During her time, Queen Mary was known for setting the tone of the British Royal Family, as the model of regal formality and propriety, especially during State occasions. She was the first Queen consort to attend the coronation of her successors. Known for the way she superbly bejeweled herself for formal events, Queen Mary's valuable collection of jewels built up over her years as queen is now considered priceless.
