Princess Charlotte, the seven-year-old daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton, is expected to wear a tiara for the first time at her wedding.
Unlike her mother and Meghan Markle, Princess Charlotte may have the opportunity to don a regal tiara before her nuptials.
Traditionally, royal women such as Kate and Meghan had to wait until their wedding ceremonies to wear a diadem, possibly because they did not inherit their royal titles.
However, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, who were born into the royal family, wore tiaras on their wedding days.
Princess Charlotte, being part of the younger generation of royals, may choose to follow the footsteps of Princess Anne and Princess Margaret, Queen Elizabeth’s sisters, who wore tiaras before getting married.
Princess Anne first wore a tiara at the age of 17 and later for a photo shoot on her 21st birthday.
It is possible that Charlotte will adopt this tradition and wear her first tiara for a special event, such as her 18th or 21st birthday.
As the monarchy becomes more streamlined, Charlotte is expected to represent her grandfather, King Charles, and father, Prince William, at royal events.
Although royal engagements no longer require tiara wear, Charlotte might still have the chance to wear one before her wedding.
However, tiaras are typically reserved for state dinners, so she would likely wait until she is married to wear one officially.
The choice of tiara for her debut has sparked anticipation among royal enthusiasts, with the Cartier halo tiara being a popular speculation.
Both Princess Margaret and Princess Anne wore it in their youth, and Charlotte’s mother, Kate, wore it for her wedding to Prince William in 2011.
Another tiara that could hold significance for Charlotte is the Spencer tiara, which belonged to the late Princess Diana.
Claire Beetson, the general manager of ethical jeweler Nightingale, believes that Charlotte or her cousin Lilibet might wear the Spencer tiara to honor their grandmother.
As Prince Harry maintains a close relationship with Diana’s family, it is more likely that Lilibet would have access to the Spencer family tiara.
However, as the fourth in line to the throne, Charlotte will have a wide selection of royal jewels to choose from.
In other news, Princess Charlene and Prince Albert of Monaco have been observed displaying a lack of passion and uneasiness in their body language.
Despite being married since 2010, the couple often appear uncomfortable when close to each other.
Body language expert Judy James analyzed their recent engagement and noted their awkwardness.
During a visit to the Testimonio nursery in Monaco, Charlene seemed more at ease when interacting with children at their eye level.
However, her clenched hands reflected her introverted nature during the appointment.
These observations of Princess Charlene and Prince Albert’s body language over the years suggest a complex dynamic between them.
While they occasionally hold hands in public, there are moments when they seem distant and avoid physical contact.
Their recent outing further highlighted their uneasiness as a couple.
Despite this, they continue to fulfill their royal duties and engage with the public.
