Royal Family heirlooms go missing when they're accidentally misplaced by heir

With every family comes a history filled with years and years of memories. It is always heartwarming to hear tales of our grandparents or great-grandparents from back in the day – during a time long before the Internet and smartphones. For those lucky enough, they might have even inherited a precious belonging or keepsake that meant a lot to their late relative – something that they can hold on to and pass down for generations and generations to come.
When designer and British aristocrat India Hicks heard about her mother – cousin of Prince Philip and great-great granddaughter of Queen Victoria, Lady Pamela Hicks’ case of valuable family jewels, she wanted to see it for herself. With Pamela pushing 90, India thought it was a good idea to locate the collection of heirlooms, many of which were passed down to her mother from her grandmother, Edwina Countess Mountbatten of Burma.
The only problem? Pamela had no idea which vault she had placed the jewelry box. So India and her mother had no choice but to set off to the streets of rainy London, going from bank to bank in hopes of finding the misplaced treasure.

Model, lifestyle guru, business woman, and British aristocrat India Hicks has some pretty impressive roots. Her late father was the legendary celebrity interior designer of the ’60s and ’70s David Nightingale Hicks, and her mother – who is nearing 90 – is no other than Lady Pamela Hicks aka Prince Philip’s cousin and the Queen’s former bridesmaid and Lady-in-waiting.

Surely with a history like that, Pamela has probably shared many incredible stories with India – who now is a mother herself to five children. However, Pamela doesn’t only have remarkable tales of royalty to pass down to her daughter and grandchildren, she also has a vault filled with some of the most expensive family jewels in the world.
