One of Princess Diana’s iconic heirlooms might go to one side of the family. Her Spencer tiara is presumably going to Princess Charlotte, much to Meghan Markle’s chagrin.
The Spencer tiara was worn during Princess Diana’s wedding to King Charles. The heirloom has been passed through many generations of the Spencer family. Princess Diana’s father, John Spencer, had lent the tiara to all of his daughters, including Jane and Sarah, for their wedding days. The last time that the tiara was seen was when Diana’s niece Celia McCorquodale wore it to her nuptials in 2018.
Neither Kate Middleton nor Meghan Markle wore the tiara during their weddings to Prince William and Prince Harry, respectively. “It was never a royal tiara, which is why royal brides like the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex didn’t wear it for their weddings,” The Court Jeweller’s Lauren Kiehna told Marie Claire.
However, it’s believed that Princess Charlotte will inherit the tiara, instead of Meghan’s daughter Lilibet. “Given Princess Charlotte’s prominent place within the royal family and her public role as Diana’s granddaughter, many view her as the natural choice for the tiara’s future appearances,” a source told RadarOnline. “There is virtually no way it will end up in Lilibet’s hands, and Meghan is seeing this as yet another snub to her and her kids.”
The Duchess of Sussex is reportedly “raging” at the prospect of her daughter being passed over for the Diana heirloom.
However, it’s not set in stone who will inherit the tiara quite yet. It’s reportedly in the hands of Diana’s brother, Charles. “The fact is, the Spencer family remains the ultimate custodians of the tiara. As the 9th Earl Spencer, Charles, 58, is responsible for its safekeeping and decisions regarding its use,” the RadarOnline source said.
“It’s likely that it will go down to Charles [Spencer’s] sons,” Kierhan said. “Eventually, it will be passed along with the rest of the family estate to Earl Spencer’s son, Viscount Althorp.”
