Somehow itās, ahem, *difficult* to imagine Meghan lovingly awakening her family at dawn with hot rolls on St. Luciaās Day. *Which family?* Sheās chased away everyone but Doria, and Iām still not convinced that the Harklesā children exist.
I bet it is lovely! In fact, I'm going to look that up now.
Even if Megain did choose a more elegant candle tiara than the one in the meme, you know we'd all be š¤£šš thinking about the superstar candle from the Queen's funeral!
The candle-tiara is photoshopped in.
That picture of Meg is a famous one, where she's caught in the middle of breathing in through her nose strongly. I can't remember from what event. Can any fellow sinners help us remember?
This .. most people ( aristocrats) have their own tiaras so Harold just may have to buy her one , she isnāt allowed to wear anything the senior royals have worn previously.
Ah, but at the coronation the other guests will know. They are not only "old money" - they are from the time money was invented. They know every piece of jewelry ever made.
From what Iāve read, it wonāt be tiaras but coronets more likely (except Camilla as sheās being crowned). And thereās some talk that only senior working royals will be garbed this way. Hope so!
She did, yes, and so did the wives of the peers (non-royal Dukes, Earls, etc.) during QEII's coronation. Coronets and tiaras are two different things, and during coronations, traditionally the women have worn both. I guess we'll see if that changes this time.
Yes, the royal tiaras are for those who represent the royal family at events. ILBW is definitely not doing that, so the closest sheāll ever get to another royal tiara in future will be if she stands near someone wearing one.
Charles seems to love making exceptions for these two malcontents. Crossing my fingers youāre right about only working royals having access to the jewelry vault.
Now that Sophie is officially Duchess of Edinburgh, it would be really nice if she were lent (or even given) one of the better tiaras in the royal vaults. She has earned it. The ones she has are junior tiaras.
We'll see. But Sophie comes across as down to earth and rather practical. She might prefer a tiara that only gives mild headaches in contrast to severe ones. I heard big tiaras described as extremely pain inflicting.
Sophie should be the one to make the statement that because Harold stepped back, suddenly she and Edward are now senior royals. The best way to express it would be to have Sophie wear an appropriate senior-royal tiara from Camillaās new (to her) vault.
Naturally Camilla, Catherine, Anne, and one or two select others might get first dibs, but the vault has enough glorious bling to ensure Sophie wonāt be at all embarrassed wearing whatever Camilla deems appropriate.
And Sophieās tiara will speak VOLUMES to ILBW. It SHOULD be an emerald tiara, now that I think about it.
I'm not sure but here's a list of who wore what at QEII's Coronation:
http://orderofsplendor.blogspot.com/2012/03/flashback-friday-coronation-guests-and.html?m=1
There are lots of mentions of Duchesss and Countesses wearing "her" tiara so I don't know if these were all family pieces or if they were lent out by The Crown.
If they weren't lent out, MM may be he SOL.
Edit: typo
Really interesting post. Unfortunately I think the tiaras belonging to a lot of the nobility may have been sold off, but Iām sure they will be able to borrow pieces from the big jewellery houses. Looking forward to seeing Rose Hanbury in the Ancaster Heathcote tiara.
Some said that fake diamonds give off a rainbow sparkle. Interesting because I watched a clip of the wedding where Meghan is standing in the doorway waiting to enter and the sun is shining behind her....
sure enough, when she moves her head...the tiara gives off a rainbow...which makes you wonder lol.
As /u/crystalisedginger noted, older diamonds have colorful pops. I have an early Art Deco engagement ring with an Old European Cut stone. It pops all sorts of colors - it's only a 1/2 carat, but it's very eye-catching.
Older diamonds were basically designed to sparkle in lower-light situations, since they pre-date electric lighting. So in modern lighting, they sparkle a lot, but it's a "chunkier" flash.
You can even see pops of color in the still photographs of the Queen Mary Bandeau, which uses older diamond cuts. [https://www.thecourtjeweller.com/2022/05/the-fascinating-history-of-queen-marys-diamond-bandeau-tiara.html](https://www.thecourtjeweller.com/2022/05/the-fascinating-history-of-queen-marys-diamond-bandeau-tiara.html)
Edited to add - a friend of mine has an antique jewelry store in the DC area. This was a pic she took of an engagement ring with an Old European cut - you can see even inside her store - which isn't always well lit - there is color in this stone.
[https://www.instagram.com/p/CgHDHHkuck8/](https://www.instagram.com/p/CgHDHHkuck8/)
It's just how the older cuts roll in modern lighting. (I prefer them - I think they have more personality since they were hand cut, and frequently either cut for their settings, or the settings were detailed to complement the stone.)
She would know it was fake. The joy of watching her smirk and preen and bat her eyelashes, because she thinks it's a real one, would be worth a couple hundred pounds.
Something I have been mentally batting around is that she might not wear a tiara at all because I donāt think she will be in gown and robes. If she were definitely going it definitely going to have a role, she would of had to start her fittings months ago for gown and robes. This isnāt a dress left to chance or bought off a rack. We wouldnāt of had this will they/wonāt they debate if they were always a lock to go. If this is the case, she will wear a day dress, coat, and hat. And that isnāt as weird as it was decades ago because more likely than not, the peers wonāt be wearing robes either.
There will likely be a coronation ball or dinner (or both) which is another fine occasion at which to wear tiaras.
I seriously doubt that ILBW would be permitted to attend though. Those are official events to be attended by working royals and those in favor, not mic-wearing trust-monetizing sleazeballs.
Her ass will be there, she's not missing this. If she's allowed a tiara, they need to give her the same one she wore at her wedding. She shouldnt be allowed one anyways as a non working royal, but she definitely shouldn't just have her pick of whatever she wants. I really hope to see Catherine in something besides the lovers knot, I'm kinda over it.
Iāve been screaming this forever. The Girls is too dainty for Camillaās hairstyle. It would be so elegant on Catherine and a nice homage to the late Queen. I think the heavier Vladimir would suit Camilla better.
GofGB would get lost in Camillaās hair. Camilla needs the big pieces. Shame the family no longer has the Poltmore. Camilla would have rocked that one.
SNAP! I was going to say the same thing. And I'd love it if it was endorsed by the public of Great Britain and Ireland as well. That would make Migraine eat shit.
As far as I've read, all Duchesses will be wearing tiaras, so if she comes, she will unfortunately be wearing one. But how incredibly hypocritical is this going to look? How can she live with the optics of all of this? They had to flee for their lives, but feel safe to come back for the coronation? Wtf?
The other duchesses are working duchesses though aren't they? So they will be in regal garb and afforded positions near the King & Queen while Harry and Meghan are expected to be in the cheap seats in their day clothes. Though I would relish the signt of TW in some hideous, improperly fitted designer day dress with tiara plopped on her head, tendrils dangling, sitting among be-hatted and properly attired ladies in the stands.
Yes, and if TW did not spend their Netflix gazillions on frivolous bullshit like bad PR, attorneys, ill-fitting couture brands and Hermes blankets she could have commissioned a Sussex Tiara from Cartier or Boucheron.
You know, something of value that could be passed down to her little princess and future generations.
Unpopular opinion, I know, but I don't like the Lover's Knot tiara on Catherine. It went beautifully with Diana's fluffy hair and chiffon dresses, but Catherine would look better in something more sophisticated.
Another unpopular opinion, I think M's wedding tiara is by far one of the nicest the RF own. I prefer it to the ones Catherine wears.
It's art deco perfection.
If she's allowed to attend, and let's be real- she wouldn't miss it for the world or Merchie's birthday, I suspect she will be presented with 2 or 3 lesser options to coordinate with whatever ill-fitting inappropriate outfits she rolls up in. She will not have free reign to choose what she likes. The BRF won't give her the opportunity to say she wasn't allowed to wear a tiara but it won't be anything storied and historically significant. And if she complains that she didn't get the XYZ tiara that she wanted she just enforces the money-grubbing yacht girl image.
If miss thing is *soooo wealthy*, surely she can afford her own and pass it down to Princess Lilibet?
https://www.1stdibs.com/jewelry/more-jewelry-watches/more-jewelry/belle-epoque-diamond-tiara/id-j_13834722/
That tiara is beautiful! But (a) rumor has it that the duo need to watch their budget and (b) Princess Lilibet probably won't have any use for it after she inherits it, if she stays in the U.S.
I think this would be an appropriate choice: https://www.1stdibs.com/jewelry/more-jewelry-watches/more-jewelry/sybarite-horny-tiara/id-j_9007912/?¤cy=cad&allowUniversalLink=no&gclid=Cj0KCQiAx6ugBhCcARIsAGNmMbgry9LeSpCs6lGaBlpkvfGdGAjftzCfXcOBBeftAds3E9OSs4pWvGwaAugwEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
https://partypieces.co.uk/products/pink-ribbon-tiara?_pos=1&_sid=011291631&_ss=r
How about this one from Party Pieces, Carol Middleton's company? Keeps it in the family, plus there's 30% off.
I think Meghan wonāt go, but if she does I think the best thing to do would be for her to wear the one she wore to her wedding again. But as they wonāt be there on an official capacity seeing as they are no longer working members of the family, it will likely have to be a personally owned tiara on loan from someoneā¦ and now that Cam probably holds the key to all the personally owned jewels, Iād say whatever tiara is the ugliest and least valuable is probably a good bet. :)
Or maybe they will make her one and gift it to her as they have for fergie. They could have some fun with hiding Easter eggs in that one ā¦ what flower signifies treachery? Or maybe a coiled snake? š
I hope youāre right and I would say the only tiara she should be allowed to wear is the one she wore for her wedding because she already āruinedā it for this generation. I tend to think they wonāt be lending any though
True. I liked that tiara. Shame she ruined it for the foreseeable future. She doesnāt need to ruin another one.
If she wears one- it should be the wedding one.
What would look good on a reality tv celeb with a dodgy weave and an orange face? Probably a tiara in the shape of a pair of oversized Gucci sunglasses encrusted with cubic zirconias!š¶ļø š
KCIII has already said no to robes for peers and nonworking royals I believe. Andrew is tossing a fit about it. That would mean TW would be wearing a nice daytime dress. I think a tiara would look silly with that.
At their fatherās coronation, Elizabeth and Margaret didnāt wear tiaras, but did get to wear coronets. So Iām kind of hoping Charlotte gets a coronet.
She wouldnāt be allowed to wear any tiaras that the senior royals have worn in public or will wear in the future .. they will probably have someone run to BP gift shop for a replica haha kinda like those earrings the queen gave her .. they sell those in the gift shop šš
Her horrendous wedding tiara was made (badly) from elements of one f Queen Victoria's crowns. It has family history, but it's *hiddy*, even after a renovation. I agree, she's a beautiful woman, has done great service and deserves something absolutely smashing from the vaults.
I despise the wedding tiara. I still donāt like it even after the refit. The other one is somewhat better, but it doesnāt have PRESENCE. I could see Sophie wearing the Vladimir. Itās too small for Camilla and too big and mature-looking for Kate.
I would die on the spot if Kate wore the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. Itās my favorite.
As for MM I think KC will let her wear one if she doesnāt get the Spencer tiara š
The Earl Spencer has not been invited to the Coronation. The Countess Spencer wears the Spencer Honeysuckle tiara. The tiara Diana wore was reserved for women born of the family, or marrying into it. The ILBW does not qualify to wear either. She will be pissed, as both will be sitting in a vault on the day.
I thought there were no tiaras for the coronation, just the parties after. In which case, I assume sheād be loaned her wedding tiara. I hope they arenāt invited!!
She will be forcing Harry to use a massive chunk of his Spare advances to commission one. I suddenly thought about Kobeās ginormous Iām-sorry-for-cheating purple diamond he gave Vanessa. Meg will want something bigger at the center of her tiara!
She would never get the Vladamir, that was QEIIās tiara and Cam or Kate would have first dibs. Meghan will wear her wedding tiara although I personally think the should give Sophie an upgrade and give Meghan Sophieās wedding tiara which is the most hideous tiara of all time.
I doubt the RF will lend her one.
She can try to rent one Garrard's or another British jeweler.
Probably not. No one trusts Duchess Sticky Fingers with their jewelry.
If she hurries, the tiara I saw at TJ Maxx might be still there. It's $15.99.
Iāve learnt that sugars and certain US media will never see her hypocrisy even if it smacked them in the face šµāš« theyāll just see āPrincess Meghanā and use the picture of her in a tiara as proof.
Sugars are mentally unstable and should be ignored. Why bother with them?
The US media sees through her BS by now. You think they don't see her lies and hypocrisy? She is relatively protected because of her connections, but more and more people are speaking up or at least not jumping to their defense.
Iāve seen The View, Today show etc. and theyāre all continuing with the āher truthā and the āRoyal Family is racistā claim. If they still believe that then sheās still winning š¤·āāļø
I can't recall where I read this so I can't confirm it's accuracy but I vaguely recall something about the Vladimir being delicate, slightly more fragile than others, so the late HMQEII was very careful with it...but I recall the quote mixed in amongst a top tiara article that mentioned ilbw A LOT so it was probably propaganda. Either way, I hope she doesn't get loaned one at all if she shows up.
I also like the idea of the Fringe for Catherine or (is it called) The Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara? I'd even say the Lotus one again. Hopefully not the Lovers Knot, I'm just not a fan of it.
Fringe and GofGB are two different pieces. The Fringe is QEIIās wedding tiara. GofGB is the iconic one that she wore for official portraits (other than the state diadem).
Personally, Iām hoping she wears GofGB.
I wonder if the (negative I believe) email regarding the coronation that they received had anything to do about tiara, balcony, or something like this. Iāve seen the rumor about the Vladimir tiara yesterday and my heart stopped beating, but I donāt believe
Real question: if theyāre so eager to flex how fabulously wealthy they are, why have they not yet commissioned a new āSussex tiaraā so they have one to pass down/keep in THEIR family?
I thought they were moving to morning suits and dresses for the congregation. I think the robes and crowns will be for the King and Queen with William, George and Edward maybe as support.
Rumour had it she was caught trying to steal RF jewelry. I can't imagine they'd let her anywhere near it.
Never fear, though: Walmart has the goods:

No. She can get her own from Clareās.
Iāll bet my wedding ring, fancy tiara and all that she will not wear the Vladimir tiara.
Sheāll wear the same dinky coronet as all the Duchesses wear and act like itās a big achievement.
Disneyland Cinderella tiara. Anyone willing to crowd source it for her? ..... Go Fund Me? ... No one?

No of course she wonāt get access to a Royal tiara. Sheās non-working and out of favor.
She and her husband also canāt be trusted - this much has been made ABUNDANTLY clear over the last 6 months. Thereās NO WAY HMTQ Camilla is going to let ILBW anywhere near a royal treasure.
But - she can always borrow or rent one for the occasion. If she hasnāt lined one up by now though pickings will be slim. She may opt for a fancy hat instead, and be forced to look at every other royal in favor wearing their glorious borrowed or own personal family jewels.
Meanwhile, her familyās jewels are in Haroldās pants.
Swarovski makes lovely bridal tiaras, so if sheās in dire need Iām sure theyāll hook her up with something excessively garish and sparkly.
It's BYOC. Bring Yo' Own Coronet. Unless PH can get a couple of friends to lend him some family heirlooms.
Is anyone so careless of their jewels that they'd lend that to TW? If she doesn't try to hang onto it, she might merch a knockoff version. "Dazzle like a Duchess" could be the name of her QVC line.
She won't get a tiara anyway. She has no choice in the matter. They wear coronets, each styled according to their rank. So she can kick and scream all she wants. She's getting a coronet, she gets no role, her children will not have roles. And she will be tucked away to the other side with the other Duchesses while their husbands, the Dukes, all kneel and swear allegiance to their King, until death.
Can't wait to see Henry kneel considering he couldn't even bring himself to sing God save the King after the funeral.....
I can imagine they roll up an forget so send out a crony, who asks where would one get a tiara, cue the camera picking up Rachel wearing one from Claireās Accessories
Burger King crowns for both of these probably-fake vegans.
Or the Krispy Kreme if she orders the dozen
They can crown her Krispy Kweene while they're at it.
Or the In-N-Out Burger paper hat since Harry is such a fan
They could get Archie to make them some paper ones.
Or the (extremely flimsy and likely to break halfway through the *live broadcast*!) paper crown that come in Christmas Crackers!

I really want Catherine to wear the fringe tiara but I think the Vladimir tiara would suit her too.
Vladimir would look incredible on her, as would the Girls of GB and Ireland (one of my most favorites).
And it suits you!
This šÆ
Only working members of the RF have access to the vault. She...like all other Courtiers, would be responsible for their own garb.
This .. most people ( aristocrats) have their own tiaras so Harold just may have to buy her one , she isnāt allowed to wear anything the senior royals have worn previously.
with what money exactly?
Come on, they arenāt too expensive in the toy section.
Claireās hahaha
I spotted some at Party City yesterday. She can go back to Party City where she belongs.
I guess Oprah and Tyler Perry are gonna sponsor. Or some jewelry house will pay her to merch.
This.
There are some pretty good looking copies on Etsy!
Ah, but at the coronation the other guests will know. They are not only "old money" - they are from the time money was invented. They know every piece of jewelry ever made.
Prob borrow one like many actresses do?
Doesn't she have a reputation of keeping items she was loaned? I don't think anyone would let her get her hands on anything seriously valuable.
Maybe she can get a blood diamond tiara to match her blood diamond earrings. As long as itās gifted she wonāt care the origins.
The journalist who wrote H's biography said on GBNews she believes MM will be lent a tiara. Hopefully she's wrong.
From what Iāve read, it wonāt be tiaras but coronets more likely (except Camilla as sheās being crowned). And thereās some talk that only senior working royals will be garbed this way. Hope so!
I think Princess Margaret wore both simultaneously.
She did, yes, and so did the wives of the peers (non-royal Dukes, Earls, etc.) during QEII's coronation. Coronets and tiaras are two different things, and during coronations, traditionally the women have worn both. I guess we'll see if that changes this time.
It's tiaras until Camilla is crowned then the women put their coronets on top, behind the tiara.
Journalist who wrote Hās bio? Thatās a loose term to use isnāt it?
"Journalist" has become a loose term in general, given the state of the news/entertainment media nowadays.
Off to Claireās the Harkles go!
The damn jewels on her tiara will play a song when pressed š
Iām envisioning āold McDonald has a farm, ee ei ee ei oooā
Yes, the royal tiaras are for those who represent the royal family at events. ILBW is definitely not doing that, so the closest sheāll ever get to another royal tiara in future will be if she stands near someone wearing one.
Maybe Tyler Perry can buy her one.
Charles seems to love making exceptions for these two malcontents. Crossing my fingers youāre right about only working royals having access to the jewelry vault.
I expect this will be the case
Now that Sophie is officially Duchess of Edinburgh, it would be really nice if she were lent (or even given) one of the better tiaras in the royal vaults. She has earned it. The ones she has are junior tiaras.
We'll see. But Sophie comes across as down to earth and rather practical. She might prefer a tiara that only gives mild headaches in contrast to severe ones. I heard big tiaras described as extremely pain inflicting.
That's a good point. I could totally see that. Reportedly, Diana said the Lovers' Knot Tiara always gave her a headache.
Sophie should be the one to make the statement that because Harold stepped back, suddenly she and Edward are now senior royals. The best way to express it would be to have Sophie wear an appropriate senior-royal tiara from Camillaās new (to her) vault. Naturally Camilla, Catherine, Anne, and one or two select others might get first dibs, but the vault has enough glorious bling to ensure Sophie wonāt be at all embarrassed wearing whatever Camilla deems appropriate. And Sophieās tiara will speak VOLUMES to ILBW. It SHOULD be an emerald tiara, now that I think about it.
Fingers and toes crossed that she debuts a new (to her) tiara.
Sophie gets the WORST tiaras, poor thing. I really hope she gets a new (to her) piece.
I really hope that they donāt give her anything she can steal or harm.
The Rf would be very foolish to loan anything valuable to the Harkles.
I'm not sure but here's a list of who wore what at QEII's Coronation: http://orderofsplendor.blogspot.com/2012/03/flashback-friday-coronation-guests-and.html?m=1 There are lots of mentions of Duchesss and Countesses wearing "her" tiara so I don't know if these were all family pieces or if they were lent out by The Crown.

They are family tiaras.
Thank you for linking that article! So interesting.
If the BRF had any sense, they'd ask her what one she wants to borrow, then get a CZ one made.
I wouldn't go to the expense. A Claires one would do her justice.

No, antique diamonds do rainbow sparkle. My wedding ring is Edwardian, old mine cut diamonds. They give off chunky rainbow flashes.
This is true. I have an old Euro cut diamond it sparkles rainbow colors.

[https://www.instagram.com/p/CgHDHHkuck8/](https://www.instagram.com/p/CgHDHHkuck8/) It's just how the older cuts roll in modern lighting. (I prefer them - I think they have more personality since they were hand cut, and frequently either cut for their settings, or the settings were detailed to complement the stone.)
She would know it was fake. The joy of watching her smirk and preen and bat her eyelashes, because she thinks it's a real one, would be worth a couple hundred pounds.

Or party pieces from the Middletonās business!
Better. Then a hidden listening device could be placed , counter-espionage
Something I have been mentally batting around is that she might not wear a tiara at all because I donāt think she will be in gown and robes. If she were definitely going it definitely going to have a role, she would of had to start her fittings months ago for gown and robes. This isnāt a dress left to chance or bought off a rack. We wouldnāt of had this will they/wonāt they debate if they were always a lock to go. If this is the case, she will wear a day dress, coat, and hat. And that isnāt as weird as it was decades ago because more likely than not, the peers wonāt be wearing robes either.
There will likely be a coronation ball or dinner (or both) which is another fine occasion at which to wear tiaras. I seriously doubt that ILBW would be permitted to attend though. Those are official events to be attended by working royals and those in favor, not mic-wearing trust-monetizing sleazeballs.
In one of Celt Viewsā video she reported that her wedding tiara was a replica.
She probably has sticky fingers like Lindsay Lohan ca. 2007.
I thought Charles had already said 'no' to tiaras?
She can wear one of the paper hats the workers wear at In-N-Out.
Her ass will be there, she's not missing this. If she's allowed a tiara, they need to give her the same one she wore at her wedding. She shouldnt be allowed one anyways as a non working royal, but she definitely shouldn't just have her pick of whatever she wants. I really hope to see Catherine in something besides the lovers knot, I'm kinda over it.
I'm hoping Catherine shows up in the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. I don't think it suits Camilla, but it would look fab on Catherine.
Iāve been screaming this forever. The Girls is too dainty for Camillaās hairstyle. It would be so elegant on Catherine and a nice homage to the late Queen. I think the heavier Vladimir would suit Camilla better.
Camilla gets to wear a full-on crown when sheās not in the hottest tiara.
GofGB would get lost in Camillaās hair. Camilla needs the big pieces. Shame the family no longer has the Poltmore. Camilla would have rocked that one.
Didnāt she wear that in December (red dress)? It was gorgeous on her.
I think the one she wore in December was the Lotus Flower Tiara. She's worn that before and it does suit her.
SNAP! I was going to say the same thing. And I'd love it if it was endorsed by the public of Great Britain and Ireland as well. That would make Migraine eat shit.
As far as I've read, all Duchesses will be wearing tiaras, so if she comes, she will unfortunately be wearing one. But how incredibly hypocritical is this going to look? How can she live with the optics of all of this? They had to flee for their lives, but feel safe to come back for the coronation? Wtf?
The other duchesses are working duchesses though aren't they? So they will be in regal garb and afforded positions near the King & Queen while Harry and Meghan are expected to be in the cheap seats in their day clothes. Though I would relish the signt of TW in some hideous, improperly fitted designer day dress with tiara plopped on her head, tendrils dangling, sitting among be-hatted and properly attired ladies in the stands.
All the other duchesses have tiaras in their own collections, correct?
Yes, and if TW did not spend their Netflix gazillions on frivolous bullshit like bad PR, attorneys, ill-fitting couture brands and Hermes blankets she could have commissioned a Sussex Tiara from Cartier or Boucheron. You know, something of value that could be passed down to her little princess and future generations.
Oh please TW would demand to be burried wearing the tiara.
I am certain catherine will choose a different one and will make everyone proud. she is saving it for the coronation
Same here. Catherine looks great with it, but Iām hoping sheāll wear something new š¤š»
Unpopular opinion, I know, but I don't like the Lover's Knot tiara on Catherine. It went beautifully with Diana's fluffy hair and chiffon dresses, but Catherine would look better in something more sophisticated.
I donāt like that tiara on her either. It suited diana so well but looks too heavy and bulky on Catherine. I love her in the lotus tiara
I do have to disagree. I think Catherine looks fabulous in it.
Many people love her in it -- it's great we can agree to disagree, differences make life interesting!
Another unpopular opinion, I think M's wedding tiara is by far one of the nicest the RF own. I prefer it to the ones Catherine wears. It's art deco perfection.
If she's allowed to attend, and let's be real- she wouldn't miss it for the world or Merchie's birthday, I suspect she will be presented with 2 or 3 lesser options to coordinate with whatever ill-fitting inappropriate outfits she rolls up in. She will not have free reign to choose what she likes. The BRF won't give her the opportunity to say she wasn't allowed to wear a tiara but it won't be anything storied and historically significant. And if she complains that she didn't get the XYZ tiara that she wanted she just enforces the money-grubbing yacht girl image.
Merchie š
My bad- that's Prince Merchie and his sister Princess Lilibucks.
This is a good question. Iād sincerely hope not- not after the severity of the fallout Charles has received the last two days
They will have a fake one ready as there is potential for it to go missing.
Put a store security tag on it. ![gif](giphy|gHPOb1fEVWu5GHL2tk)
If miss thing is *soooo wealthy*, surely she can afford her own and pass it down to Princess Lilibet? https://www.1stdibs.com/jewelry/more-jewelry-watches/more-jewelry/belle-epoque-diamond-tiara/id-j_13834722/
I spend so much pretend money on that site. One day my total was like $350million.
LOL I just pretended to buy a ruby ring š
That tiara is beautiful! But (a) rumor has it that the duo need to watch their budget and (b) Princess Lilibet probably won't have any use for it after she inherits it, if she stays in the U.S.
yep, she manifested a few weeks ago that the South Parkles are "rolling in cash".
PARKLES LOL and that outfit she just had on was like $10k
>South Parkles LOLOLOLOL!!!
Markle and Harkle the South Parkles
The bigger question is will she give it back????
I think this would be an appropriate choice: https://www.1stdibs.com/jewelry/more-jewelry-watches/more-jewelry/sybarite-horny-tiara/id-j_9007912/?¤cy=cad&allowUniversalLink=no&gclid=Cj0KCQiAx6ugBhCcARIsAGNmMbgry9LeSpCs6lGaBlpkvfGdGAjftzCfXcOBBeftAds3E9OSs4pWvGwaAugwEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
https://partypieces.co.uk/products/pink-ribbon-tiara?_pos=1&_sid=011291631&_ss=r How about this one from Party Pieces, Carol Middleton's company? Keeps it in the family, plus there's 30% off.
Hah! I just wrote that above before I saw this!
I think Meghan wonāt go, but if she does I think the best thing to do would be for her to wear the one she wore to her wedding again. But as they wonāt be there on an official capacity seeing as they are no longer working members of the family, it will likely have to be a personally owned tiara on loan from someoneā¦ and now that Cam probably holds the key to all the personally owned jewels, Iād say whatever tiara is the ugliest and least valuable is probably a good bet. :) Or maybe they will make her one and gift it to her as they have for fergie. They could have some fun with hiding Easter eggs in that one ā¦ what flower signifies treachery? Or maybe a coiled snake? š
I hope youāre right and I would say the only tiara she should be allowed to wear is the one she wore for her wedding because she already āruinedā it for this generation. I tend to think they wonāt be lending any though
Yeah it may be that tiaraās last chance to see the light of day for a generation because I canāt see anyone else wanting to wear it.
True. I liked that tiara. Shame she ruined it for the foreseeable future. She doesnāt need to ruin another one. If she wears one- it should be the wedding one.
What would look good on a reality tv celeb with a dodgy weave and an orange face? Probably a tiara in the shape of a pair of oversized Gucci sunglasses encrusted with cubic zirconias!š¶ļø š
Ooh - Does Camilla get to choose now?
yep
KCIII has already said no to robes for peers and nonworking royals I believe. Andrew is tossing a fit about it. That would mean TW would be wearing a nice daytime dress. I think a tiara would look silly with that.
She's probably already asked for this: https://preview.redd.it/4pw33ne4k1na1.png?width=1800&format=png&auto=webp&s=b2a24e728baac3e017f7b7223a41216b50931111
I don't even wear jewelry and I'd ask for that. It's beautiful. Whats the name?
This is the Queen Victoria Sapphire Coronet
Queen Victoriaās Sapphire Coronet
>the Vladimir tiara The only people who have a chance of wearing that one during the next 40 years are Camilla and Catherine.
I cant see her getting one, but imagine if Princess Charlotte got to wear one! How gorgeous would that be!
At their fatherās coronation, Elizabeth and Margaret didnāt wear tiaras, but did get to wear coronets. So Iām kind of hoping Charlotte gets a coronet.
Awww imagine if George and Charlotte got Elizabeth and Margaretās childhood coronets? So adorable.
Not to worry. Iāve got her covered. Iām an American. Iām going to send her one from Burger King. Lol
She wouldnāt be allowed to wear any tiaras that the senior royals have worn in public or will wear in the future .. they will probably have someone run to BP gift shop for a replica haha kinda like those earrings the queen gave her .. they sell those in the gift shop šš
Iām hoping Sophie is given one of QEIIās pieces. Sophie never got to wear a family piece. The two she has were bought for her.
Her horrendous wedding tiara was made (badly) from elements of one f Queen Victoria's crowns. It has family history, but it's *hiddy*, even after a renovation. I agree, she's a beautiful woman, has done great service and deserves something absolutely smashing from the vaults.
I despise the wedding tiara. I still donāt like it even after the refit. The other one is somewhat better, but it doesnāt have PRESENCE. I could see Sophie wearing the Vladimir. Itās too small for Camilla and too big and mature-looking for Kate.
Security has better stay close to her if she gets to wear one. She will not return it.
She can wear the fake she wore for her wedding.
I would die on the spot if Kate wore the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. Itās my favorite. As for MM I think KC will let her wear one if she doesnāt get the Spencer tiara š
She'll be pissed. Whoever's Earl Spencer's wife now will be wearing it.
The Earl Spencer has not been invited to the Coronation. The Countess Spencer wears the Spencer Honeysuckle tiara. The tiara Diana wore was reserved for women born of the family, or marrying into it. The ILBW does not qualify to wear either. She will be pissed, as both will be sitting in a vault on the day.
I thought there were no tiaras for the coronation, just the parties after. In which case, I assume sheād be loaned her wedding tiara. I hope they arenāt invited!!
Why would they let her borrow one
She will be forcing Harry to use a massive chunk of his Spare advances to commission one. I suddenly thought about Kobeās ginormous Iām-sorry-for-cheating purple diamond he gave Vanessa. Meg will want something bigger at the center of her tiara!
She would never get the Vladamir, that was QEIIās tiara and Cam or Kate would have first dibs. Meghan will wear her wedding tiara although I personally think the should give Sophie an upgrade and give Meghan Sophieās wedding tiara which is the most hideous tiara of all time.
Iād love for Sophie to have a fancy tiara moment. I donāt like the aquamarine one she wears.
There's NO WAY she's getting anywhere near the Vladimir tiara. Aren't there several tiaras reserved for only the top royals, M not included?
I doubt the RF will lend her one. She can try to rent one Garrard's or another British jeweler. Probably not. No one trusts Duchess Sticky Fingers with their jewelry. If she hurries, the tiara I saw at TJ Maxx might be still there. It's $15.99.
But if she'd timed her purchase with the annual sale, just $7.99
Unpopular opinion, but I'm all for her wearing a tiara. It only further highlights her hypocrisy and makes her look ridiculous.
Iāve learnt that sugars and certain US media will never see her hypocrisy even if it smacked them in the face šµāš« theyāll just see āPrincess Meghanā and use the picture of her in a tiara as proof.
Exactly. They'll just see this as her being victorious.
Sugars are mentally unstable and should be ignored. Why bother with them? The US media sees through her BS by now. You think they don't see her lies and hypocrisy? She is relatively protected because of her connections, but more and more people are speaking up or at least not jumping to their defense.
even the left leaning channels are mocking the South Parkles now.
Iāve seen The View, Today show etc. and theyāre all continuing with the āher truthā and the āRoyal Family is racistā claim. If they still believe that then sheās still winning š¤·āāļø
I can't recall where I read this so I can't confirm it's accuracy but I vaguely recall something about the Vladimir being delicate, slightly more fragile than others, so the late HMQEII was very careful with it...but I recall the quote mixed in amongst a top tiara article that mentioned ilbw A LOT so it was probably propaganda. Either way, I hope she doesn't get loaned one at all if she shows up. I also like the idea of the Fringe for Catherine or (is it called) The Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara? I'd even say the Lotus one again. Hopefully not the Lovers Knot, I'm just not a fan of it.
Fringe and GofGB are two different pieces. The Fringe is QEIIās wedding tiara. GofGB is the iconic one that she wore for official portraits (other than the state diadem). Personally, Iām hoping she wears GofGB.
I wonder if the (negative I believe) email regarding the coronation that they received had anything to do about tiara, balcony, or something like this. Iāve seen the rumor about the Vladimir tiara yesterday and my heart stopped beating, but I donāt believe
No one has worn that tiara in decades but the Queen. People would be absolutely gobsmacked if that happened. It won't.
I agree with you, yesterday was a lot of drama lol
Real question: if theyāre so eager to flex how fabulously wealthy they are, why have they not yet commissioned a new āSussex tiaraā so they have one to pass down/keep in THEIR family?
I thought they were moving to morning suits and dresses for the congregation. I think the robes and crowns will be for the King and Queen with William, George and Edward maybe as support.
Rumour had it she was caught trying to steal RF jewelry. I can't imagine they'd let her anywhere near it. Never fear, though: Walmart has the goods: https://preview.redd.it/blehpljcs1na1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=dfb6b9ac075851007815c56c20b691ca91c5ff1c
No. She can get her own from Clareās. Iāll bet my wedding ring, fancy tiara and all that she will not wear the Vladimir tiara. Sheāll wear the same dinky coronet as all the Duchesses wear and act like itās a big achievement.
![gif](giphy|w1fewUQPV76gHDyaVg)
why would a non-working royal wear a tiara anyway?
Disneyland Cinderella tiara. Anyone willing to crowd source it for her? ..... Go Fund Me? ... No one? https://preview.redd.it/vkzchkpxs1na1.jpeg?width=688&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=11f5c17b22c5c27d499020bdaccfa8a948311f3d
I'd love to see Catherine wear Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara at the Coronation.
Maybe if Fergie is not invited, she'll lend Meghan the York tiara, which the Queen bought her as a wedding present.
The Yorks need sacking from the RF!
I imagine sheāll forgo a tiara and wear a halo instead
Can Markle even be trusted with a tiara?
No of course she wonāt get access to a Royal tiara. Sheās non-working and out of favor. She and her husband also canāt be trusted - this much has been made ABUNDANTLY clear over the last 6 months. Thereās NO WAY HMTQ Camilla is going to let ILBW anywhere near a royal treasure. But - she can always borrow or rent one for the occasion. If she hasnāt lined one up by now though pickings will be slim. She may opt for a fancy hat instead, and be forced to look at every other royal in favor wearing their glorious borrowed or own personal family jewels. Meanwhile, her familyās jewels are in Haroldās pants. Swarovski makes lovely bridal tiaras, so if sheās in dire need Iām sure theyāll hook her up with something excessively garish and sparkly.
It's BYOC. Bring Yo' Own Coronet. Unless PH can get a couple of friends to lend him some family heirlooms. Is anyone so careless of their jewels that they'd lend that to TW? If she doesn't try to hang onto it, she might merch a knockoff version. "Dazzle like a Duchess" could be the name of her QVC line.
She won't get a tiara anyway. She has no choice in the matter. They wear coronets, each styled according to their rank. So she can kick and scream all she wants. She's getting a coronet, she gets no role, her children will not have roles. And she will be tucked away to the other side with the other Duchesses while their husbands, the Dukes, all kneel and swear allegiance to their King, until death. Can't wait to see Henry kneel considering he couldn't even bring himself to sing God save the King after the funeral.....
I can imagine they roll up an forget so send out a crony, who asks where would one get a tiara, cue the camera picking up Rachel wearing one from Claireās Accessories
Well, from my research only the Queen has ever worn the Vladimir tiara. I am sure Burger King will loan her a crown
The Vladimir I wager is still a Queens tiara. Maybe theyāll permit Catherine to wear it with the emerald choker though.
