And by the time Elizabeth became Queen years later, she still had not worn the tiara publicly.

Throughout the Queen’s almost 70-year reign, the Queen to this day has not worn the tiara in public, favouring other designs.

But as Tatler reports, Kate’s decision to wear her tiara at the beginning of her royal journey echoes the fact the tiara was gifted to Princess Elizabeth at the start of hers, long before she became the Queen we know today.

The Queen is often spotted wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, which was a present to her grandmother, Queen Mary.
