I agree Dngrsone - the whole idea of the Queen handing over something which was a gift from the King was just stupid. She gave D’Artagnan a diamond ring for getting them back, so she could have given that to the Duke. That whole chapter was a particularly clunky one.
Was Dumas trying to say all the way through this novel that monarchy, the aristocracy and the notion of chivalry and courtly love are all farcical?
