♠ Royal Wedding Tiaras ♠



Princess Diana‘s wedding tiara gave her a “cracking headache” said her brother, Charles Spencer, in an interview on the American program, “Entertainment Tonight.”
Diana’s wedding tiara – which is known now as the “Spencer Tiara” – is a Spencer family piece with an elaborate design of stylized flowers decorated with diamonds in silver settings. Princess Diana (1961-1997) wore this and other tiaras (or coronets) many times during her lifetime.




The tiara worn by Catherine the Duchess of Cambridge is a rare piece of Cartier house which gave Elizabeth the Queen Mother to Queen Elizabeth, grandmother of William, the 18th birthday. This is a rare piece that was built in 1905 in Paris.





The diamond encrusted decoration, also known as the Russian Fringe Tiara, was a favourite with Queen Victoria and Queen Mary and was also worn by Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.
Notably, Princess Elizabeth, the current Queen and Prince William's grandmother, borrowed it from Queen Mary for her own wedding in 1947.
She in turn lent it to her daughter, the Princess Royal, when she married Captain Mark Phillips in 1973.
