaw puzzle owned by the Queen.

The complicated 400-piece jigsaw puzzle, a collage which includes the Princess Royal, the Duke of York, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, Princess Margaret, Princes William and Harry and the Duke of Edinburgh, is among other previously unseen personal items on display.

The jigsaw puzzle was sent to the Queen, for whom puzzles are a favourite past time, in 1993 as a gift from a specialist jigsaw puzzle maker in London, reports the Telegraph.

The box is left plain because the Queen is understood to find that having a picture to follow makes the task too easy.

Romantic gifts of jewellery and other items from her predecessors are also on show. (ANI)
