Lady Louise Windsor, the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, is approaching her 20th birthday in November, yet she has not had the opportunity to wear a tiara like her cousins, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

Unlike Beatrice and Eugenie, who were born princesses, they did not wear tiaras until their respective wedding anniversaries.
Eugenie, who married Jack Brooksbank in October 2018, received the Greville Emerald Kokoschnik tiara as a result.
On the other hand, Beatrice wore Queen Mary’s diamond tiara when she tied the knot with property developer Edardo Moppelli Mosai in July 2020.
Similarly, Lady Louise is expected to wear a tiara for the first time at her own wedding.
Additionally, she has access to a collection of her mother Sophia’s jewelry.
When Sophia married Prince Edward in 1999, she received the Anthem tiara, which is said to be made up of pieces from the late Queen Elizabeth II’s collection.
This tiara holds special significance for Sophia and has recently undergone a makeover.
The Duchess also possesses an aquamarine tiara that can be transformed into a necklace, believed to be part of her personal collection.
Furthermore, Sophia frequently adorns herself with the late Queen’s five-aquamarine tiara.
Princess Anne stands out as one of the few royals who wore a tiara before her wedding.
In the past, royal ladies would wear jewelry for film premieres and balls.
Nowadays, tiaras are typically reserved for state dinners, the annual reception of the diplomatic corps, and the opening of Parliament.
Princess Beatrice showcased her stunning tiara for the second time in June when she wore the York tiara at the wedding of Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan and Princess Rajah.
This was the first sighting of the diamond tiara in over two decades.
Sarah, Duchess of York, Beatrice’s mother, received this tiara as a gift from her husband’s parents, the late Queen Elizabeth and the late Duke of Edinburgh, upon her marriage to Prince Andrew in 1986.
Lady Louise has recently obtained her driver’s license and is currently studying English at St. Petersburg University.
It is not expected that she will become a full-time royal upon graduation.
In an interview with the Sunday Times in 2020, the Duchess discussed the future plans for Lady Louise and her brother James, Earl of Wessex, emphasizing the importance of them understanding the need to work for a living.
