Their pic is of her mantle as sovereign - with star on the mantle - which could not be in 1947 as labelled.
Yes, she got the Garter in 1947 but see my pic of her higher as Princess Elizabeth with her husband. They both have the badge on the mantle, and the common way of closing at the neck.
QEII became sovereign in 1952.
Note how the closure at the neckline is quite different below. (And yes, the closure as sovereign differs from the pic of her father. Just another difference I need to track down.)
We can all make mistakes but I find it so very disappointing when the Royal Collection Trust can be so "unreliable".
