She was not expecting it at all, as she was convinced she would be wearing one of the smaller tiaras (the diamond bandeau, or the diamond necklace/tiara possibly).
Perhaps its the Duke and Duchess intention that this particular piece becomes the family bridal tiara... The future Princess of Beira will surely wear it, and only time will tell if also the future Duchess of Porto.
Anyway, she is their only daughter so as proud parents they most likely decided that it would be wonderful if she wore this very significant family diadem on her big day, and that is lovely.
As for the Duchess, I'm hoping she will wear the aquamarines demi-set (or at least the earrings). They are such beautiful pieces but rarely worn.
