And it boils down to one thing: marriage. Tradition in the United Kingdom prohibits unmarried women from wearing tiaras—and in fact, the accessory is much more than just a gorgeous proclamation of royal affiliation.
Long story short, the tiara was linked to scandal, and so the Queen thought it best not for Meghan to wear it for fear of bad luck.
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."
Joe added that the wearing of a tiara (or coronet) also requires royal ladies to wear appropriate formal dress, typically a long dress. While Meghan is technically entitled to wear the formal royal jewellery at the coronation, it won't be her first tiara moment.
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.
A clear indication that this part of the story is false. It is worth noting that this story only came about after Princess Eugenie's wedding where she wore the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara. Speculators assumed this had been the Emerald tiara that Meghan had coveted.
While the Greville Tiara was actually Queen Elizabeth's—on extended loan to Camilla after first gaining renown as one of the Queen Mother's choice sparklers—the Cubitt Tiara is one of the Camilla's family heirlooms, according to the Court Jeweller.

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. Camilla wore two outfits on her wedding day, both designed by Anna Valentine and Antonia Robinson.
However, the tiara most worn by Kate was Princess Diana's favorite, the Lover's Knot. She has been seen wearing it on several occasions, the first being at the 2015 annual diplomatic reception, and then wearing the item for the same event for three consecutive years.

The tiara was inherited by Diana's father John Spencer, 8th Earl Spencer in the mid seventies and, as such, remains in the Spencer family. But while Kate may not inherit the famous diadem, it seems it will one day be given to her daughter, Princess Charlotte.
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.
Kate, the new Princess of Wales, wears Princess Diana's engagement ring and she chose a pearl and diamond brooch given to her by the Queen for the Cathedral service at Westminster for the lying-in-state.
