Princess Kate's tiara moment at the royal wedding, a historic milestone

Yes, we are still thinking about the Jordanian royal wedding that took place last Thursday. The tiara on her head, the Queen Mary's Lover's Knot Tiara, is a longtime favorite and has been worn many times before, but there was an important first time for her to wear it: it was the first time she had worn the tiara outside the UK

.

But it's true: despite having visited many different countries in the 12 years since her marriage to Prince William in 2011 as senior royalty, the wedding of Jordan's Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Raja was a historic first for her.

In addition, Kate wore her tiara in a different style than usual. People reports, "She wore her tiara as a headband and wore her hair down at the reception." Recall that Princess Kate first tried the tiara and loose hair combination at a diplomatic corps reception at Buckingham Palace last December, when she wore the Lotus Flower Tiara instead of the Queen Mary Lovers Knot Tiara. [At her wedding on April 29, 2011, she wore Queen Elizabeth's Cartier Halo Tiara. But the Queen Mary Lovers Knot Tiara is her favorite. According to Court Jeweler magazine, the tiara is over 100 years old and was originally ordered by Queen Mary from jeweler Garrard in 1913 or 1914. People reports that "the piece is a replica of a tiara that belonged to Princess Augusta of Hesse, Queen Mary's grandmother, who held the title of Duchess of Cambridge (the same as the current Princess of Wales)."

Kate made her debut with a tiara and a pair of Greville chandelier earrings that once belonged to the late Queen. According to the Royal Collection Trust, Queen Elizabeth received the earrings as a wedding gift from her parents, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, when she married Prince Philip in 1947.

Kate was not the only member of the British royal family to take out a tiara for the Jordanian royal wedding. Princess Beatrice wore a tiara for the second time, the first time being her mother Sarah Ferguson's York Tiara. The tiara was purchased by Queen Elizabeth for Ferguson, and the Duchess of York wore it at her wedding to Prince Andrew in 1986. Beatrice only wore a tiara at her own wedding in 2020, when she chose the Queen Mary Diamond Fringe Tiara, the same one her grandmother Queen Elizabeth wore at her wedding.
