When it comes to British royal tiaras, we don't get too many surprises. Princess Kate tends to favor the Lover's Knot Tiara, like her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, and Queen Camilla often chooses her favorite Greville Tiara at events like state banquets. However, on Tuesday, Dec. 3, royal watchers were treated to a tiara debut for The Queen—and it's certainly a whopper.
Queen Camilla stepped out in a gorgeous red velvet gown by Fiona Clare at a state banquet held in honor of the Qatari state visit, but it was her glittering tiara that truly stole the show. She wore Queen Alexandra's Kokoshnik Tiara, a piece that was last seen on Queen Elizabeth nearly a decade ago.
