I wonder which of Diana's jewels we'll start seeing in the near future!
My idea - the Strathmore tiara for the wedding. It is a nice tiara - roses - very suitable.![]()
Don't you think Kate will receive (use of) more than one tiara? In addition to the Lover's Knot tiara given to Diana by the Queen, Diana also had use of her Spencer family tiara (which she wore often). I can't imagine the Middletons have a family tiara hidden in the basement vault!
I think the Strathmore would look smashing on Kate!
Someone just mentioned this on the other boards, but Duchess of Portlands jewels are up for auction soon and those sapphire pieces would look lovely on Kate with that ring.
Can't wait to see what beautiful pieces Catherine will receive from the Arab world as wedding gifts. Also hope to see the Queen give her some nice pieces. Interesting times ahead for us jewel watchers. I guess we will soon find out which pieces of Diana's collection went to William and what went to Harry.
I've always love that ring. I understand passing down family heirlooms, etc., but I really wish she had gotten her own ring. She's in Diana's shadow enough as it is (put there mostly by the press with their endless comparisons). I like the necklace and earrings. I wonder if we'll see the Lover's Knot tiara on Catherine's wedding day or if the Queen will cobble something togethor from the vaults (like she did for Sophie, Countess of Wessex).
But , at least, weren't Sophie's bits and pieces historicalAs long as the Queen doesn't cobble something together from leftover bits and pieces in the vault for Catherine, like she did for Sophie.

Sophie or the tiara. Calling Sophie a viking is a bit harsh.she looks like a viking!![]()
That is one of HM's favourite tiaras. Imo it is unlikely that Kate will get to wear it while the Queen is alive.I agree! I also think "the girls of Great Britain" or "Granny's tiara" as Queen Elizabeth calls it would look nice. I hope she wears her hair up for once.
That's a wonderful idea, I hope the Queen has it still in her possession. What about the Surrey tiara? It might also be hidden in the vaults.Anice tiara for Kate would also be the Ladys of Enlgand tiara (don't know if this is the correct) name which was a Wedding gift to Queen Mary who wore it a few times for official pics as Duchess of York/Princess of Wales.
I really wish the Queen would allow the brides to choose what they want to wear for the wedding and then maybe pick out a tiara to loan.
For the wedding I think the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland would look nice.
For loan I think the "scroll" tiara would suit her.
