What is Meghan's favorite flower? I inquire because if an entirely new tiara is made, this flower could be included in the design.
Charles should visit the Kent's and bring on the big wallet

Personally I'd rather he visit the Snowden's and secure the Teck Circle [IF it's not already been returned to the Vault]. It's geometric modernity would be perfection on Ms Markle.
The Kent pearl tiara was made from yet another of Queen Mary's diamond bandeau. There were so many, it's quite easy to get lost with them. The bandeau that went to the Kents often is nicknamed the 'crotched tiara', or something like that. But it's not the same as the lozenge tiara.Isn't there speculation that the base of this tiara might be made from the long unseen "Lozenge" tiara or the other small band tiara of Queen Mary?
She seems to be a big fan of peonies.
I came across these Peony floral earrings. If this style could be designed into a new tiara: Magnificence!
I think the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland or the Queen Mary's Fringe tiaras would look nice on Meghan. I don't think she would wear the Cartier Halo tiara simply because the wedding is too soon after Catherine's for comparisons not to be made.
Yes, but those are the Queens favorite tiaras and you will not see her lending them to Meghan or anyone else while she is living. The only time she has lent the Fringe tiara was to her daughter when she got married. The Girls of Great Britain Tiara has adorned her head for decades and is the one most associated with her. Do you really think she would lend such important tiara to someone she barely knows?
Meghan will be allowed to borrow a tiara that isn’t currently being loaned on a regular basis. Since Kate’s tiara was not designed for her I really doubt the Queen or Charles will design one for Meghan.
As it happens I did bare that in mind. I am aware that HM favours the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland and the Fringe. I was merely choosing the tiaras I liked best from the polls. I am aware of the background behind the tiaras, actually. I was simply contributing to the thread. I apologise if I sound a little cranky, I just thought your tone was rather patronising for a simple comment. I respect your opinion though.
I apologize if my tone was patronizing. I wasn’t aware from you original post that you were aware of the importance of those particular tiaras. They are beautiful and you are right that they would certainly look lovely on Meghan, but I think those tiaras will be reserved for the future Queen Consorts.
‘Tis all good, I appreciate your apology. ? Yes, I do agree that I didn’t make myself clear on the front that I was already aware of HM’s liking of the two tiaras - it’s more a mistake on my part. I’m glad we were able to talk things through civilly.
I voted other, and I'd like to see her wear the Queen Mother's bracelet bandeau with the rubies as the middle strand.

ETA: I really hope they *don't* choose the teck crescent, unless it's broken up and used to create a new tiara for Meghan. I personally think it's not at all attractive.
With that said, I also agree that the Teck Circle tiara is gorgeous.
Is that bandeau still available? I know that the crescent isn’t everyone’s taste but once you start eliminating those that we know are still intact but otherwise already loaned out or not available for loan, that leaves very few appropriate choices for a wedding tiara and possibly one she will have use of in future. That leaves the Strathmore and Crescent. I know the Strathmore is popular as a choice, but personally I just don’t see that as Megan’s style. The Crescent is more of sophisticated and substantial for future use. Jmo
The bracelets are still around today and are in the collection of the Queen. She wears them occasionally, but to my knowledge, the Queen Mum is the only member of the family who has worn the bandeau in public. You can see a very clear image of all five of them in one of my favorite royal books of last year, Angela Kelly's Dressing the Queen.

She isn' t allowed to surpass Kate' s Wedding tiara so this means the same Kate wore or a smaller one if they have one IMO
She might wish to Not wear a tiara at all
I remember Astrid Belgium not wearing one when marrying Lorenz Austria (Photo available?)

I think that may be a real possibility, though a hair jewel would be a nice compromise. JMO.
The tiaras can come later, for the dressy events.
Has the Teck Circle thingee ever been worn as a tiara? I see it referenced but don't think I've seen it as a tiara other than as a photoshopped image. I gotta say that if the tiara version lives up to the photoshopped image, it will be a very nice tiara.Voted Teck Crescent tiara, but I would prefer Teck Circle tiara rather than any other tiaras (including the Crescent) if it is still in the main line.
The bracelet bandeau is a nice choice too! I think its simple and elegant style fits Meghan. It would be a nice gift right? A convertible piece for the new member of the royal family.
