“When Prince Charles and Princess Diana got married, my sister and I baked and watched the wedding the entire day,” Millett-Clay said as she reminisced about the moment.
“I will be watching this wedding from 10am on Saturday because I do not want to miss anything.”
Millett-Clay thanks her late aunt Dorothy for giving some of the items to her, but the rest, she began to collect.
Her roots date back to London despite Millett-Clay living in Benoni for the past 40 years.
“I have been collecting since I moved to Benoni from Bloemfontein,” she said.
The Farrarmere resident is a collector of plates, magazines, books, tea towels, Jubilee silver, diamond and sapphire coins, badges and a tea caddy to name a few of the royal merchandise she has.
“I have a whole cupboard that is filled with royal memorabilia,” said Millett-Clay.
