There's a perfectly good reason why Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle didn't wear Spencer's tiara on their respective wedding day

Given Princess Diana's wedding to Prince Charles in 1981/7/29, the thought is naturally drawn towards her iconic wedding dress, which is the creation of ivory silk taffeta and antique lace designed by a team of Elizabeth and David Emanuel's husband and wife. You can also use the following methods: ******* Complete with its 25-foot train and a tulle veil measuring 153 yards, the dress holds its place in fashion history firmly (and precisely)- but Diana's wedding look is the Spencer tiara she wore over her head at St Paul's Cathedral in London that summer day. Without it is not complete.

The glittering Spencer tiara came to public consciousness only 43 years ago, but its origins date back to 1919, when Lady Diana Spencer's grandmother was given a sparkler as a gift — but the history of the tiara will soon be detailed. "The tiara has been in the royal circle for decades because Diana's grandmother also wore it when she was waiting for the Queen's mother," court jeweler Lauren Kiehna told Marie Claire exclusively. She said, "Diana and her sisters all wore it for their wedding, and so far, that family bridal tradition has also spanned Diana's niece, Celia MCCORCODALE, who wore the tiara on the wedding day of 2018."

Kate Middleton, who married Diana's eldest son Prince William in 2011, and Meghan Markle, who married Diana's youngest son Prince Harry in 2018, "did not wear the legendary tiara because it was not a royal tiara."That's why royal brides like the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex didn't wear it for their wedding," said Kiena.

Sotheby's describes the Spencer tiara as "dotted with stars and trumpet-shaped flowers, designed in Garland style as a central heart adjacent to a continuous scroll." In addition, it is described as "a round and rose cut, a cushion and pear・shaped diamond attached in gold," and was presented to Cynthia Hamilton by Lady Sarah Spencer in 1919 during her marriage to Albert, Viscount Alsop. Diana's use of her family's tiara made it "one of the most famous diadems in modern history," Sotheby's writes, and, links to Diana began 105 years ago in the mid-1970s, Diana's father, 8th Earl Spencer John Spencer, inherited the tiara, according to Sotheby's. It was then worn by Mrs Jane in 1978, Mrs Sarah in 1980, and the following year, Mrs Diana in 1981."

The tiara remained the property of the Spencer family, and "the Spencer family always belonged to the Spencer family," Kiena said. Diana was not given a Spencer tiara, and it was only lent to her by her father and later her brother, who was willing to let her borrow the family heirlooms. "While she was a princess of Wales, Diana often borrowed the tiara from her father and her brother [Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer], and he "eventually passed it along with the rest of the family estate to Earl Spencer's son, Viscount Althorpe.""

While court jewelers report that during her royal life, Diana often wore the knot tiara of Queen Mary's lover—Ro "By comparison, Spencer Tiara must have been light and easy to manage. Diana continued to regularly rent her birth family tiaras, including a Royal tour of Australia in 1983, a visit to Germany in 1987 and a Royal Tour of Canada in 1991.

5 of Charles Spencer's 2 daughters are married ・ Lady Kitty Spencer married in 2021 and Lady Amelia Spencer married last year — but neither chose to wear Spencer's tiara.Lady Eliza Spencer, Amelia's twin sister, was able to choose to do so, as was Spencer's 2 young daughters when they married. (They were born in 2006 and 2012, so it will take some time for those weddings to take place.Spencer's eldest daughter has so far avoided wearing a tiara, but her mother Victoria Lockwood wore it for her wedding to Spencer in 1989. Spencer has been married twice since, and Caroline Freud and Karen Gordon (his current wife, who has been married since 2011) refused to wear the piece, as did Spencer's mother, Francis, when they married into the Spencer family in 1954.

Rumors that the Spencer tiara will one day be inherited by Princess Charlotte, Diana's eldest daughter, are not true, Kiena wrote to the court jeweler, and false media reports are using the tiara to create "a competition between young Charlotte and her baby cousin, [Princess] Lilibet." And Kiehna continues

As mentioned above, none of Diana's grandchildren will inherit the tiara, nor her son;it will eventually be passed on to Diana's nephew, the current Viscount Alsop, and will not be passed on to any of Diana's royal descendants.Diana's grandson will not inherit the tiara, nor her son;it will eventually be passed on to Diana's nephew, to none of Diana's royal descendants. 

After Diana's death in 1997, her brother exhibited a tiara that she made so famous that it is shown as part of Diana: a celebration, a run for years, and a Spencer honeysuckle tiara that Diana never wore in public was also exhibited at the exhibition, she wrote. More recently, Spencer allowed Sotheby's to include his family's heirloom tiara in its special Platinum Jubilee tiara exhibition, allowing the public to "see the gorgeous tiara in truly amazing detail," Kiehna wrote in Court Jeweler, adding Spencer's tiara "to make it look like a real heirloom tiara." Is such a symbolic, noble jewel.”
