The former Kate Middleton wore the famous Cambridge Lover's Knot tiara, which once belonged to Prince William's late mother, Princess Diana.
Charlotte is set to receive the iconic Spencer tiara, which previously belonged to her late grandmother, Princess Diana. Diana famously chose to wear the headpiece on her wedding day to Prince Charles in July 1981.
Kate Middleton Skips a Tiara for a Flower Crown for King Charles III's Coronation. It is believed the Princess of Wales opted for a more low-key look to match the atmosphere of the scaled-back ceremony.
What is this? As is the known case so far, no one has yet managed to find out Kate Middleton's jewels of choice for the event. But we do know that there is one iconic headpiece she is not allowed to wear.
According to the source, this is because tiaras must only appear on occasions such as white-tie events and official banquets.
Known as the Greville tiara, and also the Boucheron tiara, the headpiece has been seen on Camilla more than 10 times since she married Charles in 2005. The tiara was gifted to Camilla soon after her wedding by Queen Elizabeth II.
When an occasion is coming up (for example, a wedding), the Queen will either choose one for them to wear or give them a small selection to pick from.
The Tiara Was Allegedly Connected to Russia
"There was one tiara that, I think, Meghan had expressed an interest in wearing. Then it was pointed out that there were Russian connections, which were all a bit awkward. Then it was decided that she wouldn't wear that one."
Meghan famously chose Queen Mary's diamond bandeau tiara for their 2018 nuptials, which Harry remembers as the one that "stood out" most.
Meghan reportedly wanted to wear an emerald tiara, but the Queen had selected a diamond tiara that had been worn by her grandmother, Queen Mary, in 1932.
Instead of a traditional church wedding, then-Prince Charles and Camilla opted for a civil ceremony at the Windsor Guildhall, followed by a blessing at St George's Chapel. Since they did not actually tie the knot in a church, it was likely not considered custom for the current Queen Consort to wear a tiara.
The necklace was part of a set which included a tiara, brooch and earrings. The stunning piece was passed down to the Queen Mother, who wore it often until her 2002 death. It was later lent to Princess Kate from Queen Elizabeth.
Kate Middleton wore a pearl and diamond necklace that belonged to Queen Elizabeth to her funeral.
The Duchess of Sussex inherited some of her late mother-in-law's most stunning pieces. Before her tragic death, Princess Diana made it clear that she wanted her stunning collection of jewelry to go to her sons' future wives.
After Diana's tragic death at the age of 36 in a 1997 Paris car crash, her jewelry was inherited by her two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. The glittering pieces collected by Diana throughout her married life held enormous sentimental value to both the princess and the princes.
Why isn't Kate called Princess? Even though Kate's mother-in-law was legendary 'Princess Diana', she is not a princess just because she married Prince William. To become a Princess, one has to be born into the Royal Family such as Prince William and Kate's daughter, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.
While the royal accessory is one most of us remember vividly, the glittering headpiece wasn't what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex originally envisioned for Meghan's big-day look. In Harry's forthcoming memoir, Spare, the royal admits that he wanted his wife to wear one of Princess Diana's tiaras on their special day.
Instead, the late Princess of Wales chose a piece from her own family's treasure trove – the century-old Spencer Tiara worn by her mother Frances and sisters Sarah and Jane on their own wedding days, which was likely picked for its sentimental meaning.
Since then, it has been worn by Victoria Lockwood, the first wife of Earl Spencer, as well as Diana's niece, Lady Celia McCorquodale. Following Diana's death in 1997, it was passed on to Earl Spencer.
Royal historian Robert Lacey clarified in his book, Battle of Brothers: William and Harry – The Inside Story of a Family in Tumult, that the reason Queen Elizabeth had rejected Meghan's first choice was a reasonable one: because the emerald tiara was said to have been possibly Russian, meaning that it could have been ...

She wore the Spencer Tiara into her marriage, and kept it after her divorce. But another of Diana's tiaras is still worn by a royal today.
Thanks to the late Queen Elizabeth II, who owned a total of 20 tiaras, Kate currently has three tiaras on loan: the Cartier Scroll, the Cambridge Lover's Knot, and the Lotus Flower.
From the Imperial State Crown traditionally worn for the opening of parliament, to the numerous diadems she has lent to royal brides, the Queen has an impressive collection of tiaras. Yet there is one that is thought to be her favourite - a piece she turns to again and again - the Vladimir Tiara.
Since marrying into the royal family, Kate has rotated between three historic headpieces 13 times. The first time she ever wore one was at her 2011 nuptials to Prince William, when she opted for the Cartier Halo Tiara.
