Princess Kate wears Queen Mary’s Lovers Knot tiara: American Countess Says Princess Kate “Uses Tiaras to Connect to Royal Women Before Her”…

“She’s placing herself very clearly in the line of royal women who came before her, not through speeches but through jewelry,” Montagu shared.

The countess explained that the Princess of Wales chooses tiaras that “represent lineage,” like Queen Mary’s favorite designs, and “continuity” when choosing Queen Elizabeth The Countess of Sandwich explained the rich history and importance that tiaras represent, saying “this is history worn and history understood.”

While many historians overlook the importance of fashion, its impact on diplomacy, heritage, and history can’t be overstated. “These are not just jewels, they are symbols of dynasties, diplomacy, memory, and love,” said Montagu.

“Each one carries the personalities of the queens and princesses who wore them before, from Queen Alexandra to Queen Mary; from the Queen Mother to Princess Diana and now the Princess of Wales.”
