Queen's love of jigsaw puzzles on display at Sandringham

"The exhibition which offers an insight into the private life of the royal family opens today at Sandringham estate in West Norfolk.

The complicated 400-piece jigsaw puzzle, a collage which includes the Princess Royal, the Duke of York, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, Princess Margaret, Princes William and Harry and the Duke of Edinburgh, is among other previously unseen personal items on display.

The jigsaw puzzle was sent to the Queen, for whom puzzles are a favourite past time, in 1993 as a gift from a specialist jigsaw puzzle maker in London. The box is left plain because the Queen is understood to find that having a picture to follow makes the task too easy."
This would be even more adorable if the puzzle wasn't of the Royal Family. (What, are you kidding me?) The detail about the box I like though.
