I have just returned to the forums after along absence, so if this has already been discussed then please forgive me.
It could be that Catherine will be mindful of the etiquette surrounding the wearing of tiaras, that is they are generally only worn by married women, or by Princesses of the blood.
This was the reason why ,20 years ago my Grandmother did not loan me our family tiara for my wedding. I did ,however wear two of the detachable stars as hair orniments, as it happened this was a much more satisfactory arrangement, as the whole thing is rather heavy. Also finding a hairdresser to do your hair in a suitable style can be difficult in a day and age when tiaras are no longer generally worn.
Great find! This tiara is wonderful and would look great on Catherine.
People who aren't royals, some do wear tiaras (fake or real) on their wedding days, its normal but a personal choice. It would IMO be very disappointing if she did actually leave the church without one, after all she hast o accept her new role & tiaras are part of it. She gets married once in such a lavish wedding, in a historic church watched by many around the world, I hope she does wear one as she is part of the royal family.
I don't get the down to earth of she doesn't wear a tiara
although i have the impression she will choose a traditional tiara, like cambridge lovers or the spencer tiara in honour of diana.
I'm quite confident that if William were to ask Uncle Spencer to lend the tiara to Kate for her wedding that Uncle would oblige. For all we know they picked it up when they were at Althorp visiting Diana's grave. Though I personally would bet money that the Lover's Knot will be worn on Friday.
