Royalty Thread #16: the best of times, the worst of times

I just love the "Lover's Knot" tiara that Princess Catherine wore to the reception with the Macrons. I know it belonged to Queen Elizabeth but was a favourite of Princess Diana and now Catherine. It is apparently very heavy but such a beauty.

That's the Strathmore Rose Tiara. It was a gift to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, when she married the future King George VI, and she wore it in the bandeau style around her forehead, at their wedding.

Isn't it one of the tiaras that makes it into all of "Which tiara will she choose?" articles that come up when it's time for someone to pick one?

Yes. It hadn't been seen in close to 100 years before Kate wore it.
