Whatever the tiara chosen by Catherine, all the press attention will be focused on her, as it is her premiere at a State banquet, so the Queen will be kind of outshined anyway (and probably the Chinese President and First Lady too... well, maybe the decision to have the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at the State banquet could be a mischievious tactic from the pro-Tibetan Prince of Wales in order to outshine the Chinese President... ).
But if Catherine's "competition" makes a bigger pressure on Queen Elizabeth II and drives her to pull out major bling from her jewel vault, I am OK with that...
