A Sparkling Display of Royal Tradition: Tiaras Take Center Stage at Windsor State Banquet

Last night’s state banquet at Windsor Castle offered a spectacular display of royal elegance and heritage, as key members of the British royal family adorned some of the monarchy’s most iconic tiaras—each rich in history and symbolism.

Queen Camilla graced the occasion wearing the Belgian Sapphire Tiara, a dazzling piece from the collection of the late Queen Elizabeth II. Complementing the tiara was the historic Greville Diamond Necklace, adding further grandeur to her ensemble.

Catherine, Princess of Wales, chose her signature piece, Queen Mary’s Lover’s Knot Tiara. This beloved diadem has been on long-term loan to her since 2015 and remains a staple of her formal royal appearances, admired for its classic design and connection to Princess Diana.

Princess Anne, The Princess Royal, wore the Aquamarine Pineflower Tiara, a meaningful heirloom originally gifted to her in 1973 by her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, on the occasion of her wedding. The tiara features striking aquamarines in a distinctive floral design.

Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester, completed the regal lineup in the elegant Queen Mary’s Honeysuckle Tiara, worn in its diamond setting. This versatile piece allows for interchangeable central motifs, including a pink topaz option, though the classic diamond brooch was chosen for the evening.

The evening’s tiara selections not only reflected personal style but also underscored the enduring legacy of royal jewelry—each piece telling a story that spans generations.
