Queen Alexandra's Nursing Corps Badge Brooch| Princess Margaret of England Great Britain Countess Snowdon| Royal Jewel History

Princess Margaret was Colonel-in-Chief of Queen Alexandra's Nursing Corps, above we see her wearing the badge brooch.

The emblem is gold leafed in colour and the bottom scroll is silver coloured with the initials 'QARANC 'type faced in a slightly darker silver colour. The cross of the Order of Dannebrog is surmounted by the St Edward's Crown. 

The Dannebrog, thereon in the centre a circle enclosing the letter A, the cypher of Queen Alexandra; above, and resting on the top arm of the cross, an Imperial crown; on either side of the cross a wreath of laurel. On the lower portion of the left branch a scroll inscribed Sub Cruce and on the lower portion of the right branch a scroll inscribed Candida. Below the cross, and on the bottom of the branches, a scroll inscribed Q.A.R.A.N.C. Queen Alexandra chose the order's motto for the QAIMNS: Sub Cruce Candida. which translates to Under the White Cross. 

Her Majesty Queen Mary held the post of Colonel-in-Chief until she passed away on 24 March 1953. As is normal procedure, after a suitable period had lapsed, HM Queen Elizabeth appointed her sister, Her Royal Highness The Princess Margaret (later Countess of Snowdon), as Colonel in Chief. This became effective on 28 September 1954 and she held that post until her death on 9 February 2002. 

The Colonel-In-Chief is not normally an active member of the army and does not have an operational role. The Colonel-In-Chief does take an active interest in their regiment or corp and will be kept informed of news, changes, events, top promotions, awards and important activities of their regiment or corp. Colonel-In-Chiefs will frequently visit the various training depots and units of their regiments and corps. This can include key events such as at the award of medals such as the Royal Red Cross, passing out parades, unit inspections and the promotion of high level officers. 

The Colonel-in-Chief is as the Patron of the QA Association. 

Twelve QAs were given the honour of attending the wedding of their Colonel in Chief Princess Margaret to Mr Antony Armstrong-Jones on the 6 May 1960. This included the Director Army Nursing Services (DANS) and Matron-in-Chief (Army) Dame Monica Johnson and the Colonel Commandant Dame Helen Gillespie. The Corps wedding gift was a pair of 1829 meat dishes and a pair of 1816 silver sauceboats. The QA Association gave their Patron the gift of a Coalport tea service and a set of silver and enamel teaspoons.
