Indeed, I meant Cornwall, not Cambridge. I apologise for that, and have edited my post accordingly. I just hope that if Prince Harry marries, it doesn't become the Duke of Clarence; that will just be one too many Duchess of C... to deal with! --Previous Message-- : : Boffer - we know you mean Cornwall not : Cambridge. : The confusion is very easy to make : unfortunately. : : : : --Previous Message-- : It is clear from the phrasing in The Queen's : Diamonds that within the royal family, : historic jewels are no longer : "gifted" they are simply : "loaned". : : The main case being 'The Greville Tiara' : which has been worn solely by The Duchess of : Cornwall since 2005, which in the past we : would have assumed meant it had been gifted : to her. : : Now however, perhaps due to the lessons : learnt from the numerous divorces of the : 1990s, family heirlooms are simply loaned. : : Thus it could be the case that 'The Duchess : of Teck's Tiara' has never actually been : worn by The Duchess of Cambridge. It is : simply in her possession, in a safe at : Clarence House; and maybe one day she will : wear it. : : It is a shame that the Official Visits that : TRHs The Prince of Wales and Duchess of : Cornwall undertake, no longer include any : tiara banquets or official dinners, as these : would be the perfect occasions to wear this : tiara; which is less imposing that 'The : Greville Tiara' that HRH seems to favour for : the grand state events. : :
