Princess Charlotte might only be nine, but royal watchers are already talking about the tiaras she might wear one day. One of them is the iconic Spencer Tiara that Charlotte's late grandmother Princess Diana wore for her wedding to Prince Charles. Rumors surrounding whether Princess Charlotte—or Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter, Princess Lilibet—could inherit the Spencer family heirloom have been recirculating this month, but is there any truth to the story?
Per royal blog The Court Jeweller, the sparkling diamond headpiece was created in 1937 for Princess Diana's grandmother, Cynthia Spencer, who was married to the 7th Earl Spencer. It was then passed down the family line to Diana's father, and she borrowed it from him for her 1981 wedding and numerous other occasions over the years.
