The official link was posted on the previous page - it is the halo. The Wedding Dress, Bridesmaids' Dresses and Page' UniformsIndeed! I have heard three news channels say Halo Cartier tiara, and two more say its the queen mums scroll tiara!
I want to see the official statement from clarence house!

It's not a new name for it, The halo and the scroll are two different tiaras.

Cartier must have designed various scroll tiaras, as they were popular in the 1930's. But this is not the tiara Kate is wearing today!

Ok now I sm just getting annoyed- did the Queen Mary give the scroll tiara to Elizabeth on her 18th bday? If yes same tiara, if nor no- where are the tiara historians?
Scotslass said:If the then Duke of York gave the Scroll tiara to his wife then surely it cannot be the same tiara that Queen Mary gave to Elizabeth on her 18th birthday. If it was the Queen Mother's then she could have given it to her daughter, but if it was the Queen Mother's tiara then Queen Mary couldn't have gifted it.
If that makes sense - I know what I mean, but am struggling to put it into words.
Maybe I don't remember but thought official word was Halo tiara, the one Kate is wearing, was give to her majesty on her 18th bday by Queen Mary- thus it can not be the scroll

I am certain that is the Scroll.
I looking forward to your blog! I had no idea that this tiara was by Cartier. Great to know more detail about it know.I am watching the footage of her leaving the abbey. With the veil pulled back it is clear that the Halo is what we have known as the Scroll. The design is the same. Nice to know that it was made by Cartier and we now have its full history....Blog to follow!
