Some say they were romantically involved - possibly secretly married. Whatever form their relationship took, it was one that endured, extending from the death of Victoria’s consort, Prince Albert, in 1861, to Brown’s demise in 1883. During that time, Brown was the recipient of numerous gifts of jewelry from Victoria - stick pins, cloak clasps, and cuff and collar studs - engraved with her royal cipher. Upon his death, his collection also contained kilt pins and brooches adorned with colorful Scottish semi-precious gems and pebbles.
