OYAL DRAMA! Princess Anne Hands Diana’s Crown to Charlotte — Lilibet Left Out in the Cold, Harry Throws Royal-Sized Tantrum!
The royal family has once again found itself at the center of a media firestorm after Princess Anne reportedly handed over Princess Diana’s iconic tiara to Princess Charlotte, leaving Princess Lilibet Diana — Prince Harry’s daughter — entirely excluded from the historic inheritance.
The emotional crown in question? The Spencer Tiara, famously worn by Diana on her wedding day and at countless royal events. Long considered one of the most sentimental and symbolic pieces in royal history, the tiara had remained in private storage — until now.
According to insiders, Princess Anne, the King’s sister, personally arranged for the tiara to be presented to Charlotte as a “gift in trust” for her future 18th birthday, securing its placement within the senior royal line. The decision was said to have been quietly approved by Prince William and Princess Catherine, who viewed it as a “fitting tribute” to Diana’s legacy through their daughter.
But the move has infuriated Prince Harry, who reportedly erupted in anger when informed of the decision via palace intermediaries.
“That was my mother’s crown. That’s my daughter’s name — Lilibet Diana — and she gets nothing?!” Harry was overheard saying, according to a source close to the Sussex camp. “It’s not just disrespectful. It’s deliberate.”
According to royal insiders, Harry even attempted a last-minute appeal directly to King Charles, asking that the tiara be split, loaned, or at least rotated between the two girls when they come of age. The request, reportedly met with polite silence, was never acted on.
Meanwhile, sources say Meghan Markle is “furious” behind closed doors, seeing the tiara’s reallocation as another pointed “symbol of exclusion” aimed at her family.
The timing couldn’t be more sensitive. With growing calls for reconciliation between Harry and the rest of the royal family, this latest clash appears to have set back any progress that might have been made in the wake of King Charles’s health issues earlier this year.
Back in London, however, palace officials are defending the decision, noting that Charlotte, as the daughter of the future king, is the most senior royal-born female of her generation actively involved in royal life.
“It’s about tradition, presence, and proximity,” said a source close to Princess Anne. “Lilibet is adored from afar, but she is not part of the institution in any practical way.”
Public reaction has been fierce. Royal fans are bitterly divided, with hashtags like #CharlotteCrowned and #JusticeForLilibet trending side by side.
One social media user wrote:
“Diana wore that tiara with love. It should unite, not divide. This feels cruel.”
Others countered:
“Charlotte will be a working royal. Lilibet lives in California. It’s a matter of duty, not emotion.”
As tensions simmer and headlines swirl, one thing is clear: even Diana’s jewels are now caught in the crossfire of the Windsor family’s ongoing saga.
