Cool, calm, sophisticated, and regal… the Waleses take elegance and family to an entirely different level of royalty.

[༺𝐻𝑅𝐻 𝐿𝒶𝒹𝓎 𝒥༻ 👑 @HRHLadyJ]

The Prince and Princess of Wales present themselves with the effortless regal composure that has long characterised the monarchy. For those with a particularly attentive eye, our elegant Catherine is wearing a tiara unfamiliar to many yet deeply significant. It is a superb piece with a history every bit as striking as its appearance.

Queen Victoria’s Oriental Circlet Tiara is a rare treasure within the royal collection, and Catherine has now granted it a new chapter by wearing it publicly for the very first time.

Commissioned by Queen Victoria in 1853, and influenced by Asian artistic traditions, the circlet was formed of eleven large oval sections set with diamonds. At its centre sits a floral motif in Burmese rubies, complemented by further diamond ornamentation. Last seen in public twenty years ago, it is valued in the multi millions owing to its historical weight and the high artistry of its construction.

This outing marks its first public appearance in two decades, the first time it has graced a royal head since Queen Elizabeth II wore it in 2005, and the first occasion on which it has ever been worn by a Princess of Wales.

For those who relish the layers of royal history, here is the lineage of the Oriental Circlet Tiara from 1853 to the present.

Creation 1853:
• Commissioned by Queen Victoria from Garrard in 1853.

• Designed by Prince Albert and shaped by the influence of Indian Moghul jewellery seen at the Great Exhibition of 1851.

• Fashioned in gold and diamonds and originally set with eleven large opals framed by diamond arches and lotus flower motifs.

• The opals were mounted in detachable oval collets, each surrounded by diamond clusters reminiscent of the arches in Indian design.

• Victoria wore it frequently during the 1850s and 1860s, both as a tiara and at times as a necklace, since the opals could be removed and worn independently.

Queen Alexandra 1901 to 1925:
• Inherited by Queen Alexandra upon Victoria’s death in 1901.

• In 1902, Alexandra instructed Garrard to replace the opals with rubies, since she regarded opals as unlucky.

• She wore the resulting ruby and diamond circlet once publicly in 1907 Germany state visit.

Queen Mary 1925 to 1953:
• Passed to Queen Mary in 1925.

• Rarely worn in public, though kept within her extensive jewellery holdings.

Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother 1937 to 2002:
• Returned to prominence in 1937 upon the accession of King George VI, and swiftly became a favourite of Queen Elizabeth, later the Queen Mother.

• Frequently seen on state visits, royal tours, galas, official portraits, and even balcony appearances on VE and VJ Days in 1945. Notable showings include the 1937 Debutante Court, the 1938 state visit to France, and the 1939 tour of Canada.

• Although Elizabeth II acceded to the throne in 1952, the Queen Mother retained the circlet with the new sovereign’s consent until her death in 2002, wearing it for events such as her eightieth birthday in 1980.

Queen Elizabeth II 1953 to 2022:
• Became the property of Elizabeth II in 2002 following the Queen Mother’s passing.

• Worn publicly only once by Elizabeth II, during a state banquet in Malta in 2005, her sole outing with the piece before it returned to the vaults.

• She tended to favour larger and more luminous tiaras for the breadth of her engagements. The circlet was shown on display occasionally, for example at the 2003 Royal Jewels exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, but otherwise remained stored away.

Catherine Princess of Wales 2025 to present:
• Brought again into public view by Catherine at the German State Banquet at Windsor Castle on 3 December 2025, marking its first appearance in twenty years.

Next up on the royal calendar, the Princess of Wales hosts the Together at Christmas Carol Service. The 2025 theme The Power of Love and Togetherness highlights empathy and connection during life’s uncertainties.

This fifth edition takes place on Friday 5 December at 7:30 PM in London, and will be filmed for broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX on Christmas Eve, with a repeat on Christmas Day morning.
