The Duchess is most unlikely to attend the coronation. If she was to attend she'd have to provide her own tiara as she never was given one. So a buy or loan would be her two options. If she loans a piece that tiara has to either be part of a collection of a friend or relative or it has to be part of a commercial collection. Considering the way but the duchess and her husband have spoken about his family i don't expect that side of the family loaning anything. The Earl Spencer is media savvy enough to realise that H&M have lost their market value not only in the realms of his once brother-in-law but also in the USA so a loan from the limited Spencer collection also is unlikely.
Leaving Meghan the option of either finding a third party wiling to loan her a tiara or simply buy one. She and Harry ar worth a few millions so spending something between 250 thousand Dollars and a million dollars would provide her with a piece worthy of the monarch's daughter-in-law.
Still i fail to see how Harry either on his own or with his wife could attend the ceremony fixing his father as sovereign. That ceremony could seen a situations where Harry is required to swear allegiance to the new King. In such a scenario Harry could never ever critisize his family anymore for the duration of Charles III's reign. Im expedition both Harry and Meghan to stay in the USA and not to attend his father's coronation. Sad but true. I don't doubt Harry will live to regret his choice, but i don't think his choice is about to change.
My guess is that she might wear the tiara she was loaned for her wedding. Another guess is that she gets loaned one from some jeweler, a ‘merch’ deal where she promotes the jeweler’s merchandise and gets something in return.
If they Duchess of Sussex attends, what tiara might she wear?
In the unusual circumstance that Sarah is allowed to attend with her companion/ex-husband, I would imagine she would have to wear just an evening gown with her wedding tiara and no robe and coronet, with the diamond demi-parure that Elizabeth and Philip bought for her. Sarah is neither a Princess of The UK & NI, nor a Peeress, so she wouldn’t qualify to wear the robe and coronet of either. Still, it will be nice to see her Edwardian wedding tiara see the light of day again, if Charles III see fit to allow her to attend with her family.
I think she will. If Charles and Camilla invited her for the family Christmas celebrations at Sandringham i think it's likely she'll sit with Andrew and their daughters. So she will probably wear her own tiara and Beatrice and Eugenie need tiara's. I don't know what Queen Elizabeth did with her personal jewels though i find it a safe bet to assume they were left to Charles. That would not exclude her giving the right to use some of them to her granddaughters. At the same time both of them seem to have enough money to be able to buy something for themselves.
I wonder if Sarah, Duchess of York might attend the coronation...
