~Something Borrowed~The Diamond Tiara Worn by Kate Middleton
|
|
 |
|
| |
| Before the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, much was said and written about the kind of headdress she would wear with her veil. The favourite suggestion was that she would not wear a tiara at all, but a circle of flowers that would keep her veil in place. |
| |
| In the UK, a mystery bidder placed a £6000 bet on the George III Tiara at Ladbrokes, that Kate would wear this diamond crusted creation, also known as the The Russian Fringe. This piece is a diamond tiara that has been worn by Queen Mary, the Queen Mother, the Queen and the Princess Royal. The bet, if it had materialised would have netted the gambler £72,000. |
| |
| In fact, this risky bet was to provide a disappointment for the anonymous bidder because Kate Middleton, now known as the Duchess of Cambridge wore the wedding tiara that Queen Elizabeth II wore at her own wedding 1947. |
| |
 |
| |
| This superb diamond creation was presented to the present Queen, Elizabeth II on her 18th birthday and was given to King George VI' wife three weeks before his brother, the heir and first in line ascended the throne. Subsequently, the tiara was worn by The Queen in 1947 on her marriage to Philip of Greece, now known as Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. |
| |
| To match the tiara, Kate Middleton's parents commissioned Robinson Pelham to create a pair of exquisite diamond earrings for her to wear on her wedding day. |
| |
| The earrings were created to echo the coat of arms of the Middleton family, incorporating an oak leaf and acorn design in diamonds. |
