To me, it seems Her Majesty is not a fan of the larger Delhi and Honeycomb tiaras due to their size, it seems that she prefers moderate sized tiaras, I'm sure because their lighter on the head. When she was younger, she wore the Cambridge Lover's Knot tiara and then Diana wore it, but Diana complained that it was heavy and gave her a headache. --Previous Message-- : : I imagine that Queen Elizabeth's Strathmore : Tiara (to give it the name from the QD) : would be lost in Camilla's hair styles. : : : --Previous Message-- : Perhaps the Duchess of Teck and the : Strathmore : Rose tiaras are more appropriate for the : Duchess of Cambridge? Personally I don't : warm up to the Delhi Durbar. Looks like a : tiger cage, an expensive one but a cage. : QEII obviously doesn't want to wear it. Good : taste. : I think the Honey comb motif tiara suits HRH : very well. Perhaps even better than the : Queen Mother... . : : : --Previous Message-- : : Camilla can wear any tiara the Queen lends : to her - except Camilla's own family one of : course, which is up to her family. : : The Durbar tiara was inherited by the Queen : anyway, from Queen Mary. It just happened : to stay with the Queen Mother for so many : years. : : And the Oriental Circlet always was an : heirloom of the crown and not the property : of the Queen Mother either. : : The Duchess of Teck's tiara (cresents) does : seem to have been given to the Queen Mother, : probably by Queen Mary. : : I don't think we have seen Camilla wear any : tiara that is her own outright property. : : : --Previous Message-- : Which tiaras did the Queen Mother leave to : QEII again? What are the choices for : Camilla? : : --Previous Message-- : : The Durbar Tiara is a sore point with me : because I deplore the alterations to it. I : do hope it will be restored. : But it had only ever been worn by Queens, : until Camilla wore it. : : I would be interested in seeing the Duchess : of Teck's Tiara (as the crescent tiara is : now known). : : : : --Previous Message-- : I still hope for a reappearance of the 'bird : cage' (The Delhi Durbar tiara) with The : Duchess of Cornwall. It was such a stunner : when The Duchess wore it for the Norway : visit in 2005! As already mentioned many : times on this board - HRH knows to wear big : jewellery, and she wears it so well . The : Delhi Durbar would be a nice change for the : Honeycomb tiara... Though it's a lovely : jewel and I don't become tired of seeing HM : wearing her Girls of Great Britain and : Ireland tiara neither . : : But maybe The Honeycomb tiara is more : comfortable to wear than The Delhi Durbar : tiara? As one can read, these jewels may be : quite uncomfortable to wear and headache : spending . : : : : : :
