    I doubt that Camilla has any wish to wear the Lovers Knot. She is a sensible woman and well knows the hoopla and crap that the press would rain down on her head. :0

    : ah, thank you for that informative correction.
    : I appreciate it. I just think it is a
    : young woman's tiara and would be fun for her
    : to wear.
    : I hope that Camilla will allow the Duchess
    : to wear and use it when she becomes Queen.
    : As much as I do not care for the DOC I truly
    : believe all the jewels and hoopla are not a
    : driving force in her day to day decisions.

    : To suggest that the Duchess of Cambridge
    : should wear this tiara because of her title
    : is a bit fallacious. The actual Cambridge
    : Lover's Knot Tiara was sold at auction in
    : 1981 after presumably passing through
    : descendants of Augusta, Grand Duchess of
    : Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
    :
    : Roberts refers to the tiara in the Queen's
    : possession as 'Queen Mary's Lover's Knot
    : Tiara.'
    : It was made to resemble the original
    : Cambridge tiara but the upright pearls were
    : later removed.
    :
    : This was a popular design in the early 19th
    : century. See more examples on Ursula's site
    : here .
