Princess Eugenie: Wedding Tiara and Jewelry Suggestions and Musings
 

I hope Eugenie will wear the York tiara on her wedding day.

She probably will as the tiara, as far as I understand, is still owned by Sarah. I don't see Eugenie borrowing a tiara from the Windsor collection when she can wear her mother's.

Does her mother still have it or has she sold it to pay off her numerous debts?

Probably her mother's tiara (IF it's still there) but it would be totally fine if her grandma decides to lend her one (well it is the first British princess wedding in England in almost half century since Anne's! :tongue:)

I imagine Princess Eugenie will wear her Mothers Tiara for her Wedding, or [in the unlikely event that she doesn't like it, or her Mother has sold it], the Fringe Tiara lent by HMQ for Princess Anne's wedding to Captain Mark Phillips.

The Fringe Tiara, which was Queen Mary's , but whose stones go back to George III and William IV if I am not mistaken, is one of the Queen's most significant pieces in historical value. Besides, it was the Queen's own wedding tiara in addition to Anne's wedding tiara. It was also worn by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. If Eugenie gets it as a loan for her wedding, it will be a major sign of affection from the Queen, but I doubt she will.

Sarah hasn't worn her tiara in at least over ten years, but I assume she still has it. If the York tiara had been sold or auctioned off, I am pretty sure we would have heard about it.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least, as HMQ is known to be VERY close to both the York Princesses.

I'm hoping for the Strathmore Rose Tiara but I wouldn't be angry if she wore the York Diamond, it's very pretty and would be nice to see again.

My top guesses

York tiara
Strathmore tiara
Fringe tiara

Fergie's Tiara. Honestly Eugenie is so close to her mother I can't imagine her not wearing it.

I imagine she´ll wear her mother´s tiara, just like Beatrice might will one day. She´s close to her mother and it holdw more sentimental value than any of the others. Not to mention it´s currently collection dust so to speak, so why not bring it back into the public.

I love the Strathmore Rose for Eugenie.

Plus (The York) it's a gorgeous tiara. Eugenie could carry off the York extremely well.

She could pull off the Strathmore too she has that look...but I think that's a very specific style that might not go with many dresses.


LaRae

Your right Pranter, i just think she’s the one royal gal who would look stunning in the Strathmore Rose. She’s a pretty girl so she’ll be lovely whatever she opts for. I hope like you said that she gets the dress right. Fingers crossed!

They are having a fall wedding...so we'll know more when they release the date. How far into fall might give us a better idea of the dress too. The York should go with almost anything.

I think Sarah’s tiara is far and away the most likely choice and I’m glad because it’s absolutely lovely. My hope is that she wears that with necklace/earrings/bracelet or other jewelry from the Queen’s collection

Honestly I just cannot imagine she will wear anything except the York Tiara.

Lucky for her it's a gorgeous tiara!

I guess I'll bring over my post from the engagement thread since its appropriate to this thread.


I guess it depends on which daughter will inherit their mother's tiara. I don’t think the sisters will wear the same wedding tiara. Even non-HRHs ,Autumn and Zara, Serena Linley and Sarah Chatto, used different wedding tiaras. I think Beatrice will someday wear her mother’s tiara, as she will probably inherit it as she's the eldest. Eugenie could probably get a one-day loan tiara from The Queen. Eugenie seems a little edgy so I could see her going for a bandeau. If the Strathmore Rose Tiara isn’t in too fragile condition, she could wear it in a bandeau style like the QEQM did.

It was stated some time ago that the so-called Strathmore Rose Tiara is in too fragile a condition and too tarnished for use. So unfortunately I doubt that we shall ever see it again, after all it has been approximately 80 years since it was last seen in public and neither of the Queen Mother's two daughters wore it either.
