Elspeth said:I wasn't trying to say that I thought she wore the Spencer tiara out of spite - just because the other tiara was a royal family heirloom and she didn't ever seem to feel that she really belonged to that family. I wouldn't be surprised if the lack of other tiaras coming her way from the Queen during her marriage was a result of her unhappiness with the family and the Queen's concern about where that might lead. I mean, to have just one tiara and just the Family Order after all those years of marriage is a bit unusual.
Interesting point, but I don't see the Countess of Wessex with more than one tiara. I think Sophie should have been given a nicer tiara than the one she was given. Even Princess Anne only seems to have 2 tiaras that she wears.
I also think Diana wore the Spencer tiara because it was more comfortable than the Cambridge Tiara and she was proud of her origins.
