Kate’s choice of tiara has a connection to Princess Diana, who often wore it after Queen Elizabeth gifted it to her. Originally commissioned from the House of Garrard in 1913 for Queen Mary, the tiara was designed as a replica of the Cambridge Lover’s Knot Tiara. The headpiece features diamonds and pearls set in silver and gold.
