Here’s what credible sources reveal about Princess Charlotte, now ten, and the royal heirlooms she’s expected to inherit—particularly those from her grandmother, Princess Diana, and her mother, Catherine, Princess of Wales:
Princess Diana’s Legacy: The Spencer Tiara & More
- As Princess Diana’s first granddaughter, Charlotte is widely expected to be the future custodian of the Spencer Tiara—the glittering headpiece Diana wore on her wedding day in 1981. Traditionally owned by Diana’s family, it is currently kept by her brother Charles Spencer, who has reportedly agreed with Prince William that the tiara should go to Charlotte
- While there is speculation Charlotte might also inherit other pieces from Diana’s extensive jewellery collection—like the sapphire engagement ring or South Sea pearls—the Spencer Tiara remains the confirmed heirloom earmarked for her
Jewellery from Princess Kate & Queen Elizabeth
- Princess Catherine possesses a jewellery collection estimated at around £82 million, including items inherited from Queen Elizabeth II and gifts from King Charles and Prince William. Experts suggest Charlotte could inherit many pieces in the future, possibly including Kate’s famous sapphire engagement ring that once belonged to Diana (worth around £300k), beloved brooches, tiaras, and necklaces Beyond Diana’s tiara, Charlotte may one day receive iconic tiaras linked to Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, such as the Lover’s Knot and Vladimir tiaras, which Kate has worn publicly. Some commentary predicts Charlotte receiving several of these when she comes of age
Diana’s Legacy in Traits & Interests
- Charlotte shares Diana’s signature expression—famously termed the “Spencer Stare”—a composed gaze seen in Diana, William, and their children. Fans and media have noted the resemblance, particularly during major royal events like the coronation
- She also seems to follow Diana’s passions—dance, especially ballet, as well as gymnastics and tennis—and has inherited her grandmother’s talent for mimicry and charm
Summary Tabl
In short, Charlotte’s most certain inheritance is the Spencer Tiara, a family piece linked directly to Princess Diana. Other precious pieces within Catherine’s collection—including items originally owned by Diana or inherited from Queen Elizabeth—are expected to be passed down to Charlotte when she reaches adulthood. Additionally, her personal likeness and interests reinforce Diana’s enduring influence on the next generation.
