Unfortunately, I wouldn't look for anything anytime soon.
I think Diana would have left them to the Queen if that was her desire. Obviously it was not and she left them to her two sons to divide as they saw fit.
These are personal items and will become the property of William and Harry's wives unless their husbands retain ownership and allow their wives the use of them as is the case with Princess Mary of Denmark and the famous Ruby Parure.
Either way it seems that the collection will be halved and, looking to the future, William's wife will have access or a vast amount of jewellery that will not be available to Harry's wife. How that impacts on the division of the collection is anyone's guess.
I agree. The Halo Scroll is a small but very beautiful tiara. It didn't shine at the wedding because it looked too small for the veil. But with no veil, it will look great contrasting with her dark hair.
I wouldn't go for a very elaborate updo though. Hair tied, obviously, but something simple, to make the tiara stand out, otherwise, the wedding problem happens again.
very dated now, IMO.
Kate - sapphire engagement ring, drop pearl and diamond earrings, pearl amd diamond bracelet, sapphire earrings and she wears the pearl and diamond tiara that was loaned to Diana by the Queen
Meghan - 2 diamonds from a brooch belonging to Diana in her engagement ring, aquamarine ring, butterfly earrings, gold bracelet
This goes through some of Diana's jewels and what happened to them after her death.

How can I forget the gold bracelet, she just wore it couple days ago.
Kate's sapphire earrings: May I ask what's that? I don't remember it. I have a bad memory.
ThThe Swan Lake set was never purchased by Diana. It was in the process of being finished when she died. She only wore it once, to the Swan Lake ballet premiere. Afterwards the jewellers who made the suite sold it to an American I believe. It came on the market again only recently.
This article is riddled with factual inaccuracies, but here goes,nevertheless.....

If you check the link posted by Curryong, you would see Kate's sapphire day earrings.
I just read the Sun article (thanks Terri Terri and Curryong!) and I don't think Kate's earrings look like the sapphire earrings from the Saudi parure ? Kate's is faceted and surrounded by 9 round diamonds (plus 1 on top) while the Saudi one is cabochon and surrounded by 10, maybe she has modified a lot?
