Kate Middleton just wore a tiara for the third time ever and the British press is. Freaking. Out.Proving once again that stars—they’re just like us! Middleton recycled a tiara she’s already worn. Which might seem accessible and so chill, tiara-wise, but is kind of boring when you have an entire vault full of diamond crowns from which to choose.
The Duchess of Cambridge, who gave birth to her second child, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, in May, wore Cartier’s halo tiara for her wedding to Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. At her mother-in-law’s annual diplomatic reception at Buckingham Palace in 2013, she wore the Lotus Flower tiara, which is what she wore again on Tuesday night, when she and her husband William, Duke of Cambridge, welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife, Peng Liyuan to Middleton’s first state banquet.
For months, the British press has wondered just which crown she would choose. “Will Kate borrow a tiara from the Queen or choose one of Princess Diana’s [favorites] at her first ever state banquet at Buckingham Palace?” asked the Daily Mail. “Kate’s first state banquet: Which tiara will she wear?” wrote Hello. And Vogue UK pondered “Duchess Catherine’s Diamond Decision.”
Cartier or Garrard? Something subtle purchased by the people or stacks on stacks of diamonds gifted from Russia? Middleton could have worn any of the following crowns with her bespoke Jenny Packham dress (red, of course, for China). Instead she chose the Lotus Flower, or Papyrus, which was a gift to Princess Margaret from the Queen Mother, who asked Garrard to turn a necklace into this tiara.yahoo
