Why Kate Middleton Won't Inherit Princess Diana's Coveted Wedding Tiara

Princess Diana rides in a carriage following her wedding to Prince Charles, while wearing a voluminous wedding gown and long veil with the Spencer tiara, and Kate Middleton wears a lace white wedding gown with a tiara and veil as she marries Prince William.

As Prince William's wife, Kate Middleton has inherited much of her late mother-in-law Princess Diana's jewelry collection. However, there's one item that neither Princess Kate nor Duchess Meghan will inherit, despite marrying Princess Diana's sons.

At her wedding to a then-Prince Charles on July 29, 1981, Princess Diana wore the Spencer tiara. The Spencer family heirloom was worn by both of Diana's older sisters, Jane and Sarah, at their respective weddings, too.
