South African state banquet this week - which tiaras?
Posted by JohnAF on November 21, 2022, 9:46 pm
Which tiaras do we hope to see being worn by the Queen Consort & the Princess of Wales? Personally I'm hoping for Queen Alexandras Kokoshnik tiara for the Queen & maybe the Girls of Great Britain for the Princess of Wales. Just hoping they don't go with their usual choices of the Greville & the Lovers Knot.

Anything other than their usual ones! We haven't yet seem them wear any of QEII jewels that they hadn't been lent before she passed away which is a bit disappointing. I think jewels not strongly associated with QEII maybe worn first.
Camilla - the Oriental Circlet or Greville Emerald tiara
Catherine - the sunburst / Empress Marie Feodorovna Sapphire bandeau tiara or the Strathmore Rose tiara

I suspect they will wait with tiaras closely associated with the late Queen. The oriental circlet is a good suggestion for Queen Camilla. I would love to see the Strathmore Rose tiara, but it is apparently rather fragile. I suspect the Princess of Wales will wear the one she usually wears, the Loverīs knot tiara.
