British royal family memorabilia - Guinness Book Record holder is an Aussie

Our crown jewel of a royal collector | The Daily Telegraph


JANET Williams has been named the world's biggest collector of British royal family memorabilia by the Guinness Book of World Records and the UK newspaper The Daily Mail.

But she's not a Brit - she's a grandmum from Woonona, near Wollongong [NSW, Australia], who has turned her modest brick home into a shrine to the Windsors.


...she became mesmerised by the royal family following a visit by Queen Elizabeth to Bulli in 1954 as part of her Australian tour.

"We were dressed in red, white and blue and I remember us kids running behind the black car she was riding in, waving our flags," Mrs Williams said.
