There are certain tiaras particular royals gravitate towards and so I wasn’t at all surprised to see the Duchess of Edinburgh step out in her beloved aquamarine headpiece for the State Banquet at Windsor Castle. Held for the State Visit of President Emmanuel Macron of France, these occasions are pretty much the only time we see tiaras worn nowadays.
Duchess Sophie’s Aquamarine Tiara also got brought out of her collection for a State Banquet held last November and it’s one of her favourites. It’s been suggested over the years that it was bespoke made for her and she’s got a trick that means she can get maximum wear out of it.
