A quote attributed to the most regal Queen, Britain has ever produced and in reference to the moment before the Dehli Durbar in 1911 when she apparently took no great persuasion to add yet another glittering trinket to her already rather heavily bejewelled body. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/art-reviews/6308809/Maharaja-the-Splendour-of-Indias-Royal-Courts-at-the-VandA-review.html The Victoria and Albert Museum currently has an exhibition about the splendour of the Indian Empire and their rulers with a special focus on the Dehli Durbar.
