When will Princess Lilibet wear her first tiara?
It will be a milestone occasion when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s daughter, Princess Lilibet, has her first tiara moment.
Prince Harry and Meghan may have stepped back from royal duties in 2020, but there is a chance that their daughter will one day wear royal jewels like her mother.
Lilibet, two, and her big brother, Archie, four, are likely to carve out their own careers when they grow up, like Harry’s cousins, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
However, despite not being working members of the royal family, Beatrice and Eugenie both wore tiaras from their late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s jewellery collection on their wedding days.
Eugenie was loaned the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik tiara for her nuptials to Jack Brooksbank in 2018, while Beatrice donned Queen Mary’s Diamond Fringe tiara for her intimate ceremony to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in 2020 – the same jewels Princess Elizabeth wore on her wedding day to Prince Philip in 1947.
As Lilibet is King Charles’s grandchild, it’s possible the monarch may loan his granddaughter a tiara for her own wedding day in future.
Meghan wore the art-deco style Queen Mary’s Diamond Bandeau tiara with her Givenchy wedding dress when she tied the knot with Prince Harry in 2018.
