The question of which tiara Princess Catherine, the Princess of Wales, should debut next has become a favorite debate among royal watchers. With Queen Camilla recently bringing several long-unseen pieces back into rotation — including the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara and the Aquamarine Ribbon Tiara — hopes are high that more treasures will emerge from the vault. Catherine’s surprise debut of the Strathmore Rose Tiara in 2023 only fueled that excitement.
Below are the strongest contenders royal experts believe Catherine could wear next — each with history, symbolism, and glamour fit for a future queen.
1. The Strathmore Rose Tiara
A sentimental piece gifted to the future Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother) by her parents, the Strathmore Rose is delicate, romantic, and rarely seen. Long rumored to be too fragile to wear, its unexpected appearance on Catherine proved otherwise. Fans hope she brings it back again — this time with proper photographs and lighting to show off its intricate floral design.
2. The Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara
First worn publicly by Princess Eugenie on her wedding day, this tiara was part of a massive bequest from Dame Margaret Greville. Its striking central emerald and Kokoshnik silhouette make it both modern and commanding. Experts believe Catherine would wear it beautifully, especially paired with emerald earrings already in her rotation.
3. The Aquamarine Ribbon Tiara
A favorite of Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, and recently worn by Queen Camilla, this lighter, more flexible tiara is an elegant option for state banquets. With Catherine’s preference for streamlined silhouettes, this could be a natural fit.
